We fell upon this pub in the summer and now it's our go to place for a nice meal.
I wanted to say a special thanks to the chef this evening for cooking a wonderful meal on my birthday it was really appreciated as we didn't realise the kitchen closed at 8pm and we arrived at 7:55pm. Thank you so much for putting your chef whites on, you didn't know it was my birthday nor that I was looking forward to it being a new mum. The steak & scampi special was beautiful and I cannot rate the burgers highly enough.
Grest beer Great food great staff couldn't fault the place 10 out 10
We had an eventful night at first here! Unfortunately we had a motorcyclist collide with us from behind as we were turning into the pub! All the staff were very kind and caring about us and the unfortunate young lad who hit us. The meal was superb once we got round to eating it and we will most definitely be comming again very soon!! Many thanks to all the staff for thier patience and superb service! And apologies if we made anyone wait for food!! Best wishes, Simon and Claire.
Very, very good indeed. Excellent food, and extremely nice staff. So helpful and accommodating. Would thoroughly recommend.
great family pub with good beer garden good pub food
Took my dad and the dog on a day boat and we stopped along the canal at the navigation, so happy my dog was alloward in staff friendly. Highly recommended
Fantastic place to eat, had my birthday meal here and can not thank everyone here enough , the food was amazing and it was always served with a smile
Had a meal here today the food was amazing and very reasonably priced and very friendly staff
Awesome food, awesome staff, excellent location by the canal.
Popped in for lunch on the Summer Solstice . Lovely place with friendly staff. I had Beer battered Cod whilst my husband opted for a omelette. My Cod came with freshly made tartare sauce which was perfect . Delicious.
We couldn't fault the service or the food.
Cracking pub in a great location. Called in for a pint and a snack after walking along the canal and stayed much longer than expected. Great atmosphere, snacks, drink selection and friendly staff. The onion rings are an absolute must!!
Absolutely Fantastic Food, Very good portions, Good price.
The Food was Devine, it's a long time since we've had food cooked to perfection at any establishment.
The Chef at The Navigation Inn deserves a Medal.
10/10.
Will definitely Return, and can Definitely Recommend.
A cracker of a pub. Good food and a smashing atmosphere. We turned up soaking wet from a paddle on the canal and we were looked after with radiators to dry kit. Excellent ππ
Only had a quick drink and snack, so can't really comment on the food. But sandwich and chips were good. Only pub open on Mondays in village, average selection of beers. Other diners food looked appeasing.
Great food. Nice atmosphere
We stopped for some drinks at The Navigation Inn at Gnosall, whilst hiring the Canal boat for the day.
Great service and a lovely pint of Guinness.
Pub was very clean and tidy, very welcoming.......
Gorgeous place to sit and have a drink next to the canal. Staff are so lovely as well. Very clean + big car park.
Great pub. Food served in one area and bar also available with a 50p pool table ππΌ
Sunday 6th June 2021- Roast dinner lunch:
We booked a roast dinner for today here and wow, it was absolutely delicious, fresh and homely cooked...perfect 10/10 score!!!
Perfectly cooked, all delicious and so freshly made ....no frozen ingredients here at all!
It's the first time I just didn't have room for a pudding although did have a tasty coffee and wee malt afterwards to help with digestion of our Roast dinner lunch.
Thank you so much to Roy, (le chef) Clare, Torie and Kyle...you guys are absolute stars and we feel so at home here now and part of your lovely Navigation Inn familia..lol.
Unfortunately we have to chug off tomorrow but we'll be back again most definitely!
Stay safe, keep well and take care until we see you again at some point in the near future....
One of our best favourite pubs on the canals. A perfect 10/10 score....ππππ
Monday 31st May 2021 to Thursday 3rd June 2021:
Finally got back here again on various occasions as we met up with canal boat friends as well as our grown up kids too..
The exception this time was visiting from the nearby visitor moorings where we moored up on our narrowboat....
Fantastic food, great kept ale, good house Chardonnay, lovely atmosphere, outdoors garden and decking looking out onto the canal.
Thanks Roy, Clare and Torie for making us feel totally at home, welcomed and your cheerful friendly and smiling service was totally appreciated!
Until next time, stay safe and well....
We've driven past on numerous occasions as well as on the canal on our narrow boat and always wanted to venture into the Navigation Inn. Finally on a rather blustery day in October whilst driving through Gnosall yet again from our family in Stafford, we decided to pop in to have a drink. Even though the lunch service had finished, we were welcomed by the landlord. The wine was good and although no guest ales were on tap due to delivery, I had a Bank's amber ale which was good. We sat outside as we wanted to see the canal and must say, the beer garden is big and the 48 hour moorings for canal boaters is great; certainly give it another visit during spring or summer?
