The Navigation, Thrupp Wharf

The Navigation, Thrupp Wharf Overlooking the Grand Union Canal, The Navigation Inn offers stunning waterside views and delicious mediterranean inspired cuisine.
(1949)

The Navigation is aptly named, as we sit right on the Grand Union Canal, which points the way to London from the Midlands. Things have changed a bit since 1876, when we were surrounded by a wharf yard, corn warehouses, a coach house and numerous other buildings – but there’s still plenty of space for travellers in our large car park and the welcome is just as warm as it was back then. Our garden is a lovely spot to enjoy a few drinks, as you admire our huge old willow tree. Or why not indulge in some alfresco dining on our deck, which overlooks the canal and surrounding countryside? Our carefully considered food menu is as fresh, characterful and well-sourced as we can possibly make it – and we really care about presentation, too.
