Restaurant Linen In Croydon Collected On Round

64 restaurants in Croydon sit inside the area we already collect from, 15.1 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 59 cafés and 29 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Addington, West Croydon and Broad Green — they sit on the same run, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles — and that is what keeps a small account viable here.
• 7 days collections, on a fixed day and time that does not drift week to week.
• a 15.1-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.

It depends entirely on the mark. Oil, wine and wax behave differently in a wash, and treating them the same is how cloths come back looking tired after a season.

• Items are sorted before washing, not after. A tablecloth and an oven cloth never share a load — that is how cloths come back grey.
• Marked items are pulled at the check stage rather than sent back for you to find. Re-treatment first, replacement only if it fails.
• Wax is lifted before wash, not melted through the fabric by a hot cycle, which is what sets it permanently.

Yes — and on the same visit. Splitting linen and workwear across two suppliers is how one of them ends up late.

• Whites come back on hangers, not folded into a bag for someone to iron again before service.
• Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — because sorting a mixed bag at 5pm is nobody's job.
• Sizes are held in stock, and a change of size is a phone call rather than a reorder.

One contact for all of them. Running several Croydon sites through one account is the common case here, not a special arrangement.

• Each site keeps its own par level. The busy site gets the depth it needs without the quiet one paying for stock it never uses.
• Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown, so a head office sees one number and each kitchen still sees its own.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Outside service, both ways. The CR0 slot is agreed before the account opens and does not move week to week — it is a fixed place on a round, not a two-hour window that lands mid-lunch.

• Access around West Croydon is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day. Loading restrictions and one-way systems are the reason most suppliers drift late here.
• Deliveries land before the doors open, which is the difference between laying up calmly and laying up at speed.
• If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — we come back the same day. At 15.1 miles that is a decision, not a logistics exercise.

We size the account on your peak. Averaging a quiet Tuesday with a full Saturday produces a number that is wrong on both nights.

• We count a real week in Croydon — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, and how many cloths a turn actually costs you rather than what the last supplier's sheet said.
• Reviewed after a full month once there is real data rather than a first guess — at no cost either way.
• Seasonal swing is expected — CR0 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Either, and mixed accounts are normal. Hire from us, or we launder stock you already own — the CR0 round collects both the same way and on the same docket.

• Owned stock stays yours. Nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look tidier, and you keep every item you already paid for.
• Hire covers replacement — the cost of a cloth reaching the end of its life sits with us, not with you.
• Most Croydon accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

No minimum order. Croydon is already on the round, so a small account costs us a stop rather than a journey — which is exactly why some suppliers quote a minimum here and we do not.

• Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same round — the vehicle does not care what is on the sign outside.
• No tie-in and no volume threshold — a slow month does not move you onto a worse rate.
• Growing later is a par-level change, not a renegotiation — adding a second flat does not reopen the contract.
• No exit fee. If it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock.
