Belgravia Super-Club The Pembroke Seeks 'Butter Sommelier' Ahead of Autumn Opening

The niche hire signals a push toward hyper‑specialised service in London’s members’ club scene.

Overview

  • The Pembroke placed adverts in Country Life (and on LinkedIn, per one report) for a butter sommelier to curate butters, train staff using a silver butter trolley, and bring an encyclopedic knowledge of toast.
  • The club is also hiring a sports tzar to manage nine billiards-room screens and a late-working matchmaker to connect members.
  • The venue is scheduled to open this autumn on Grosvenor Place in Belgravia, occupying the former home of Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell‑Bannerman across seven floors.
  • A source at The Pembroke said the specialist roles are paid positions, with salary details not disclosed.
  • Media reports describe the project as courting ultra‑wealthy members—with fees reported at £3,250 a year—and note rumoured Omani backing, reflecting a broader tilt toward curated, expert-led luxury offerings.
