A BARMAID has celebrated 30 years of pulling pints to the punters of Stockton Heath.

Denise Grainger has been working for the Spirit Pub Company since 1983 and spent 25 of those years behind the bar at The Mulberry Tree, on Grappenhall Road, Stockton Heath.

The 69-year-old, who has lived in Stockton Heath all her life, said: “I feel very proud to be part of The Mulberry Tree Inn. I’ve seen the pub grow and change with the times but always remain a central hub for the community at it’s heart and that is why I love working here so much.”
