Kitchen Linen In Burnham On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Burnham sits on the SL1 round, 7 days, 16.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Dorney, Bray and Farnham Royal — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Burnham — which matters when the drop has to miss prep by half an hour.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 16.1 miles buys you.
• 44 kitchens around SL1 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

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

• 10 school kitchens around SL1 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 4 care home kitchens nearby — with the same named-garment handling.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — keep one invoice and one point of contact however many kitchens are on it.

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

• Every section is sized at setup — not estimated from a headcount.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — a phone call to your account manager, not a reorder.
• 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 Burnham month rather than a first guess.

That is the point of putting Burnham on the SL1 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Burnham so the van is not arriving into the worst of 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 — 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 — Burnham in August and Burnham in January are different kitchens, and the account should say so.
• 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 — so no Burnham section starts a shift without whites.
• 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. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Burnham, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — the embroidery matters on the jacket, rarely on the oven cloth.
• You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Always. Kitchen work never follows table linen through the machine.

• 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 — that transfer is what dulls a brigade's whites inside a month.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Burnham before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — a two-section Burnham kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — which is where most estimates fall over; a figure taken in February will not survive August.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
