About The Navigator Whitehaven - Bar & Kitchen

The Navigator is a contemporary bar and kitchen at 11 and 12 Market Place in the centre of Whitehaven. Opened in 2026, it has transformed the former Number 11 premises into a modern restaurant and drinks venue with a warm, rustic nautical theme. Food is built around generously filled burgers, with menu names including the Explorers Feast and Aussie Hog. The wider selection includes loaded fries, nachos, starters, sides, desserts and sharing boards designed for two. Menus and specials can change, so the latest version should be checked through the restaurant's official social channels before visiting. The drinks offer is an important part of the experience, with cocktails, beer and sharing drinks served across the main bar and separate walk-in cocktail lounge areas. The venue also promotes acoustic entertainment and special events at selected times.

Tables for food in the main bar can be reserved online, while customers visiting the cocktail lounges can usually walk in. Booking is sensible for popular Friday and Saturday periods, particularly for larger groups. The currently advertised regular service is Thursday, Friday and Saturday from noon until 11pm. Opening days, kitchen times and event arrangements may change, so check the official Facebook or Instagram page before making a special journey. Contact the venue in advance to discuss allergens, dietary needs, group bookings or specific accessibility requirements.
