£4.73(£5.68 inc VAT)
The Beaumont Waiter's Friend is a professional-grade corkscrew designed for front-of-house wine service. Constructed from stainless steel with a gold-plated finish, it combines reliable everyday functionality with a presentation that sits comfortably in smarter dining and bar environments. The tool folds compactly into a pocket or apron pouch and opens out to reveal a foil cutter, a classic bottle cap opener, and a 5-turn helix corkscrew — everything a server needs to open wine and beer bottles efficiently at the table or behind the bar.
The double-hinged arm is the practical detail that matters most in service. It allows the cork to be extracted in two stages — the first notch draws the cork partway, the second gives additional leverage to remove it cleanly without risk of breakage or spillage. For busy service periods where bottles are being opened in quick succession, this reduces the effort and time involved compared with single-hinge alternatives.
- Stainless steel construction with gold-plated finish for a polished front-of-house appearance
- Double-hinged arm supports controlled two-stage cork extraction
- Fold-out foil cutter removes capsules cleanly before pouring
- 5-turn helix provides secure grip on both natural and synthetic corks
- Compact folded profile fits neatly into a server's pocket or apron
This model is well suited to restaurants, wine bars, and hotel dining operations where presentation matters alongside practicality. It is a straightforward, dependable tool rather than a high-volume production item, so it is best thought of as a per-server carry rather than a shared bar tool. If you are equipping a large team or a high-turnover bar, it is worth considering how many units you need to keep service running smoothly at peak times.
If you would like guidance on quantities or whether this finish is the right fit for your front-of-house setup, the team is happy to help.
£1.81(£2.17 inc VAT)
The Beaumont cast metal bottle opener is a straightforward, wall-mounted bar tool designed for consistent, reliable use in commercial bar environments. It fixes directly to a wall or upstand via two mounting holes positioned at the top and bottom of the unit, giving it a stable, secure footing that holds firm through repeated use during busy service periods.
Cast metal construction gives this opener the durability you'd expect for a bar tool that may be used dozens or hundreds of times each shift. It handles standard crown caps cleanly and without the flex or wear you'd see in lighter pressed-steel alternatives. Having it fixed in a permanent position on the bar means staff aren't hunting for a loose opener mid-service — a small detail that makes a consistent difference when the bar is busy.
- Wall-mounted design keeps the opener accessible and in a fixed location throughout service
- Dual mounting holes top and bottom provide a stable, secure fixing even under heavy repetitive use
- Cast metal build offers greater durability than pressed or stamped alternatives
- Compact footprint suits tight bar counters and back-bar upstands
- Simple to keep clean and hygienic as part of routine bar maintenance
Installation is straightforward — two fixing points, suitable for most wall surfaces or timber upstands commonly found in licensed premises. There are no electrical or utility requirements. Placement is worth a moment's thought: mounting at a comfortable working height for the majority of bar staff will make the most difference to speed of service.
This opener is well suited to pubs, bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues where bottled drinks are a regular part of service. For very high-volume sites with multiple service points, fitting one opener per station is often worthwhile. If you're unsure which configuration suits your bar setup, the team are happy to help.
£2.14(£2.57 inc VAT)
The Olympia Waiter's Friend is a standard two-stage lever corkscrew of the type relied upon across bar and restaurant service the world over. It combines a worm screw, a foil cutter, and a bottle opener in a single pocket-sized tool, giving service staff everything needed to open wine and other bottled drinks at the table or behind the bar without reaching for separate equipment.
In a busy service environment, consistency matters. The two-stage lever mechanism is designed to extract corks cleanly and steadily, reducing the risk of cork breakage or fragmentation — both of which slow service and can affect the presentation of the wine. Staff who are comfortable with this style of opener will find it operates exactly as expected, with no learning curve.
- Two-stage lever action for controlled, clean cork extraction
- Integrated foil cutter removes capsules quickly before opening
- Bottle opener adds versatility for beer and other capped bottles
- Compact enough to carry in a waiter's apron pocket throughout service
- Straightforward construction with no moving parts prone to failure
There are no installation or power requirements — this is a hand tool. It is worth considering that at this level of the range the build is functional rather than premium; for venues where front-of-house presentation and durability under very heavy daily use are priorities, a heavier-duty or stainless-finished alternative may be worth considering. For moderate covers and general bar use, this corkscrew is a practical, cost-effective choice to keep in stock.
Well suited to restaurants, pubs, hotels, and catering operations needing reliable, affordable wine service tools for front-of-house staff. If you are equipping a larger team or want guidance on the right specification for your operation, the team is happy to help.
£2.73(£3.28 inc VAT)
These Beaumont ice tongs are a straightforward, well-made bar tool designed for everyday use behind a commercial bar. Constructed from stainless steel with a copper-plated finish, they offer a degree of visual refinement that suits front-of-house service without compromising practicality. The serrated teeth provide a reliable grip on ice cubes and chunks, reducing the chance of fumbling during busy service periods.
For bar use, the ability to handle ice cleanly and quickly matters more than it might appear. A tong that slips or lacks grip slows service and risks hygiene, particularly during peak demand. The serrated jaw on these tongs addresses that directly, giving staff a secure hold without requiring excessive force.
- Copper-plated finish suits cocktail bars and premium front-of-house settings
- Serrated teeth grip ice reliably, reducing slip during service
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in a wet bar environment
- Compact and lightweight — easy to store in an ice bucket or bar station
- Simple to wipe clean or run through a glasswasher
There are no installation requirements here — these tongs are ready to use straight away. They are equally at home in a hotel bar, restaurant, cocktail venue, or events catering setup. For very high-volume operations handling ice continuously across multiple stations, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge option would better suit the workload.
If you are equipping a new bar or refreshing your smallwares and want a steer on what works well together in practice, the team is happy to help.
£2.01(£2.41 inc VAT)
These copper-plated ice tongs from Olympia are a compact, practical bar accessory designed for serving individual ice cubes cleanly and efficiently. The spring-loaded jaw design makes single-cube handling straightforward, and the overall size sits comfortably in hand during busy service.
In bar environments, presentation matters alongside function. The copper finish gives these tongs a warm, classic aesthetic that works well alongside copper ice buckets and cocktail bar setups where a cohesive look is part of the customer experience. They are equally at home on a buffet drinks station or a hotel bar where attention to detail at the point of service is expected.
- Compact jaw profile for accurate, single-cube selection
- Copper-plated finish suits retro and classic bar aesthetics
- Lightweight and easy to handle during continuous service
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Small footprint — easy to store or lay beside an ice bucket
These tongs are best suited to lower-volume bar settings, hotel bars, cocktail counters, and buffet drink stations where presentation and practicality are both priorities. For very high-throughput ice service, a heavier or longer-handled model may offer better ergonomics over extended periods.
If you are equipping a bar or buffet station and want to make sure you have the right tools for your service style, we are happy to help you put together the right setup.
£2.88(£3.46 inc VAT)
The Pujadas 185mm ice tongs are a practical stainless steel serving tool designed for bar and front-of-house use. Commonly used for handling ice, garnishes, sliced fruit, and small pastries, they offer a clean, hygienic alternative to bare-hand contact during service.
The scalloped ends provide a reliable grip on ice cubes and other slippery items, which matters when speed and presentation both count during a busy service period. The handle length keeps hands clear of the contents being served, which supports basic hygiene practice at the bar or on the pass.
- Stainless steel construction holds up well to repeated washing and daily commercial use
- Scalloped grip ends reduce the chance of dropping ice or garnishes mid-service
- Handle length maintains hygienic separation between hand and product
- Suitable for bar service, buffet lines, and self-service stations
- Compact size fits comfortably in standard bar setups without taking up unnecessary space
These tongs are well suited to cocktail bars, hotel bars, café counters, and buffet stations where a tidy, consistent presentation is expected. They are a standard piece of kit rather than a high-throughput tool, so for very high-volume venues handling large quantities of ice continuously, a heavier or larger tong may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether these are the right fit for your service style or setup, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to point you in the right direction.
£4.18(£5.02 inc VAT)
This bottle cap catcher from Beaumont is a simple, practical accessory designed to work alongside their wall-mounted beer bottle openers. Rather than leaving caps to scatter across the bar surface or fall to the floor, the catcher mounts directly beneath the opener and collects caps as they're removed, keeping the bar area tidy during service.
In a busy bar environment, small details like this make a genuine difference to workflow. A dedicated cap catcher means staff aren't stopping to clear the counter between rounds, and the risk of caps ending up in drip trays or on the floor is reduced. It's a lightweight plastic unit, straightforward to empty and wipe clean at the end of a shift.
- Keeps bar surfaces clear of loose bottle caps during service
- Lightweight plastic construction, easy to remove and empty
- Designed to complement Beaumont wall-mounted bottle openers
- Simple to wipe clean as part of a routine bar close-down
It's worth confirming compatibility before ordering — this catcher is designed for use with Beaumont's wall mount opener range, and the opener itself is sold separately. If you're unsure which components work together for your bar setup, the team are happy to point you in the right direction.
£2.73(£3.28 inc VAT)
These Beaumont ice tongs are a straightforward, well-made bar tool designed for everyday use at a professional bar counter. Constructed from stainless steel with a gold-plated finish, they offer a smarter presentation than standard utility tongs without compromising on function. The serrated teeth provide a reliable grip on ice cubes and chips, reducing fumbling during service and keeping the hygiene barrier between hand and ice that any professional bar environment requires.
In a busy bar setting, small tools matter more than they might seem. A pair of tongs that grips cleanly and feels balanced in the hand keeps service moving, particularly during peak periods when speed and presentation both count. The gold finish suits venues where bar aesthetics are part of the guest experience — hotel bars, cocktail lounges, and restaurant bars are the natural home for a tool like this.
- Serrated teeth grip ice cleanly, reducing drops during service
- Gold-plated finish suits premium bar presentation
- Stainless steel construction is practical to clean and maintain
- Compact size handles well at a standard bar station
These tongs are best suited to front-of-house bar use rather than back-of-house or high-throughput ice handling. For venues moving large volumes of ice — bulk ice bins in production kitchens or banqueting prep areas — a heavier-duty ice scoop or larger serving tool would be more practical.
If you're fitting out a bar and want to talk through the full range of bar smallwares, we're happy to help you select tools that work together in service.
£1.89(£2.27 inc VAT)
The Beaumont Double Reach Corkscrew is a folding three-function bar tool designed for front-of-house and bar staff. It combines a double-lever corkscrew, a bottle opener, and a small foil-cutting blade into a single compact unit that folds down to pocket size when not in use.
In a busy bar or restaurant setting, having the right tool to hand matters. A corkscrew that requires a trip back to the bar slows service; this one stays in a staff member's pocket throughout a shift, ready when needed. The double-lever action reduces the effort required to draw a cork cleanly, which is useful when covers are high and bottles are moving quickly.
- Double-lever corkscrew reduces cork removal effort during busy service
- Integrated bottle opener handles both wine and beer bottle service
- Small foil blade removes capsules cleanly at the table
- Folds flat for safe pocket carry between service points
- Stainless steel construction stands up to daily commercial use
This is a straightforward, practical tool well suited to restaurants, hotels, wine bars, and any front-of-house environment where staff serve bottled wine and beer at table. It is not designed for high-volume bar situations where a countertop opener or speed tool would be more appropriate.
If you are equipping a full front-of-house team or sourcing bar smallwares in quantity, our team is happy to advise on the right tools for your service style.
£9.36(£11.23 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward stainless steel handheld bottle opener from Beaumont, supplied in a pack of ten. Compact and lightweight, it is the kind of bar tool that gets used dozens of times a shift without a second thought — and that reliability is precisely the point.
In a busy bar environment, bottle openers take a fair amount of abuse. The stainless steel construction on this model gives it enough thickness to resist bending under repeated use, which is a practical consideration when tools are being passed between staff or pocketed and retrieved throughout service. The machined hole in the handle allows it to be attached to a keyring or a lanyard clip, which helps reduce the time staff spend looking for a misplaced opener during a busy period.
Supplied as a pack of ten, these are well suited to venues that need to equip a full team, replace lost or worn items in bulk, or keep spares behind the bar without significant outlay. They are commonly used in pubs, restaurants, hotel bars, and event catering operations where consistent, no-fuss bottle opening is needed across multiple staff members.
There is nothing complex to consider here in terms of installation or setup — these are ready to use straight away. The main practical point is simply ensuring you have enough on hand for your team size and service volume. For operations with very high throughput, a heavier-duty bar tool may be worth considering.
If you are equipping a new bar setup or want to talk through what else your team might need, we are happy to help.
£1.11(£1.33 inc VAT)
The Olympia bar blade is a straightforward stainless steel bottle opener designed for everyday use behind a bar. At 180mm in length, it sits comfortably in the hand and is long enough to give good leverage when opening crown-cap bottles quickly during service.
In a busy bar environment, speed and reliability matter more than complexity. A bar blade that flexes, corrodes, or loses its edge under constant use becomes a frustration during peak service periods. This one is made from stainless steel throughout, which keeps it resistant to moisture and easy to wipe down between uses — practical considerations in any licensed premises or hospitality setting.
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and staining in wet bar environments
- 180mm length provides comfortable grip and effective leverage
- Slim profile fits easily into a bar apron pocket or back bar drawer
- Smooth edges make it safe to handle at speed during busy service
- Easy to clean and maintain to basic hygiene standards
This is a standard-capacity bar tool suited to pubs, bars, restaurants, hotels, and event catering operations. It is not a specialist tool — if your operation requires a bottle opener with an integrated corkscrew or cap catcher, there are alternatives worth considering.
If you are equipping a new bar or restocking front-of-house tools in quantity, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work out what makes sense for your setup.
£3.63(£4.36 inc VAT)
The Beaumont Curved Waiter's Friend is a three-in-one bar tool combining a corkscrew, a foil-cutting knife, and a bottle opener in a single stainless steel unit. The curved profile sits more naturally in the hand than a flat-profile equivalent, which matters when a member of staff is opening bottles repeatedly across a busy service.
In practice, this is the kind of tool that gets used dozens of times a night in a restaurant or bar environment. The stainless steel construction handles that kind of daily workload without the corrosion or flex you would get from lower-grade alternatives, and the compact form means it slips into a waistcoat or apron pocket without bulk. That accessibility is genuinely useful during service — reaching for a separate opener or fumbling with a poorly balanced corkscrew wastes time at the wrong moment.
- Curved ergonomic profile reduces hand fatigue during repeated use
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and stands up to daily cleaning
- Three integrated functions eliminate the need to carry separate tools
- Pocket-sized form keeps it accessible throughout service
- Smooth corkscrew action supports confident, controlled cork removal
There are no special storage or maintenance requirements beyond standard cleaning. It is worth noting that for very high-volume wine service — a busy wine bar or a restaurant with an extensive list — a heavier, double-hinge model may reduce the physical effort of cork extraction and be worth considering alongside this one.
This tool is well suited to restaurants, bars, hotels, and any venue where front-of-house staff open bottles as a routine part of service. It is a reliable everyday choice at a sensible price point.
If you are equipping a team and want to talk through quantities or whether a different style of opener would suit your service better, the team is happy to help.
£4.18(£5.02 inc VAT)
The Beaumont wall-mounted bottle opener is a straightforward, fixed-position opener designed for bar counters where speed and convenience matter during service. It mounts directly to the wall or to a compatible catchment box, keeping the opener in a consistent, easy-to-reach position rather than floating loose in a drawer or on the bar top.
In a busy bar environment, a fixed opener reduces the small but cumulative delays that come with locating a handheld tool mid-service. Staff can open bottles in a single, practiced motion without hunting for equipment, which helps maintain pace during peak periods. The chrome swivel claw opener is practical and durable for regular use.
A few practical points worth noting before ordering:
- Compatible with the J378 catchment box (universal or snap-fix mount)
- The catchment box and swivel claw opener are sold separately — confirm which components you need
- Suitable for wall or bar-back installation where a fixed position aids workflow
- Lightweight construction at 50g — no special fixing hardware required beyond standard wall anchors
This opener is well suited to pubs, bars, and hospitality venues that serve bottled beer regularly and want a tidy, fixed solution rather than a loose handheld tool. It is a simple addition rather than a high-volume solution, so operators running very high-throughput bottle service may want to consider a more heavy-duty or multi-opener setup.
If you are unsure which catchment box or fixing arrangement suits your bar layout, our team is happy to help you piece together the right combination before you order.
£5.73(£6.88 inc VAT)
This winged corkscrew combines a twin-lever cork extraction mechanism with a bottle opener, giving bar staff a single tool that handles both tasks without switching between pieces of kit. The twin levers allow smooth, controlled cork removal with minimal effort — the wings rise as the worm drives into the cork, and a simple downward press on both levers lifts it cleanly.
In a bar or hospitality environment, speed and reliability during service matter more than novelty. A tool that fumbles or requires excessive force creates delays at the pass and frustration under pressure. The twin-lever design suits operators who want consistent, repeatable results without depending on technique or grip strength.
- Twin-lever mechanism for controlled, low-effort cork extraction
- Integrated bottle opener for cap removal without a second tool
- Chrome-plated finish, practical for bar environments
- Compact and easy to store behind a bar counter
- Suitable for everyday use across wine, sparkling, and still bottles
There are no electrical or installation requirements — this is a hand tool that goes straight into service. It suits bars, restaurants, hotels, and event catering operations where wine service forms a regular part of the offering. For very high-volume wine service, some operators prefer a professional waiter's friend or a mechanical lever corkscrew mounted to the bar counter, and it is worth considering which format better suits your throughput.
If you are equipping a new bar or refreshing your smallwares and want to talk through what suits your service style, the team is happy to help.
£9.83(£11.80 inc VAT)
This is a fixed-mount bottle opener designed to be fitted to the underside of a bar counter. It opens bottled beers quickly and keeps the opener in a consistent location, with a removable cap catcher positioned beneath to collect bottle tops as they fall.
In a busy bar environment, loose bottle openers are a persistent operational nuisance — they get pocketed, misplaced mid-service, or end up behind the ice well. Fixing the opener permanently beneath the counter removes that problem entirely. Staff know exactly where it is, and service keeps moving without the small but repeated friction of hunting for a tool. The cap catcher means bottle tops aren't scattered across the bar mat or floor, which matters both for hygiene and for keeping the service area tidy during a busy shift.
- Permanently fixed position removes the risk of a misplaced opener during service
- Removable cap catcher empties and cleans quickly between shifts
- Plastic construction is lightweight and straightforward to keep clean
- Compact footprint suits most standard under-counter bar installations
Installation is straightforward — the unit fixes to the underside of the bar top with screws, and no tools or trade skills are required beyond basic fitting. It's worth checking the underside surface material before fitting to ensure a secure fixing. The cap catcher is removable, so emptying and rinsing it down takes only a moment.
This opener is well suited to pub bars, hotel bars, event bars, and any operation that moves a consistent volume of bottled beer. It's a practical, no-fuss solution for a common bar workflow problem. If you're fitting out a new bar or replacing worn-out openers across multiple stations, the team are happy to talk through what works well in practice.
£6.06(£7.27 inc VAT)
These Pujadas ice tongs are a compact, well-made bar tool designed for hygienic, single-handed service of ice, garnishes, fruit, and similar items. The hammered stainless steel finish gives them a clean, professional appearance that sits well in front-of-house and bar environments, while the crow's-feet shaped tips provide a reliable grip on ice cubes, citrus wedges, or small cheese and pastry portions without dropping or fumbling under service pressure.
At 150mm they are a practical size for most bar trays, ice buckets, and garnish trays — easy to store, easy to reach for, and straightforward to keep clean. The stainless steel construction holds up well to repeated washing and resists the staining and odour retention that can affect cheaper materials over time.
- Stainless steel construction handles repeated commercial washing without deterioration
- Hammered finish presents well in bar and front-of-house settings
- Crow's-feet tips grip ice cubes, garnishes, and small food items securely
- Compact 150mm length suits most standard ice buckets and service trays
- Suitable for ice, fruit, pastries, cheese cubes, and cocktail garnishes
For very high-volume service environments, a longer or heavier-gauge tong may feel better balanced in hand through a busy shift. At this size, these are well suited to cocktail bars, hotel bars, restaurant service stations, and catering buffet lines where a neat, consistent presentation matters.
If you are equipping a bar or service station and want a steer on quantities or whether this size suits your service style, we are happy to help.
£6.45(£7.74 inc VAT)
The waiter's friend is the standard corkscrew format used across professional bar and restaurant service the world over. This example follows that familiar fold-out design — a helix worm, hinged lever arm, and a serrated foil cutter built into the body — giving service staff everything they need to open a bottle cleanly and quickly without reaching for a separate tool.
In a busy service environment, speed and reliability matter more than novelty. A corkscrew that fumbles, slips, or requires excessive force under pressure creates unnecessary friction at the pass or the table. This model is built to the standard expected of a professional tool — the foil cutter trims cleanly, and the lever mechanism gives the controlled extraction that experienced staff prefer over wing or electric alternatives.
- Fold-out design keeps the tool compact and pocket-friendly during service
- Integrated foil cutter removes the need for a separate blade
- Hinged double-lever arm allows controlled, two-stage cork extraction
- Suitable for still and sparkling wine bottles with standard corks
- Lightweight and easy to replace if lost during service
As a smallware, there are no installation requirements to consider. It is worth buying in small multiples for any operation with more than one or two front-of-house staff — corkscrews have a habit of disappearing during busy shifts, and having a spare to hand avoids delays during service.
This corkscrew suits restaurants, hotels, wine bars, and any venue where staff open bottles regularly as part of table or counter service. It is a practical, no-frills tool at an accessible price point. If you need advice on quantities or other barware, our team is happy to help you work through what you need.
£2.14(£2.57 inc VAT)
This is a traditional bar blade bottle opener made from stainless steel, with a PVC-covered grip for comfort and control during continuous use. The blade design serves two purposes: opening crown-capped bottles and cutting the foil from wine or spirit bottle necks, making it a practical dual-use tool for bartenders.
In a busy bar environment, a reliable bottle opener is one of those items that rarely gets thought about until it fails. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion from wet and sticky bar surfaces, and the PVC grip helps maintain a secure hold during a fast-paced service. The bar blade format is the preferred style for many experienced bartenders — it allows quick, low-effort bottle opening with a lever action that becomes second nature with regular use.
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and withstands regular washing
- PVC grip provides secure handling during high-volume service
- Blade edge suitable for cutting foil on wine and spirit bottles
- Compact and lightweight — easy to keep behind the bar or in an apron pocket
There are no installation requirements for a hand tool of this type, but it is worth keeping a small stock of bar blades on hand — they are easily misplaced in a busy service environment. At 100g it is a lightweight, low-maintenance addition to any bar setup.
This opener is well suited to pubs, restaurants, hotels, and event bars handling regular bottled service. For operations with very high throughput or where a wall-mounted opener would be more practical, alternative formats are worth considering. If you are equipping a bar from scratch and want guidance on the full range of bar tools, the team is happy to help you put together a sensible kit.
£2.99(£3.59 inc VAT)
The Beaumont Waiter's Friend is a standard three-function bar tool combining a corkscrew, a bottle opener, and a foil-cutting knife in a single fold-away unit. It is the format most bar and waiting staff are already familiar with, which keeps training time to a minimum and reduces the chance of fumbling during a busy service.
In practice, it handles the everyday demands of pub, restaurant, and hotel bar work without fuss. The corkscrew draws cleanly through most corks, the bottle opener deals with crown caps quickly, and the small knife cuts through foil capsules neatly before any pouring begins. All three tools fold flat against the stainless steel body, making it safe to carry in an apron or trouser pocket throughout a shift.
- Removes the need for separate tools at the table or bar
- Folds flat for safe pocket carry during service
- Plastic handle provides a secure grip on stubborn corks
- Compact enough to keep as a personal staff tool or stocked as a backup
There are no installation considerations with a hand tool of this kind. It is worth buying a few spares to keep behind the bar — a misplaced corkscrew mid-service is a common and avoidable disruption. For very high-volume wine service, such as large banqueting operations, some operators prefer a lever-style or two-step corkscrew for speed; the straight waiter's friend suits most table-service and bar environments well.
If you are equipping a bar or front-of-house team and want to talk through quantities or other bar sundries, the team is happy to help.
£2.45(£2.94 inc VAT)
These Olympia ice tongs are finished in a gunmetal coating over stainless steel construction, making them a practical and presentable choice for bar counters, buffet stations, and front-of-house ice service. At 160mm in length, they sit comfortably in the hand without being cumbersome, and the serrated jaws give a reliable grip on standard ice cubes, reducing the chance of cubes slipping during service.
The tongs are designed to complement the Olympia gunmetal ice bucket but work equally well alongside other countertop ice buckets. For operations running a consistent bar aesthetic, having matched tongs and bucket is a small detail that contributes to a tidier, more considered front-of-house presentation.
From a practical standpoint, these tongs offer a few straightforward advantages for bar and buffet use:
- Serrated jaws provide a secure grip on ice cubes during busy service
- Compact size is easy to handle for bar staff working quickly
- Gunmetal finish suits contemporary bar and hospitality aesthetics
- Stainless steel construction supports dishwasher cleaning between services
- Lightweight at 40g, reducing hand fatigue during extended service periods
There are no complex installation or infrastructure requirements here — these are a straightforward counter accessory. The main consideration is matching them to your existing bar equipment and service style. If your operation favours a more traditional aesthetic, a copper-style finish may be a better fit. For high-volume venues cycling through large quantities of ice rapidly, it is worth ensuring the tong size suits the ice cube format your machine produces.
These tongs are well suited to hotel bars, restaurants, cocktail bars, and catered events where a consistent bar presentation matters. They are a practical everyday item rather than a premium centrepiece, but they do the job reliably and clean up easily.
If you are putting together a complete bar setup and want to make sure everything works well together, we are happy to help you think it through.
£9.46(£11.35 inc VAT)
The Beaumont Deluxe Waiter's Friend is a professional-grade corkscrew designed for front-of-house staff who open bottles repeatedly throughout a service. It combines a two-step lever mechanism, a Teflon-coated worm, a retractable foil cutter, and a crown cap opener into a single compact tool that fits neatly in a server's pocket or apron.
In a busy restaurant or bar environment, the two-step lever makes a practical difference — it allows the cork to be drawn smoothly in two controlled stages, reducing the risk of breakage on older or fragile corks. The Teflon coating on the worm helps it turn cleanly into the cork without excessive force, which matters when a server is opening several bottles in quick succession during a busy service.
- Two-step lever action for controlled, low-effort cork removal
- Teflon-coated worm for smooth insertion and reduced cork damage
- Retractable foil cutter removes capsules cleanly without a separate tool
- Crown cap opener handles bottled beer and soft drinks as well as wine
- Varnished wooden handle offers a comfortable grip and a more considered appearance than a plain metal tool
There are no installation requirements — this is a hand-carried tool. It is well suited to restaurants, wine bars, hotels, and any front-of-house operation where staff are expected to open wine tableside. For very high-volume wine service, some operators prefer to have several units in rotation; the Beaumont range includes simpler options for back-bar use alongside more refined tools for tableside presentation.
If you are equipping a full front-of-house team or sourcing tools as part of a broader bar setup, feel free to get in touch — it helps to get the right balance of durability and presentation for your setting.
£0.48(£0.58 inc VAT)
The Olympia Crown Bottle Opener is a compact, single-purpose bar tool made from stainless steel. It opens crown-capped bottles — the standard closure on most bottled beers, soft drinks, and mixers — and is sized to sit comfortably in a hand or slip into a bar apron pocket without bulk.
In practice, this type of opener is most commonly found in hotel rooms, hospitality suites, self-service bar areas, and event catering setups where a simple, low-cost tool is needed at point of service. It is designed for occasional use rather than continuous high-volume service — a busy bar operation opening hundreds of bottles per shift would typically reach for a wall-mounted or lever-style opener built for that throughput.
The stainless steel construction keeps it easy to wipe down and resistant to the damp conditions typical of bar environments. A hole at one end allows it to be attached to a keyring or hook, which helps prevent it going missing in shared service areas — a practical detail in hospitality settings where small tools have a habit of walking.
This opener suits hotel room amenity kits, hospitality trolleys, self-service minibar setups, and similar low-frequency service points. It is also a sensible backup tool to keep behind a bar. For operations requiring a faster, more ergonomic solution at a busy service station, a countertop or fixed wall opener would be a more appropriate choice.
If you are equipping a bar and are unsure which combination of tools best fits your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.

These stainless steel ice tongs from Olympia are a straightforward, practical tool for bar and buffet service. Designed to grip and transfer ice cleanly, they are a standard piece of barware found across hotels, restaurants, function venues, and licensed premises where ice is served regularly.
The stainless steel construction keeps them durable and easy to keep clean through repeated washing, and the ergonomic design allows for comfortable use during busy service periods when speed and control both matter. At this size, they are suited to most standard ice buckets and hotel trays without feeling unwieldy in the hand.
For most bar and buffet operations, a set of well-made ice tongs does a simple job reliably. Key practical points worth noting:
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and withstands commercial dishwashing
- Ergonomic grip reduces fatigue during continuous use at busy bars
- Appropriate size for standard ice buckets and service trays
- Hygienic alternative to bare-hand ice handling
- Lightweight enough for easy single-hand operation behind the bar
There is little complexity to buying a set of ice tongs, but if you are equipping a bar or function space from scratch and want advice on the broader range of barware and service utensils we carry, the team is always happy to help.

The Olympia double lever corkscrew and bottle opener is a practical front-of-house tool designed for waitstaff and bar teams who open bottles regularly throughout service. The double lever mechanism distributes the effort required to draw a cork, reducing strain on both the operator and the bottle neck — which in turn helps avoid the cracked or broken necks that can occur with single-lever tools under pressure.
In a busy restaurant or bar environment, reliability matters as much as performance. This opener is built from a combination of zinc alloy and polypropylene, giving it a solid feel in the hand without being unnecessarily heavy. It functions consistently across standard wine bottles and is straightforward enough for new front-of-house staff to use with minimal instruction.
- Double lever action reduces the effort needed to extract corks
- Helps prevent bottle neck breakage during service
- Dishwasher safe — easy to keep clean during and after service
- Compact enough to sit comfortably in an apron pocket
- Durable construction suitable for repeated daily use
As a dishwasher-safe item, it fits easily into end-of-service cleaning routines without requiring special handling. There is nothing complicated about its care or use, which is often what matters most when front-of-house teams are under pressure.
This opener is well suited to restaurants, wine bars, bistros, and hotel dining operations where wine service is a regular part of the offer. It is a sensible everyday tool rather than a ceremonial sommelier's piece — practical, consistent, and straightforward to replace when needed.
If you are equipping a larger team or stocking spares, feel free to get in touch and we can advise on quantities and options.
£1.50(£1.80 inc VAT)
The Bonzer Bar Blade is a simple, well-made bar tool designed for removing crown caps quickly and cleanly. Rather than a conventional lever-style opener, it works by sliding the blade up the neck of the bottle and lifting the cap off in one smooth movement — a technique that becomes fast and intuitive with a little practice.
In busy bar environments where speed matters, the bar blade is a practical choice. Experienced bartenders can open bottles rapidly without the fumbling associated with traditional openers, which helps keep service moving during peak periods. The action is consistent and clean, reducing the chance of cap distortion or spillage at the neck.
It is a straightforward tool with no moving parts and nothing to wear out or replace, which makes it reliably low-maintenance. Cleaning is quick, and it is compact enough to keep to hand on the bar without taking up space.
There is a modest learning curve for staff unfamiliar with the technique, so it is worth allowing a short period of practice before using it under pressure in service. Once comfortable with the motion, most bar staff find it quicker than conventional openers for high-volume bottle service.
The Bar Blade suits bars, pubs, event caterers, and any operation where bottled drinks are a significant part of service. For lower-volume or less frequent use, a standard lever opener may be sufficient — the bar blade rewards regular use.
If you are equipping a new bar or reviewing your smallwares, feel free to get in touch and we can help you put together the right kit.
£2.85(£3.42 inc VAT)
The Olympia champagne stopper is a straightforward bar accessory designed to reseal an open champagne or sparkling wine bottle and preserve the carbonation between pours. A built-in clamp mechanism grips the bottle neck securely, creating a reliable seal without requiring any additional tools or consumables.
In a busy bar or restaurant setting, bottles of sparkling wine are frequently opened for guests ordering by the glass rather than the bottle. Without a proper stopper, carbonation is lost relatively quickly, which affects both the quality of subsequent pours and the perception of value for the customer. This stopper addresses that directly, helping operators maintain consistent quality across every glass served from the same bottle.
- Keeps sparkling wine acceptably carbonated between service pours
- Clamp mechanism holds firmly without damaging the bottle lip
- Chrome finish suits front-of-house and bar counter use
- Compact size for easy storage in a bar drawer or service station
- Reusable and straightforward to wipe clean after service
There are no installation requirements — this is a hand-held accessory that needs no setup beyond a quick wipe before first use. It is suited to any venue serving champagne or sparkling wine by the glass, from casual dining through to formal restaurant service. For very high-volume sparkling wine operations, it is worth considering whether multiple units are needed to avoid bottlenecks during service.
If you have questions about bar smallwares or want to discuss what else might suit your service setup, the team is happy to help.

The Beaumont Bar Blade is a double-ended stainless steel bottle opener designed for everyday use behind a busy bar. One end opens bottles in the conventional way; the other acts as a hook for retrieving bottles from ice buckets without the need to dig around by hand. At 18cm in length, it sits comfortably in the palm and is light enough to carry in an apron pocket throughout a shift.
In a busy bar environment, speed and reliability matter. A bar blade opens bottles faster than a traditional waiter's friend and requires less wrist effort during a long service. The rounded edges reduce the risk of accidental cuts or drops, which is a small but worthwhile consideration when bottles are being opened at pace and the bar is wet.
- Double-ended design for opening and retrieving bottles from ice
- Rounded edges for safer handling during busy service
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and cleans easily
- Lightweight at 74g — comfortable for extended use
- Suitable for standard crown-cap bottles
There are no installation requirements. The blade is ready to use and can be cleaned quickly under running water or passed through a glasswasher. It is worth keeping a couple behind the bar as backup — at this price point, having a spare is straightforward insurance against loss during a busy shift.
This blade is well suited to pubs, bars, restaurants, and event bars where bottle service forms part of the offering. If your operation runs very high-volume bottle service or you are equipping a large team, it may be worth looking at heavier-gauge options or purchasing in multiples.
If you are equipping a new bar or want to discuss quantities, the team is happy to help you choose the right tools for your setup.
£2.99(£3.59 inc VAT)
The Beaumont Bar Blade is a double-ended stainless steel bottle opener with a copper-plated finish, designed for fast, repeated use behind a busy bar. At 18cm in length, it sits comfortably in the hand and is sized to work efficiently without getting in the way during service.
The double-ended design is the practical detail that sets this apart from a standard opener. One end opens bottles in the conventional way, while the other is shaped to hook beneath a bottle cap and lift it cleanly from an ice bucket — a small but genuinely useful feature when you're working quickly during a rush.
- Rounded edges reduce the risk of accidental cuts or drops during fast service
- Copper-plated finish suits front-of-house use where presentation matters
- Lightweight stainless steel construction keeps it durable under daily use
- Double-ended format handles both opening and ice-bucket retrieval in one tool
This is a straightforward bar tool and most bars will want to keep several in rotation. The copper finish does require a little care to maintain its appearance — wiping down after service rather than leaving it submerged is advisable. It is well suited to cocktail bars, pub bars, and event catering where speed and presentation both matter.

£2.99(£3.59 inc VAT)
The Beaumont champagne stopper is a straightforward, well-made bar accessory designed to preserve opened sparkling wine and champagne bottles between pours. The lever mechanism clamps firmly over the bottle neck to create a tight seal, helping to retain carbonation and flavour once a bottle has been opened during service.
In a busy bar environment, the ability to keep opened bottles in good condition is a practical concern — particularly where bottles are opened ahead of service or where guests order by the glass. A reliable stopper reduces waste and helps maintain drink quality without requiring the bottle to be finished in one sitting.
The stainless steel construction holds up well to the rigours of daily bar use. It resists corrosion, is straightforward to clean, and is suitably compact to keep behind the bar without taking up unnecessary space.
- Lever mechanism provides a secure, consistent seal each time
- Stainless steel construction stands up to regular professional use
- Compact size suits bar drawers, trays, or countertop storage
- Suitable for standard champagne and sparkling wine bottle necks
This stopper suits bars, restaurants, hotels, and event catering operations where opened sparkling wine bottles need to be held between service. It is a practical, no-frills solution rather than a premium presentation piece.
If you have questions about suitability for your bar setup or are equipping a larger operation, the team is happy to help.
£1.73(£2.08 inc VAT)
The Beaumont V Bar Blade is a double-ended stainless steel bar tool designed for the everyday demands of a working bar. At one end it opens bottles quickly and reliably; the hooked end allows bartenders to retrieve bottles from ice buckets without digging around by hand. A built-in pourer removing tool handles stubborn pourers without the need for a separate implement.
In a busy service environment, small tools like this matter more than they might appear to. A bar blade that sits securely in the hand, opens cleanly first time, and doubles as an ice bucket hook removes several small friction points from a bartender's workflow during peak service. The rounded edges on this blade are a practical detail — they reduce the risk of accidental cuts during fast-paced service when hands are wet.
Constructed from stainless steel and weighing 75g, it has enough substance to feel purposeful without being cumbersome. The stainless finish is straightforward to wipe down and holds up well to regular cleaning.
- Opens bottles cleanly without slipping or fumbling
- Hooked end retrieves bottles from ice buckets without hand contact
- Integrated pourer remover handles tight or stubborn pourers
- Rounded edges reduce the risk of cuts during busy service
- Stainless steel construction is easy to clean and durable under daily use
This is a solid, no-frills bar blade suited to most bar environments. If your team gets through high volumes and prefers a heavier or longer tool, it's worth comparing options before committing to a single style. If you'd like a steer on what works well in your type of operation, we're happy to help.
