Inside the impossibly cool Lake District cocktail bar run by a man with Michelin-star experience
"We originally opened as a wine bar serving food, but the cocktails have definitely taken over, Lago co-owner Gareth Newton says, with a wry smile. The plan was to offer something tourist mecca Bowness-on-Windermere did not already have, in Lago's case, organic, wines and charcuterie, cheese and meat boards, all as locally-sourced as possible.
"Bowness can be quite unpredictable," Gareth, who opened Lago in July 2022, told LancsLive. "It can be really quiet and we shut up early but then other nights it can get full in minutes.. It massively depends on the weather. Gareth, a dad of two, added: "I've worked with some top chefs, Simon is great to work for, it was amazing but it was time to go out on my own [so to speak]."
An example of that 'twist' is rum in a pornstar martini, served with a caramelised passionfruit which is scooped out with a spoon. Or there's Gareth's take on the sour, with his made from spiced pear amaretto, egg white, fresh lime, pear juice and agave and it "tastes and smells just like winter".
