My partner and I decided to have lunch here on the way back from the Jinny Ring. What a great decision we made!
We were welcomed in a warm and friendly way by all the staff, sat down straight away.
Special mention for the staff’s attention to detail at this very early point: I’m quite fussy about how I like my lager-shandy made. 80% lemonade and 20% lager. During the course of our our meal I ordered this twice, each time it was *perfect*. My partner ordered Stella Artois.
On to the food:
Starters:
My partner ordered the pate and caramelised onion chutney with toast. This was exceptional, the pate having a smokey depth of flavour almost along the lines of bacon. Truly wonderful!
I had the avocado, prawn and mango salad with a Thousand Island dressing. Equally top notch as with the pate!
Mains: we both had the roast beef and all the trimmings (it is a Sunday lunch after all!). This was also exceptional. Really very tasty and well presented food, all served with a smile and perfectly faultless service. The only slight criticism was the cauliflower cheese: definitely not enough cheese sauce, and it had a slight sweetish taste which did not complement the cauliflower (in our opinion, at least. But then, we all have different tastes and preferences!)
Dessert: we started out our meal with the intention of having dessert, but when it came to it we had eaten our fill so could not manage any more on this occasion. However, we will, without a shadow of doubt, be returning very soon and will certainly leave room for afters!
Overall: perfect place to eat, perfect staff with perfect food and drink: we definitely give this place 10/10!
Thank you to all the staff at the Navigation Inn for giving us a wonderful Sunday lunch!
Without doubt the best cuisine for miles around, delicious menu, Sunday roast to die for, deserts - wow - and not expensive. Hats off to Staff and Chef, appreciate all your hard, recent work maintaining a traditional rural heritage pub and raising the bar VERY high ;)
