Small rooms where pot goes! (8)

I believe the answer is:

pantries

'small rooms' is the definition.
(a pantry is a small room or cupboard for food)

'pot goes' is the wordplay.
'pot' becomes 'pan' (I've seen this in other clues).
'goes' becomes 'tries' ().
'pan'+'tries'='PANTRIES'

'where' is the link.

(Another definition for pantries that I've seen is " Larders".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
