The Heaton is a well‑loved pub and restaurant on 474 Didsbury Road in Heaton Mersey, Stockport SK4 3BS, sitting in one of the four Heatons — a residential suburb with close links to Manchester and a strong community feel. The building has roots going back decades, originally known under earlier names such as the Frog & Railway before being acquired and refurbished by JW Lees in 2018, giving it a refreshed identity as a modern local hub in the heart of Heaton Mersey’s high street. It’s become a familiar meeting point for locals, families and commuters, blending traditional pub culture with a community‑oriented vibe in an area known for its gardens, independent shops and suburban charm.
