As well as serving meals, Port Navas Yacht Club also invites visitors to partake in the old-fashioned activity of simply popping in for a drink and a chat. With an integrated bar area and quirky hotchpotch of bar seats and barrels, you can pull up a pew and peruse the selection of drinks behind the counter. On a sunny day, you can take your bevvy outside and bask under the sunshine, watching as boats slowly make their way up and down the river.

With opening hours varying with the seasons, give the restaurant a call to book yourself a table. If you are coming in by boat, you can also look forward to the added luxury of washing salt-kissed bodies in the club’s showers before sitting down for your meal!
