A naked butler, also called a buff butler, is a male party host who comes to your house, holiday let, apartment or hired room to look after your guests. He welcomes everyone, serves the drinks you've bought, hands round food and runs party games, in a uniform of front apron, bow tie, shirt collar and cuffs. Despite the name, full nudity is not part of the service and he doesn't strip; for a strip show, look at male strippers instead.
Hire starts at £170 for a single butler over two hours, anywhere in England, Scotland or Wales. Your quote adds travel worked out from the event postcode; when a butler has been secured, a £20 deposit is payable; and guests must all be adults.
Not listed? Request a quote with your event postcode anyway; travel is worked out the same way, and availability is confirmed before you pay.
YOUR PARTY HOST
What your butler does
A two-hour booking usually runs like this, though the order can be adjusted for your group:
Arrival. He turns up a little early, introduces himself to the organiser, changes out of sight and reads the room.
Welcome drinks. Guests are greeted with a drink from your supplies as they settle in.
Hosted games. He leads games suited to the group, such as icebreakers, naughty bingo or a quiz about the bride or birthday guest, with no physical contact involved.
Mingling and photos. Time to chat and take group photos, with his agreement.
Ongoing service. He keeps glasses topped up, hands round canapés or a buffet, and keeps the atmosphere going until the booking ends.
Some groups want non-stop games; others prefer relaxed drinks service with the butler in the background. Tell the team which you'd like when you book, and he'll take his lead from your group.
Alcohol, bar kit and food are your group's to provide, and he won't cook. To have drinks brought instead, a mobile cocktail making class brings everything with it.

£170 is the starting price for one butler's first two hours, not a per-guest charge. Your total depends on the date, location, length and number of butlers. Your quote is generated instantly and emailed to you, and the price shown in your written quote is the amount you pay. Tips are optional and never added to the bill.
How many butlers? As a rule of thumb, one butler covers 10–12 guests. Twelve people sharing a living room need only one; thirty moving between kitchen, conservatory and garden are better served by two or three. Put your headcount and room layout on the quote request for a recommendation.

GETTING READY
What your group and venue need to sort
Every drink to be served, soft options included
Glassware, ice and food, if you'd like him to serve some
A changing space away from the guests, for instance a bathroom
Written consent from the property owner, letting host or venue before payment
Access notes: house number, which door, entry codes and parking
Flats in a managed block: some buildings restrict visitors regardless of what the flat owner says, so check both. Let us know which storey you're on, the entry system (a doorman, key fob or buzzer panel) and somewhere to park
Short-let rentals: the listing's rules may cover outside entertainers; read them first, then get the owner's go-ahead in writing
Host the party in a room people outside can't see into. In a hotel, a standard bedroom is rarely big enough and outside entertainers may not be allowed, so ask reception before booking or hire a function room. For a pub or club function room, confirm that a visiting host and your own drinks are allowed.
YOUR OCCASION
Who the service suits
Good matches include hen dos and hen weekends, big or surprise birthdays, nights in with friends, baby showers, LGBTQ+ parties, and adult work or charity socials where some cheek is welcome.
It's not the right fit for a family event with children present, or for a group that wants a formal, entertainment-free drinks reception.
COMFORT AND CONSENT
Clothing, photography and guest boundaries
Outfit: after changing privately on arrival, he keeps the standard uniform on throughout the booked hosting time. Full nudity is not part of the service, and there's no strip.
Alternative look: shorts, trousers or an outfit to match your party theme can be requested when you enquire. Changes are only confirmed in writing and depend on availability.
Age: under-18s can't be present, even as onlookers, and a booking can be stopped if they are.
No touching: guests mustn't make physical contact with the butler, in games, photos or otherwise.
Photos: ask him first; once he's agreed, photos and selfies are fine.
Taking part: joining in is optional for everyone.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Questions before booking
NAKED BUTLER FAQ
Does a naked butler strip?
No. The uniform stays on for the whole booking, and full nudity is not part of the service. For a strip routine, book a male stripper.
NAKED BUTLER FAQ
Can the butler wear something more covered?
Yes. Request shorts, trousers or a themed look on your enquiry. It's only arranged once confirmed in writing, and availability can't be promised.
NAKED BUTLER FAQ
What games does the butler bring?
Party games suited to the group, such as icebreakers, naughty bingo and quizzes about the bride or birthday guest. Mention any specific requests when you confirm your booking.
NAKED BUTLER FAQ
Can it be a surprise?
It can. Flag it on your quote request, and make sure the guest of honour doesn't wander into his changing room.
NAKED BUTLER FAQ
Do we need to tip?
No. Tips are optional and never added to your quote.
NAKED BUTLER FAQ
When should we book?
Weekend hen dates go quickly, so a few weeks ahead is sensible. Short-notice requests can often be met, and payment only follows once a butler is secured.
