How rude is the Navi these days?


Recommended Posts

I was standing in the beer garden with a few older relatives of mine, when this lanky smartly dressed guy demanded to see my ID. Of course, I shown him. It was actually myself who got the round in, which I did explain.

For the following half hour before we made our way to the game, I was constantly being watched by bar staff and the same lanky guy who I believe might be a manager.

I won't be drinking there again, it takes ages to be served any way and the staff are just rude.

Loads, and loads of fans are complaining to me.

They seem very unreasonable and unpleasant now, I've had a couple of issues. When I tried to help John who runs The Pie, I had a box of his fanzine thrown at me. If I left them, they wouldn't store them safely and I risked letting him down by people being able to just take a copy. I ended up taking a large box and, attempted to sell the majority. I did what I could, I did explain that it's not mine and, they just didn't care.

Recently @magpiejue raised some concerns.

Earlier, I had three members of their staff looking and stirring at me. I wouldn't let them bother me, yet it did make me feel uncomfortable. I don't find the Navi to be all that professional, they've wasted my time in the past and gone against an agreement I struck with them.

I would rather drink and give my custom to the Embankment Pub - but I do like doing my rounds and speaking with people who unfortunately frequent the Navi.

I haven't had a drink in the Navi for years, mostly because it is busy. The Embankment is a much nicer place, their meals are good too.

I mostly go in the Broken Wheelbarrow to support the club.

The Navi wouldn't thrive without loyal Notts fans.

Only real problem with the Navi is that the waiting times pre and post match are horrendous.  Although I appreciate that they can't employ too many staff for an hour or so before and after the match, they could at least train/instruct the staff to pay attention to who is to be served next on the part of the bar they are responsible for. It's a lottery going up there when it's rammed, you can come away in 5 minutes or it could be 30, depending on who the bar people deem is next.

Nobody goes in the beer garden when it’s cold, they had an massive umbrella that turned inside out or would come crashing down. They need something more secure, as allowing customers go out regardless of rain or wind, would reduce the jammed pub.

They need heaters outside, and proper cover.

Otherwise, I have no issue.
