The pub, formerly known as The Trent Navigation and The Navigation Inn, takes its name from Trent Lock. As well as marking the point where the River Trent and River Soar meet with the beginning of the Erewash canal, the lock sits on the border of three counties: Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

There's no shortage of things to do in and around Sawley, on both land and water. Cycling and walking in the Trent Valley Way or on the 'Big Track', boating at the marina, or maybe some wildlife spotting at the nearby Attenborough Nature Reserve? Plenty of activities to work up a healthy appetite, making The Trent Lock the perfect place to refuel and refresh.

There’s always a great reason to visit your local Vintage Inn. Throughout the week we run Fixed Price Lunch and Dinner menus, and as a midweek treat you can enjoy Pie Wednesdays!
