A PUB is giving away free gin in exchange for a peculiar vegetable.

The Outlook Greene King pub on Kings Road is offering a refreshing gin and tonic drink to all customers who come into the bar and present a stick of rhubarb.

That is not a typo, if you bring in a stick of rhubarb to the bar, you shall be rewarded with a G&T. Provided, of course, you show photo ID to prove you are above the legal drinking age.

Christopher King, general manager at the Outlook, said: “Everyone loves a gin and tonic on a British summer day, and there’s no denying a chilled glass that you haven’t had to pay for tastes even better.

“Rhubarb and ginger is the perfect flavour combination – the tartness of the rhubarb is complemented by the depth and spice of the ginger, and when combined with the botanicals within the gin, it makes for the perfect refresher to enjoy in the warm weather.

“We look forward to inviting local gin lovers to enjoy a taste of rhubarb goodness on the house this weekend.”
