There’s nothing sweeter than a freebie, and a Carlisle pub is set to prove the point next Wednesday by giving away a free gin and tonic for very unusual currency – cake.
The Gosling Bridge Inn on Kingstown Road is celebrating the introduction of Mrs Cuthbert’s traditional dessert-inspired gin liqueurs by offering a flavoured gin and tonic for anyone who brings a slice of cake into pub on Wednesday.
Sweet-toothed guests will be able to provide a range of baked treats to qualify for the giveaway, including Victoria sponge, cupcakes, slices and cake bars.
Barbara Monaghan, general manager at the Gosling Bridge Inn, said: “The trend for flavoured gins is huge at the moment. 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 baking.
