Kitchen Linen In Brook Green Back Before Prep

Yes — Brook Green sits on the W6 round, 7 days, 5.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Hammersmith, Barons Court and West Kensington — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Shepherd's Bush Market, Barons Court and Ravenscourt Park — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, because Brook Green is only 5.4 miles out.
• 398 kitchens around W6 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

In person, section by section — not off a headcount.

• Every section is sized at setup — not estimated from a headcount.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Brook Green change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — so nobody is sorting a mixed box at the start of a shift.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Brook Green month rather than a first guess.

Outside both, because prep is the window most suppliers hit.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Shepherd's Bush Market so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — the timing is a property of the account, not of one driver remembering it.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a summer volume you do not use in February.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — there is no cost to finding out.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.
• If it is not working, say so — most problems are a wrong par count or a wrong delivery window, and both are fixable without changing supplier.

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

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — your own embroidered jackets come back to you, the same garments, named, not pooled.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hired cloths and aprons, own-branded jackets on wash-only.
• You can move a line between the two later — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — one cycle cannot serve all three, which is why a general programme leaves all three behind.
• Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — which is the usual reason jackets go grey.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Brook Green before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Brook Green kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Brook Green kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

Yes, and they are not an afterthought on a restaurant round.

• 32 school kitchens around W6 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 5 care home kitchens nearby — sites that need an audit trail get colour-coded cloths and named whites as standard.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Hammersmith and Fulham, not as separate customers.
