Hi, I took over the Navigation Inn in November 2011, reviews before this date should be ignored, not sure why Hairyhelmet posted review in April 2013, pub has been refurbished has had new toilets, and now has a function room available for hire, also has beer garden with children's play area with bouncy castle and climbing frame with slide. We have 1 cask ale, and a large selection of lagers, cider,smooth bitter & bottled beers & ciders.
The pub also offers Bed & Breakfast in Newley refurbished rooms.

God almighty! HOW! WHY! WHAT IS IT?
Is it a pub? Is it a hotel? NO, it's a shit hole!

I wish that I hadn�t have bothered. As a previous reviewer says, it has a nice exterior, but the moral is never judge a book by its cover.
Several handpumps on the bar, but only 2 were clipped � Hobgoblin and Pedigree. The Pedigree was rubbish and at �2.80 a pint for an out of town pub, it is an absolute rip off.
The beer lines (at least for the Pedigree) are in desperate need to be properly cleaned and sterilized.
Add to that an oriental guy openly trying to sell pirate pornographic videos to customers and the picture of a pub in terminal decline is complete �

Sadly the landlords have changed and despite a misleading sign saying "real ale now on" and "broadise sold here" they had four hand pumps all empty and "don't do real ale" nor "any food".
They did threaten to put a Pedigree on but didn't know when!
Shame, the pub has descended into obscurity again and charges �4 for parking for the football. Still the shandy drinkers probably won't mind with the array of nitro keg lager.

Does a very nice burger and homemade chips for �2.50.
Has some real ales (but none for about 3 months now) including TT Landlord, Adnams Broadside and Hobgoblin.
Nice exterior but in a lousy location except for match days when the away fans going to Derby County are in. Depending on who the team is, it can get very busy.
Friendly staff on the most part
