larders

Provisions storage rooms

Larders is the plural of larder, a room or large cupboard for storing food, especially in a home.

Before refrigeration, larders were essential for keeping perishables cool: The larders were stocked for winter.

The word now sounds old-fashioned, though it persists in British English and period fiction.
