The White Lion Coaching House

You're stepping into proper old Stockport when you walk through The White Lion's doors on Great Underbank. This isn't some tarted-up gastropub trying too hard—it's a proper coaching house with the bones to prove it, the kind of place where locals actually drink rather than snap photos. The rooms have that lived-in warmth you get from centuries of people settling in with a pint, and the kind of staff who remember your order. It's become a reliable spot for anyone in town who wants good ale, honest pub food, and a bit of character that doesn't need explaining.
