Kitchen Sculleries and Walk-in Pantries

Kitchen sculleries and walk-in pantries are becoming more popular – as our kitchens extend into our living areas, and we want a place where the prep work can be done away from the main kitchen and entertaining area.

Sculleries also serve as a place to hide ‘working’ dishes while you are entertaining, and are a place to keep small appliances within easy reach, yet out of sight.

What was once a feature of large farm kitchens, or more recently, the well-heeled, sculleries are now more popular than ever among our clients – whether renovating, or building their brand new dream home.

Definition of ‘scullery’ (also known as a ‘Butler’s Pantry’):

A small room or section of a pantry…

• …in which food is cleaned, trimmed, and cut into cooking portions before being sent to the kitchen.
• … or kitchen in which cooking utensils are cleaned and stored.
