fitting a butler sink in my garage
 

I'm fitting a butler sink but due to space restrictions the sink will go hard
against the wall and taps at the end. Just questioning which is the best end?
the one closest to the overflow and plug or do I turn the sink 180 degrees so
its the other end? this would mean its closed to the waste outlet

With those options, logic would put the taps at the opposite end from the plug hole. That way, any muck in the bottom of the sink has a greater tendency to be flushed away without having to sweep the water around with your hand (or other implement), or having to direct the water jet (if you have a hose/spray head arrangement, which I would recommend).

I agree that seems to make sense. But when I had one, it had been fitted with taps and drain at same end.

I suggest you think about how you are going to use it. Things like using a washing-up bowl, running water until it gets hot, etc.

I also suggest considering one of the pipe-overflow type of plugs.

But the vast majority of double bowl stainless steel kitchen
sinks have the plug hole at the same end as the taps.

Not sure about vast majority - a lot have plug holes more or less central in each bowl.

What is rare in such sinks is a plug hole at the opposite end of a sink bowl to the tap.
