The owner of a canalside pub in Lapworth is looking for a new landlord to take over and manage to the venue.

Pub partner Stonegate Group is hunting for someone to run The Navigation Inn on Old Warwick Road.

Sited next to the Grand Union Canal, the pub is available for rent for £55,000 per year.

The Stonegate website said: "The Navigation Inn is an attractive traditional country pub in Warwickshire, taking pride in their great quality ales, varied wines and fresh home cooked food.

"To the side, there is a tarmac car park with space for 60+ vehicles whilst to the rear there is a raised, paved, covered patio, a magnificent canal side, grassed beer garden and adjacent field.

"The pub currently offers ample space for private events; from the snug that can offer space for 27 covers, in a more relaxed environment, to the garden, that is directly on the Grand Union canal offering a picturesque setting to enhance the event.

"We are currently seeking an experienced publican to continue the success of this beautiful pub and continuing to develop its reputation within its local area."

Stonegate also said it would listen to offers for a free of tie lease.

The Navigation Inn also includes three bedrooms, kitchen, living room (currently used as an office) and a bathroom for the tenants.

Regional manager Matthew said: "We are proud to offer this well-presented pub and restaurant to market.

"Our ideal publican will have experience of running similar establishments and be able to deliver a high-quality menu and invest in vital areas of the business.

"I have been successfully working with publicans and developing strong food led offers at unbranded destination businesses for over 20 years.

"I can help support you grow your business through industry accreditations, knowledge to help you drive sales, food safety standards, menu development feedback and wet sales category management.

"I am also here to support you across many areas of your business, encouraging and guiding you along the way."
