Restaurant Linen In Greenwich Collected On Round

80 restaurants in Greenwich sit inside the area we already collect from, 13.1 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 91 cafés and 39 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Millwall, Cubitt Town and Isle of Dogs — 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 13.1-mile round trip is short enough that a missed collection is recovered on the next run, not the next week.

Kitchen soil is treated as kitchen soil. Grease, red wine, oil and candle wax each need a different combination of temperature, dwell time and chemistry, and no single programme gets all four out.

• 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, because heat drives it into the weave and fixes it there for good.

Same round, same invoice. Chef jackets, aprons, trousers, oven cloths and kitchen cloths are collected with the table linen — there is no second supplier and no second delivery day to remember.

• 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, so hiring someone does not mean borrowing a jacket two sizes out.

One account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across Greenwich 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. A 30-cover bistro and a 200-cover brasserie should not carry the same stock, and averaging them is how one site runs short every weekend.
• 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 SE10 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 Mudchute 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 — a 13.1-mile plant means the fix is hours away rather than days.

Par is set to your busiest service, not your average one. A stock level built around a Tuesday fails on a Saturday, which is the night it matters.

• We count a real week in Greenwich — 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 — SE10 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 SE10 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 Greenwich accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

No minimum order. Greenwich 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.
