Does he also take a £400 allowance as well or just spend what he wants?

This is the key point in my mind - what does he spend/take per month.

My DH is our sole earner at the mo & generally our higher earner.
We're in euros at the mo.
I take 350 out of the joint account each week.
He gets 75euro - this covers commute and a about 20extra for coffees etc.
35euro goes to our cleaner/babysitter
25euro gardener
10euro toddler class

That leaves 250euro for food, toiletries, gifts, clothes, haircuts, takeaways, meals/nights out etc for all of us

A lump sum extra comes out for Xmas & holidays are paid separate from this

OH and I both budget £200 per month each for personal spends - clothes, hobbies, hair appointments etc. Entertainment comes out of our joint household income as does holidays, bills, house and car maintenance, gifts etc. My mobile and our joint gym membership also comes out of joint funds. £400 seems a lot but if you can afford it and OH is happy with that then there should not be a problem. Does he also get £400?
