One Bexley pub is looking to treat locals to some free booze in exchange for a very...unusual currency.

The Yacht in Long Lane is celebrating the launch 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 on Wednesday 14 November.

Sweet-toothed guests will be able to provide a range of baked treats to qualify for the giveaway, including traditional Victoria sponge, cupcakes, slices and cake bars.

As well the quintessentially British Victoria Sponge, the pub will also be offering Blueberry Muffin, Rhubarb and Custard Crumble, and a bespoke flavour exclusively produced for Greene King pubs, a Passionfruit Pavlova gin.

General manager at The Yacht, Jason Togwell 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!"

“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!" said Jason.

To redeem the unconventional offer, guests will have to visit the Yacht pub on Wednesday 14 November 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.tonic!
