How the job works

Guardian of the household's standards

A butler makes sure life in the house runs the way the family is used to: greeting guests, organising table service and receptions, looking after the wine cellar, silver and wardrobe, and coordinating housekeepers, waiters and chauffeurs. In smaller homes the butler effectively acts as house manager.
