Kitchen Linen In Broad Green On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Broad Green sits on the CR0 round, 7 days, 14.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with West Croydon, Croydon and Thornton Heath — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the service entrances around West Croydon — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 14.2 miles buys you.
• 104 kitchens around CR0 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

We size the brigade before quoting, not after the first complaint.

• Every section is sized at setup — larder and pastry do not wear through jackets at the same rate, and the count reflects that.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — a phone call to your account manager, not a reorder.
• Garments are named — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

Yes — the CR0 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• Timed around West Croydon and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — holidays and sickness are the usual cause of a missed slot elsewhere; here the slot travels with the round sheet.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Broad Green in August and Broad Green in January are different kitchens, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will size your brigade while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no Broad Green section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Broad Green kitchens run half and half.

• Hire — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Broad Green, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hire what nobody reads, keep your own name on the whites.
• You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — and their own temperature.
• Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — and that separation is the whole reason ours stay white.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — from collection to the rail, so the coding still means something when it comes back.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

It is quoted, not tariffed. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Broad Green before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Broad Green kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

Yes. Contract catering, schools and care homes are all on the rounds.

• 22 school kitchens around CR0 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 7 care home kitchens nearby — where consistency matters more than turnaround speed, and the account is set up for that.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Croydon, not as separate customers.
