How to Make a Spy Happy with Benoit Provost, American Bar at the Stafford Hotel, London

What’s a Frenchman doing overseeing the most American Bar in London? Benoit Prevost has been making Manhattans for 23 years at The Stafford Hotel. He reveals what’s kept him here all this time.

----

Hello everyone - Don't get confused! Before there was Lush Life, there was Best Sips Worldwide, I rebranded after the first season. Although I reference Best Sips – it’s Lush Life through and through – the same great guests, the same music, and the same me!

-----

I sit down with Benoit Provost, the Frenchman who heads up the most American of Bars in London.

Ben invited me for drinks over lunch and talked me through his journey from the Loire Valley to the Stafford - his home for 23 years.

If you haven’t been to the American Bar, you are in for a real treat. Order the White Mouse and toast to one of the great heroes of World War Two. Don’t forget also to toast to the man who brought you that drink, Benoit Provost.

Always remember the wise words of Oscar Wilde, “All things in moderation, including moderation,” and always drink responsibly!
