The comfort of bespoke butler service
Trained in the art of butling by the quintessentially British butler Mr Rick Fink, and gaining experience in iconic English stately homes, I have honed my craft under the mentorship of some of the most established custodians of tradition.
Shaped by an early career in design, I offer a unique perspective to maintain the character and integrity of your home, with refined yet approachable manners, ensuring that historic charm and modern luxury seamlessly intertwine.
Charles Adrien Pasquier
I am a professionally trained French butler. Raised in an elegant 'hôtel particulier' in West France, I developed a deep fascination for historic homes. After an 11-year design career, I retrained as a butler in 2016.
​
I attended the course at the Butler Valet School in Ditchley Park, Oxfordshire, and I have six years of experience managing historic homes. I’ve worked for the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland at Alnwick Castle and the Dent-Brocklehursts at Sudeley Castle.
​
Based in Royal Leamington Spa, I offer private freelance butler services tailored to your distinct needs and lifestyle. I've had the privilege of working within diverse households, and I consider my role that of a custodian - preserving cherished traditions whilst adapting to the demands of modern living.
Being a butler is an honour, and through my private freelance butler service, I am committed to preserving and sharing this distinguished legacy with those I serve.
