What to drink at the newly revived Beaumont? Douglas Blyde masters the menu

The Beaumont Hotel has unveiled a revived team led by Stuart Procter, who previously made waves as managing director of the Stafford. His star-studded crew includes Elvis Ziakos, a renowned sommelier and wine judge, and Antonino Lo Iacono, a spirits maestro who previously mixed martinis at Duke’s.
