VISITORS to a Bury pub will be treated to a new dessert-inspired gin and tonic this week in exchange for a slice of cake or pudding.

The Wellington in Bolton Road is celebrating the introduction of four new Mrs Cuthbert’s gin liqueur flavours, created by The Hellshire Club.

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

The Greene King pub will begin offering the quintessentially British Victoria Sponge, Blueberry Muffin, Rhubarb and Custard Crumble, and a Passionfruit Pavlova gin.

To redeem a free Mrs Cuthbert’s Victoria Sponge Cake gin liqueur and tonic, guests will need to present a slice of cake at the bar.

If visitors would prefer to try another tipple, they are invited to bring in a muffin, a crumble, or pavlova, in exchange for the corresponding flavoured gin and tonic.

Daniel Schofield, general manager at The Wellington, 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 only one drink permitted per person and the offer is only available while stocks last on Wednesday.
