Chef Whites In Burstow Collected To Schedule

Yes — Burstow sits on the RH6 round, 7 days, 28.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Smallfield, Outwood and Horley — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 28.2 miles buys you.
• 4 kitchens around RH6 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

It is quoted, not tariffed. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Burstow before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• The count includes your busy season — a Burstow kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.

Yes — catering kitchens are a large part of what we collect.

• 2 school kitchens around RH6 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
• Contract caterers running several sites — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.

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 Burstow change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — and again after your first busy season, which is where opening figures usually fail.

Yes — the RH6 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• A drop in the middle of prep is a drop nobody can receive. The round is sequenced around that.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
• 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 — we will size your brigade while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no Burstow 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. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
• 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 — 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 — through the whole process.
• Every load is temperature logged — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.
