Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Griffin's Head, a bustling gastropub in Shrewsbury, needed to replace its collection of mismatched and failing corkscrews that were slowing down service and causing frustration for staff during peak hours.
"We were constantly dealing with broken corks and flimsy openers. We switched the whole team over to the Beaumont 3534s and the difference was immediate. They just work, every single time. Service is smoother and the staff are happier."
Michael Davies – Bar Manager
The switch resulted in a noticeable reduction in wine service time per table and virtually eliminated cork-related issues, improving workflow during their busiest weekend shifts.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unfold the corkscrew, lever, and foil cutter to ensure all parts move freely.
- Your corkscrew is ready for immediate use – no assembly required!
- Familiarise yourself with the two-step hinge to get a feel for the action before your first use.
Keeping It Going
- After use, wipe down with a damp cloth to remove any wine residue or debris.
- Occasionally check that the joints and hinges are free of dirt for smooth operation.
- Avoid putting it in a dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the joints and finish.
- Ensure the 'worm' (the screw part) is clean and dry before folding away to prevent corrosion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is a 'waiter's friend' corkscrew?
A: It's a compact, foldable corkscrew that includes a foil cutter and a lever that rests on the lip of the bottle for easy extraction, designed for hospitality professionals.
Q: Is this professional double reach corkscrew suitable for older, more fragile corks?
A: Yes, the two-step lever system provides excellent control, allowing for a gentle and straight pull that is less likely to break a fragile cork than a simple T-bar corkscrew.
Q: Can it open beer bottles as well?
A: Absolutely. The end of the lever arm is designed as a crown cap opener for beer and soda bottles.
Q: How do I use the foil cutter?
A: Simply unfold the small serrated blade, hold it against the top of the bottle, and rotate the bottle once or twice to cut the foil cleanly before removing it.
Q: Is the 'worm' or screw coated?
A: Yes, the worm has a non-stick coating which helps it glide into the cork smoothly with minimal friction or crumbling.
Q: How heavy is it to carry in an apron pocket all night?
A: It's very lightweight, weighing only 70 grams, so you'll barely notice it in your pocket during a long shift.
Q: Will this work on synthetic corks?
A: Yes, the sharp worm and strong lever action are very effective at removing tight-fitting synthetic corks.
Q: How do I clean it properly?
A: The best way is to wipe it with a clean, damp cloth after service. Avoid the dishwasher to preserve the moving parts.

Explore more from BeaumontWhy a Double-Lever System Makes All the Difference
Ever seen a bartender open a wine bottle in one fluid, effortless motion? The secret is often a commercial double lever corkscrew. But what does that actually mean? Think of it like a mini car jack for corks. Instead of trying to yank the cork out in one go, which requires a lot of force and can cause it to snap, the double-lever system breaks the job into two easier parts.
First, you use the top lever, resting it on the lip of the bottle to pull the cork halfway out. Then, you switch to the second, lower lever to smoothly extract the rest. This two-stage process gives you much better leverage and control, ensuring the cork comes out straight and intact, even if it's a bit stubborn. It’s a simple piece of engineering that makes the job faster, easier, and far more professional.
