Kitchen Linen In Haggerston On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Haggerston sits on the E2 round, 7 days, 9.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with De Beauvoir Town, Hoxton and Dalston — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Dalston Junction, Old Street and Haggerston — 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 Haggerston is only 9.2 miles out.
• 443 kitchens around E2 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

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 — we will size your brigade while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no Haggerston section starts a shift without whites.
• 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. Plenty of Haggerston kitchens run half and half.

• Hire — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
• Wash-only — your own embroidered jackets come back to you, the same garments, named, not pooled.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hired cloths and aprons, own-branded jackets on wash-only.
• 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 — which is the usual reason jackets go grey.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — through the whole process.
• Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

It is quoted, not tariffed. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Haggerston before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
• No minimum order — a two-section Haggerston kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• 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.

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

• 17 school kitchens around E2 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 — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — keep one invoice and one point of contact however many kitchens are on it.

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

• Every section is sized at setup — not estimated from a headcount.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Haggerston change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Haggerston month rather than a first guess.

That is the point of putting Haggerston on the E2 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Dalston Junction 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.
