The Navigation on the Rush bearing festival is absolutely packed. Staff work fast and friendly and courteously despite huge pressures and a multitude of thirsty customers.
The pub itself has a quite traditional interior and is tucked away down a small road off the beaten track. But it’s worth making a detour.
Even better is making the short walk along the canal from the canal basin.

Sunday lunch wasn’t unpleasant and the Yorkshire pudding was so good but 1 carrot ,1 piece of parsnip,1 roast potato and literally 1/2 a tablespoon off mash just doesn’t justify the price ,Also £4 extra for a small ramekin of cauliflower cheese and £4 for 3 pigs in blankets seem a lot when usually it comes with the meal . overall disappointed.
