Chef Whites In Farnham Royal On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Farnham Royal sits on the SL2 round, 7 days, 13.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Stoke Poges, Slough and Burnham — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
• 6 kitchens around SL2 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

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

• 3 school kitchens around SL2 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 1 care home kitchens nearby — with the same named-garment handling.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — keep one invoice and one point of contact however many kitchens are on it.

Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong, so we do it on site.

• Every section is sized at setup — including the sections that get through two a shift.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Farnham Royal 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 — and again after your first busy season, which is where opening figures usually fail.

That is the point of putting Farnham Royal on the SL2 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• A drop in the middle of prep is a drop nobody can receive. The round is sequenced around that.
• 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 — holidays and sickness are the usual cause of a missed slot elsewhere; here the slot travels with the round sheet.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Farnham Royal in August and Farnham Royal in January are different kitchens, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — your own embroidered jackets come back to you, the same garments, named, not pooled.
• 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.

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 — and that separation is the whole reason ours stay white.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — from collection to the rail, so the coding still means something when it comes back.
• 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 Farnham Royal before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• 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.
