We are also open to a short term tenancy for this site** The Navigation is a traditional community pub half a mile from the centre of Ripon and en route to the racecourse. It has an open layout with a carpeted lounge area and a pub game section with hard flooring, a darts board and a pool table. The pub's exterior contains benched garden areas to the front and side, providing extra covers for trade on a warm, summer day. The Navigation was extensively refurbished to include new living accommodation in December 2019. Previous years, the pub has been successful on just wet takings, however it does include a catering kitchen, which can be utilised for further trade.  Ever dreamt of being your own boss, running a thriving pub, and shaping a vibrant community hub?

Regional Manager's Thoughts The Navigation Inn represents a fantastic opportunity to cater for locals, tourists and race-goers. This pub has a fantastic opportunity to gain a large footfall of customers. I am seeking an enthusiastic publican who can develop the trade, both wet and food, embrace the local community and become a hub for sports teams and events. Surrounding Area Ripon is a cathedral city, located in the Borough of Harrogate, the city is known for the Ripon Cathedral and the Ripon racecourse. The immediate area around the Navigation is residential, which provides a good source of local trade from the surrounding community. There are offices and businesses within a few hundred yards and Ripon Centre is just a few minutes’ walk away. Its proximity to the racecourse results in brilliant trade on race day.
