Kitchen Linen In Fulwell On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Fulwell sits on the TW11 round, 7 days, 9.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Strawberry Hill, Teddington and Hampton Hill — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Strawberry Hill, Fulwell and Teddington — which matters when the drop has to miss prep by half an hour.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
• 146 kitchens around TW11 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

Yes — kitchen soil is classified separately from front of house.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — grease lifts at a different temperature from protein, and scorch responds to neither.
• 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 — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Fulwell before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — so a small kitchen is a normal account.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.

Yes, and they are not an afterthought on a restaurant round.

• 16 school kitchens around TW11 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 3 care home kitchens nearby — sites that need an audit trail get colour-coded cloths and named whites as standard.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Richmond upon Thames, not as separate customers.

We size the brigade before quoting, not after the first complaint.

• Every section is sized at setup — larder and pastry do not wear through jackets at the same rate, and the count reflects that.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Fulwell 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 — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

Yes — the TW11 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Strawberry Hill and the traffic that comes with it.
• 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 — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• 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 — 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.
