"This was our second trip to the Navigator, the previous having been about 10 months previous (our previous meal was disappointing but we wanted to give it another go). The service was good although it was a shame that we had not been put in the restaurant even though we had booked to eat. I thought the time it took for our drinks and food to arrive was a bit slow but I appreciate (at least for the drinks) that with COVID things are a bit more complicated. We all had starters and pizza mains. The starters were OK, nothing amazing but nothing to complain about. I thought the pizzas however were disappointing. The base was good and they were cooked well but it was completely let down by the fact that the tomato on the pizza was more like tomato paste rather than a nice pizza base sauce. Unfortunately this ruined the pizza but this should be a really easy fix. Unfortunately with the slow arrival of food etc and the governments 10pm restriction we did not have time to finish our food comfortably and we ended up having to put it in a box to take away. Unfortunately I will not be rushing back as although it is a closest pub to where we live I think I will walk the extra 5 mins to other pubs for better food."

"I ordered a ham mustard and sun-dried tomato bloomer. It arrived with no tomato. As the waitress had told us prior to ordering of a number of items that were not available due to no deliveries for the lock down I didn’t say anything as assumed this was the reason. When our plates were collected we were asked by another waitress if the food was ok. I made comment about the lack of tomato and how it would have been nice to have known before hand as I would have ordered something else. She went off and came back to advise she’d spoken to the chef who assured her 100% he’d put tomatoes in it. My response was I can assure you he didn’t and my friend also confirmed there was none. Again the waitress said the chef says he did, so he did. All but accusing me of lying. She was rude, unapologetic and her attitude was appalling. It was a shame as all the other staff were friendly and professional. There’s plenty of other pubs within that area . She and her attitude will certainly make me go elsewhere next time we are able to."
