A STOCKTON Heath pub has been shortlisted by its brewers for its high level of customer experience.

The Red Lion Inn, on London Road, is a finalist in the Best Customer Experience category of the 2008 Shine Awards that acknowledges the best individuals within Punch Tavern's company.

Over the next few weeks, The Red Lion Inn will be visited by the organisation's officials.

Representatives from the Red Lion Inn will then attend an awards lunch in April at Liverpool Town Hall where finalists and an overall regional champion will be announced.
