An aptly named pub, situated on an island between River Calder & Calder & Hebble Navigation. This historic 2-roomed pub attracts towpath dog walkers, boaters and families with small children who enjoy outdoor playground with bouncy castle, as well as indoor attractions in the non-smoking family room. Boats can be moored in front of the pub. Hours shown are those permitted by the pub's licence and off-season and midweek pub may be closed in afternoon.
It's also just a short walk from Calder Vale on the other bank of the river via an interesting tubular footbridge. Offers a changing guesr cask ale.
Nice food. Considering it was quiet customer-wise and the ordering and payment was via an app, the service was not the quickest. When it is busy, I suggest ordering ahead! Once we were served, the young woman was pleasant and courteous and ensured we had all we needed. Loved the choice of a dog friendly dish on the menu.
Love this place. Great atmosphere lovely food. Great for a quick drink little flat walk. Then back for more drinks and food. Just remember to register your car number plate when you arrive.
Great pub. Nice find. By canal, has a nice play area for kids, deceptively large compared to what it seems from outside. Friendly service. Busy but not too busy. Food was good but bit of a wait but worth it. Drinks good big pricey considering it's out in sticks in wakey. They also had good options for kids meals and Ice cream. Definitely worth it though. 3 drinks and a meal for 2 and a child £60. Food was decent sized portion though.
We stopped off for a bite and pint during our Sunday paddle. We had chip butties that were pretty good to be honest. I think the chips were double cooked making them crispy and tasty. The staff were polite and prompt and up for light hearted, fun banter.
It was a very sunny day and the Navigation Inn has quite a sizeable terrace with children's play area adjoining the canal. Didn't actually go inside to sit but it looked very inviting. Certainly an ideal stop for canal boats with visitor moorings with rings. They have quite an expansive food menu with last orders about 8pm.
