    Good morning @Charlie996 what’s the difference between a Butler and Belfast sink? The truth is not a lot. The Belfast is just a type of sink once found in the Butler’s pantry. The butler was responsible for the best glassware and so forth, and so required a sink with a waste and an overflow.

    Some suggest that the London sink pattern, which was normally shallower and without an overflow, was used by butlers in London where water was in short supply:smile:
