Availability: InStock

The Beaumont Waiter's Friend is a professional corkscrew for front-of-house wine service, in stainless steel with a plated finish. It comes in two finishes: gold plated and copper plated. Choose the finish from the Colour option above. It folds into a pocket or apron and opens to reveal a foil cutter, a bottle cap opener and a 5-turn helix corkscrew.

The double-hinged arm extracts the cork in two stages, which reduces the risk of breakage or spillage when bottles are being opened in quick succession.

It suits restaurants, wine bars and hotel dining where presentation matters alongside practicality. It is a per-server carry rather than a shared bar tool, so think about how many units your team needs at peak times.

Frequently asked questions

How many of these should I order for a restaurant team?

As a general guide, one per server is the most practical approach — waiters' friends tend to be personal tools rather than shared kit. For a team of six covering a busy dinner service, having a couple of spares in reserve is sensible in case one goes missing or is misplaced during a shift.

Is the gold plating durable enough for regular service use?

The stainless steel base construction is robust for everyday use, but like any plated finish, the gold coating will show wear over time with heavy daily handling. This model is well suited to environments where presentation is a priority alongside function, though operators expecting very high-frequency use may want to consider whether a standard stainless finish better suits their needs.

Does the double-hinged arm work with longer natural corks?

Yes — the double-hinge design is specifically useful for longer natural corks, allowing the extraction to be completed in two stages rather than forcing the cork out in a single pull. This reduces the risk of the cork snapping or crumbling, which is particularly relevant when opening older bottles or wines sealed with full-length natural corks.
