Restaurant Linen In Eton Collected On Round

54 restaurants in Eton sit inside the area we already collect from, 14.8 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 38 cafés and 25 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Windsor, Datchet and Slough — one vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a kitchen here without adding a journey, and why the price does not carry a delivery surcharge.
• 7 days collections, on a fixed day and time that does not drift week to week.
• a 14.8-mile round trip is short enough that a missed collection is recovered on the next run, not the next week.

Four different problems, four different answers. Grease needs heat, wine needs speed, wax needs lifting cold — a supplier running everything on one cycle returns you the average of all three.

• Items are sorted before washing, not after. Sorting after the wash is too late; the grease has already moved.
• Marked items are pulled at the check stage and re-treated before they go back out. Most recover; the ones that do not are replaced from stock rather than returned to you to notice.
• Wax is lifted before wash, because heat drives it into the weave and fixes it there for good.

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, sized and named where you want them named, so they go straight to the changing area rather than onto a pile.
• 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 account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across Windsor and Maidenhead are the norm rather than the exception, and the round does not change — only the drop list does.

• 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.

Never during service. Your SL4 slot is fixed when the account opens, so it is a standing appointment rather than a window someone assigns you on the day.

• Access around Windsor and Eton Riverside 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 — the plant is 14.8 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.

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 Eton — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
• Reviewed after a full month and changed if the first number was wrong. It often is, in both directions.
• Seasonal swing is expected — SL4 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 SL4 round collects both the same way and on the same docket.

• Owned stock stays yours. We do not buy it off you at a discount to simplify the paperwork.
• Hire covers replacement — the cost of a cloth reaching the end of its life sits with us, not with you.
• Most Eton accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

No minimum order. Eton 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 to keep the price you were quoted — the rate does not change if you have a quiet January.
• 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.
