Interviewed by a Butler

I've just been interviewed by a Butler for his YouTube Channel!

A few years back I met Simeon Rosset of Rosset Bespoke Butlers.

He'd learned and honed his skills for several years at Leeds Castle and was now hiring out his services for events such as exclusive gatherings, weddings, and shooting parties, and could be found butlering anywhere from Scottish castles to European palaces to Super yachts.

He'd also started a Butler School, training people up to the high standards required and it wasn't long before we started talking about a promotional photo shoot.

We ended up doing this out at Craufurdland Castle with the current descendants/owners/custodians - Simon and Adity Houison Craufurd and their two daughters.

When Covid hit, like me Simeon decided to look to video options for his social media presence. But rather than a live podcast he began introducing people to the different aspects of being a butler – from tips on how to serve wine, to polishing silver, to a bluffer's guide to brandy.

More recently he's begun a series of interviews – from private chefs to bodyguards, and now me!

Here's the interview (done via Zoom, of course), but do check out Simeon's YouTube Channel:

for a fascinating insight into a completely different kind of life.
