Restaurant Linen In Folkestone Collected To Schedule

54 restaurants in Folkestone sit inside the area we already collect from, 71.2 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 34 cafés and 25 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Folkestone and Hythe, Hawkinge and Hythe — the round already passes, so you are joining a journey rather than paying for a new one.
• 7 days collections, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
• a 71.2-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. Sorting after the wash is too late; the grease has already moved.
• Marked items are pulled at the check stage so the decision about whether a cloth is still good enough is ours, not yours at 6pm.
• Wax is lifted before wash, cold and mechanically — a hot cycle is what makes candle wax permanent.

Front of house and back of house, one collection. Whites and cloths travel with the tablecloths, on one docket and one bill.

• 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 — so the right cloth is where it should be before service starts.
• Sizes are held in stock, so a new starter on Monday is not waiting until the following week for a jacket that fits.

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

• Each site keeps its own par level. Sites are sized individually, because an average across two very different rooms is wrong for both.
• Consolidated billing that shows the total and the split, so nobody has to reconcile it by hand.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Never during service. Your CT20 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 Folkestone Central 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 71.2 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 Folkestone — 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 — CT20 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 CT20 round collects both the same way and on the same docket.

• Owned stock stays yours. What you bought, you keep — including the items we would not have chosen.
• Hire covers replacement — wear, loss and staining are ours to carry rather than a line that appears on your invoice each quarter.
• Most Folkestone accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

No, and no tie-in either. A 24-cover room in Folkestone is a stop on an existing run, not a trip we have to justify.

• Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same run, and a 24-cover room is priced on what it actually uses.
• 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.
