ANSWER

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.
