Behind the Apron: What It’s Really Like to Be a Fit Butler

Series: The Ultimate Girls’ Night Guide by Fit Butlers

They serve drinks. They host games. They look great in nothing but an apron.But who are the men behind the cuffs and collars?

In this exclusive look behind the scenes at Fit Butlers, we chat to the team about what it’s really like being a butler in the buff in Bristol and Bath — from awkward arrivals to hilarious hen party moments.

💬 “People always assume it’s just standing around looking hot…”

But Drake, one of our top butlers, says it’s so much more than that:

“We’re entertainers, not statues. You’ve got to be able to read the room, put people at ease, and make it fun without ever making anyone uncomfortable. Yes, it helps if you’ve got a six-pack — but charm and good banter matter more.”

🥂 What Does a Typical Night Look Like?

From countryside cottages near Bath to rooftop apartments in Bristol, no two bookings are the same. Here's a peek at a typical evening:

• Arrive early and change in private

• Greet guests, usually with a tray of prosecco or cheeky cocktails

• Host a few hen party games (Think: Prosecco Pong, Mr & Mrs, or “How Well Do You Know the Bride?”)

• Pose for photos — yes, those shots with the bride hiding behind the apron are always popular!

• Help with music, laughs, and keeping the party going

🤭 Funniest Moments on the Job?

Every butler has a story. Here are a few favourites:

“Once a nan turned up last minute, and I panicked – but she ended up pouring me a prosecco and saying ‘don’t worry love, I was at a Chippendales show in the 80s.’ She was the best guest there!”

“I once walked into the wrong flat in Bristol. The guy living there just said, ‘Not what I ordered, but carry on.’”

🙋‍♀️ What Do Guests Always Ask?

• “Is it cold in that apron?”

• “Are you really single?”

• “Do you do this full-time?”

• “How do I become a butler in the buff?” (Spoiler: Apply with confidence, charm, and some abs.)
