Today, the Lodge’s Stewards are responsible for the provision of food and drink for Lodge meals.
Appointment as a Steward is often the first step in a Brother’s progress through the Lodge Offices.
However, in the past, Stewards also played roles in Lodge ceremonies and rituals, and today there are the prestigious Grand Stewards’ Lodge in London and special Lodges for Provincial Grand Stewards, who perform important tasks at the meetings of Provincial Grand Lodges, such as welcoming distinguished visitors arriving from the Grand Lodge at the Installation of a new Provincial Grand Master.
