The Red Lion retains much of the old tradition pub feel of the Georgian coaching inn that it once was. It serves Thwaites beers. There is outside seating by the road and a bowling green with seating around the back. The right hand door takes you The Vaults  while the left hand takes to a larger drinking area.  The bar is to the right on entry while there is a large seating area to the left and straight on is a small snug.

Stockton Heath is a suburb of Warrington nestling between the Manchester Ship canal (think man made river) and the Bridgewater canal (think narrow canal boats) a bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal separates it from the town of Warrington giving it a feel of having a small village centre. Stockton Heath is a thriving community of about 6,000, with gift shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. The village centre, Victoria Square, has five roads leading to it and 4 pubs on or just off of it.

Stockton health has easy access to both the M6 and the M56

 

The Mulberry Tree is a large pub on the square at the crossroads and so has substantial outside seating to watch the people and traffic go by. From the outside Initial impressions are of a TV laden sports bar, however, despite TVs the pub is much more than this. The right hand door takes you into The Vaults better known to pub goers as the bar. The left hand door is for The Lounge. This opens into a large attractive interior. There is a long bar with plenty of standing room and some large tables.  Beside the door  is attractive bay window seating. Directly opposite the bar are two sitting rooms .  Beyond the bar there are further smaller rooms, two to the right and one to the left. Thus the pub offers a variety of seating areas of different degrees of privacy. It can be hard to avoid being able to look at a TV screen.  Service during the week can get monopolised by The Vaults room.
