Butler's pantry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A butler's pantry is a utility room in a large house. It is usually located adjacent to the kitchen or to the wine cellar and usually contains counters (benches in British English) or tables and sinks.

Common uses for the butler's pantry are storage, cleaning and counting of silver, etc. The wine log and merchant's account books may be kept in the butler's pantry. The room is used by the butler and other domestic staff; it is called a butler's pantry even in households where there is no butler.
