GIN and cake lovers are in for a real treat as an Andover pub is offering a free tipple.

Anton Arms in Salisbury Road is offering a free gin and tonic for anyone who brings a slice of cake into the pub today (November 14).

The novel idea is part of its launch of Mrs Cuthbert’s traditional dessert-inspired gin liqueurs.

Clare Meadowcroft, general manager at the Anton Arms, 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 Anton Arms pub on Wednesday, November 14 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.
