Built in 1806 to slake the thirst of navvies cutting the nearby Standedge Tunnel, this stone pub comprises an open-plan bar and an L-shaped interior. Family-run, the landlady has racked up 20 years in charge. It has a justified reputation for superb freshly-prepared meals and an extensive menu. Curries are particularly good. Booking online is recommended. The Navi is popular with walkers, canal boaters and families. The colourful Saddleworth Rushcart festival in August always stops here
