The Navigation Inn Barrow Upon Soar

Staying in a cottage just 2 minutes walk from the 'Navi ', we couldn 't resist having a couple of meals there. Food very good, lager, however, a tad pricey.

We had pre-ordered and arrived with a group of 12 people who had just been on a canal boat. The service was fantastic and all of our food requests were accommodated. They even provided us with a private room for our group.

I stopped by for a quick bite to eat while out for a walk. Being solo, it can sometimes be quite daunting but the welcome I received was lovely. I'm not a roast fan. I know. How can you not like a roast? It was pleasing to see other options available. The scampi basket was well presented and plentiful. A nice glass of white wine to go with it too. I'll be back.

Been here a couple of times for Sunday roast and always had a great experience. The food is delicious, varied drinks choices and friendly service. The prices are like everywhere else, post-pandemic, unfortunately. The only way to avoid that is not go anywhere, I find.. The pub itself looks like it has a lot of history and character. I have nothing but good things to say!

Don't know what everyone else is complaining about this seemed fine to me. I admit it's expensive by pre pandemic standards for the Midlands but they're completely normal for a village pub in 2023 to the eyes of this southerner. The beer was excellent, the staff friendly, the garden compact but scenic, and the soup exactly what I was looking for.
