The kitchen was adjacent to the monastery's refectory. Water supply and drainage were cleverly devised and in this picture you can see the stone channel that ran under the kitchen floor. In the wall ahead (left of centre) you can see a hole in the refectory wall. It has a semi-circular arch. This was in effect the serving hatch.
