Those supplying provisions
Victuallers is the plural of victualler, a person or establishment that supplies food and provisions.
The word appears most often in British English, where a licensed victualler holds a permit to sell alcohol—essentially a pub owner or innkeeper.
The spelling victualers is also used.
The word is pronounced "VITT-lers," the silent C a relic of its Latin origins.
