Pubs to offer a free Gin and Tonic this Wednesday

Gin

A free gin and tonic is on offer at two pubs in the borough on Wednesday, November 14

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

WOKINGHAM borough gin lovers can have their cake and eat it while enjoying a tasty tipple.

Two local pubs are taking part in a sweet-toothed treat which features the newly launched Mrs Cuthbert’s traditional dessert-inspired gins.

Each is flavoured with different desserts including the quintessentially British Victoria Sponge, Blueberry Muffin, Rhubarb and Custard Crumble as well as a bespoke flavour exclusively produced for Greene King pubs, a Passionfruit Pavlova gin.

And all liqueur lovers need do to claim a free drink is to bring in a slice of cake and show it to staff in any participating pub on Wednesday November 14.

The two local pubs taking part are the Wee Waif in Charvil and the Bull and Chequers in Woodley.

And the day is extra special for The Wee Waif as it will be its first day open following a refurbishment.

Carly Salisbury, general manager at The Wee Waif, 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!”

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. (Terms and conditions apply, participating pubs only, promotion not available in Scotland.)
