The Navigation Inn

Outdoor seating, right on the river soar. Canoes/kayaks can be moored here. Delicious roasts with brilliant vegan option, and a good selection of beers/ales. A must visit.

The bridge crosses the River Soar navigation. Located only a stone's throw from the bridge is the Soar Bridge Inn, a traditional pub popular with boaters and walkers attracted by the picturesque scene.
