The bar is very much the centre of the establishment, local villagers and visitors alike enjoy the warm atmosphere, fine ales and friendly banter. Children are welcome in all areas with the exception of the main bar - there is a children's playground for the kids to enjoy, whilst you enjoy a decent pint.
The Navigation Inn is listed in most good beer guides, and is quoted in the CAMRA guide as an ''excellent pub''. Around seventy guest ales are hosted annually, ensuring that there is always something different to whet your appetite.
