According to the online advert, prospective candidates “must love gin” and need at least three years of gin drinking behind them (tick and tick) as owner Andrew Kettlewell tells the BBC he is looking for someone who remembers the days before every town had a micro-distillery on the corner and bars had separate gin menus:

“We require three years or more experience as new age drinkers only see the gin boom as the norm, whereas experienced 'gin swillers' will understand that only a few years ago, everyone just associated Gordon's as pretty much the sole gin company and have seen it develop.”

The ad continues: “The right applicant shall need to be a natural entertainer and must love gin and to be the centre of attention.”

Who wants to be a gin butler? It's a real job and we all want it
