Free gin in exchange for cake at The Spyglass & Kettle, Gillingham

A pub is giving away gin today to celebrate the launch of a new liqueur.

The Spyglass & Kettle, Gillingham, is offering punters a free gin and tonic in exchange for an unusual currency — cake.

The Greene King pub's quirky offer marks the arrival of four new Mrs Cuthbert’s traditional dessert-inspired gin liqueurs.

The Spyglass & Kettle on Woodside is celebrating the introduction of Mrs Cuthbert’s traditional dessert-inspired gin liqueurs by offering a delicious flavoured gin and tonic for anyone who brings a slice of cake into pub.

Sweet-toothed guests will be able to provide a range of baked treats to qualify for the giveaway, from Victoria sponges to cupcakes.

The new range of liqueurs available at the Woodside venue includes British Victoria Sponge, Blueberry Muffin, Rhubarb and Custard Crumble abd Passionfruit Pavlova, which is only available at Greene King establishments.

General manager Kieran Meehan said: “The trend for flavoured gins is huge at the moment, and what better way to enjoy iconic British flavours than with a free glass of dessert-inspired gin and tonic?

“Mrs Cuthbert’s dessert-infused gin liqueurs are inspired by 1940s home-baking, with fun and nostalgic flavours that make a refreshing alternative to traditional gin and tonic – we’re sure our guests will love them.

“We look forward to welcoming locals in for a mid-week treat they don’t have to pay for – it really is the icing on the cake!”

To redeem the unconventional offer, guests will have to visit the Spyglass & Kettle pub today (Wednesday) and show a slice of cake at the bar for a free Mrs Cuthbert’s Victoria Sponge Cake gin liqueur and tonic.

Any guests wanting to try another flavour can bring in a muffin, a crumble or a pavlova instead, in exchange for the corresponding flavoured gin and tonic.

There is one drink permitted per person and guests will need to be quick to get hold of one, as the offer is only available while stocks last.

The offer is also available at other Greene King pubs. To find your nearest, click here.
