Welcome

If you love the British pub, you will like this blog. Here I will review the pubs I drop into in my wanderings around my home region - urban, rural, posh, homely, fun pubs, restaurant pubs, and local backstreet pubs. I hope to encourage people to appreciate them.
I will score each pub out of five points each (30 points maximum) on its ambience, decor, service, whether it serves real ales, state of the toilets (but I can't vouch for the state of the gents because I don't use them!) and what extras it has - games, beer garden, newspapers, serves food, karaoke, quizzes, live music.
If after reading one of my reviews you decide to check out a pub, I hope you enjoy the experience. But bear in mind that I have only visited some of them once, and pubs and pub managers change. If the review needs updating, please leave a comment.
Ups and downs? Well, people drink when they're down. And they drink to celebrate, when they're feeling 'up'. Besides that, this is hill country. It's full of ups and downs.

The Navigation, Marple

 

The Navigation
9 Stockport Road
Marple SK6 6BD

TEL: 0161 427 3817

There has been a pub on the site, next to the Peak Forest canal, since 1790. The current pub is spacious with an open plan bar, tap room with white walls and a stone floor to the side of it, two lounges in tasteful cream and grey on the opposite side of the ground floor. Mainly a locals' pub but friendly.

UPDATE August 2026: Made a return visit and added 2 points for the decor and ambience because the place has been redecorated. The tap room is no longer at all dingy!

ambience - 4
decor - 4

service - 4

real ale - 2

features - 3
disco
karaoke
dog friendly

toilet - 3

Score 20 out of 30
