Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Anchor, a bustling gastropub in Whitby, needed to streamline its bar service to cope with the summer tourist rush. Their collection of mismatched, flimsy corkscrews was causing delays and frustration for both staff and customers.
"We equipped all our bar and floor staff with the Beaumont double reach corkscrew and the difference was immediate. They're quick, they're tough, and they just work. No more broken corks or fumbling around during a packed service – it's made our wine service far more professional."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The upgrade led to a measurable improvement in service efficiency, cutting average bottle opening time by over 30% during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Unfold the corkscrew, lever, and foil cutter before first use.
- The foil cutter is a small, serrated blade; handle with care.
- Practise the two-step lever action on a spare bottle to get a feel for it.
- Ensure the 'worm' (the spiral) is straight and undamaged.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down with a damp cloth after each shift to remove spills.
- Avoid putting it through a dishwasher, as this can dull the blade and damage the joints.
- Check the hinge pins occasionally to ensure they remain tight.
- Store in a dry place to prevent any potential rusting on the steel components.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is a 'double reach' or 'double lever' corkscrew?
A: It's a design featuring a hinged, two-step lever. This provides better leverage to remove a cork smoothly in two easy stages, preventing breakage.
Q: Is the foil cutter easy to use?
A: Yes, it's a small, serrated blade designed to cut the foil cap on a wine bottle with a simple turn of the wrist.
Q: Is this suitable for synthetic or plastic corks?
A: Absolutely. The strong steel 'worm' and double-lever action work effectively on natural, composite, and synthetic corks.
Q: How do I clean the Beaumont black corkscrew?
A: Simply wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth. We advise against submerging it or putting it in a commercial dishwasher to protect the joints and finish.
Q: Is the black finish durable?
A: The finish is designed for commercial use, but like any coated tool, it may show signs of wear over time with heavy, repeated use.
Q: Is it heavy to carry in a pocket all night?
A: No, it's specifically designed to be lightweight and compact, making it comfortable for staff to carry throughout a long shift.
Q: Can the 'worm' (the spiral part) be replaced?

Q: Is this a good option for home use as well?
A: While designed for commercial durability, its ease of use and reliability make it an excellent, long-lasting choice for any home bar.
The Beaumont Promise: Reliability Behind the Bar
Choosing Beaumont for your barware isn't just about buying a tool; it's an investment in operational smoothness. For decades, Beaumont has been a cornerstone of the UK hospitality industry, known for producing equipment that prioritises function and durability over fleeting trends. This commercial double reach corkscrew is a perfect example of that philosophy. It's built on the understanding that in a busy pub or restaurant, you need tools that work first-time, every-time. The long-term value comes from not having to replace flimsy tools every few months, and the confidence your staff gain from using professional-grade equipment. This focus on no-nonsense reliability is why bartenders and managers continue to trust the Beaumont name for the essential items that keep their service flowing.
Explore more from BeaumontHow a Double Lever Corkscrew Makes Life Easier
Ever seen a bartender struggle to pull a cork out in one go? The 'double lever' or 'double reach' system is designed to prevent exactly that. Think of it like using a car jack – you wouldn't try to lift a car in one giant heave. Instead, you use leverage in stages. This corkscrew works the same way. The first notch on the lever rests on the bottle lip for the initial pull, lifting the cork halfway. Then, you simply switch to the second, lower notch to pull it the rest of the way out. This two-step process gives you massive mechanical advantage, making the pull feel effortless and keeping the cork intact every time.
