Chef Whites In Hampstead Norreys Collected To Schedule

Yes — Hampstead Norreys sits on the RG18 round, 7 days, 41.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Frilsham, Aldworth and Ashampstead — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because Hampstead Norreys is only 41.5 miles out.
• 3 kitchens around RG18 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

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

• 1 school kitchens around RG18 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — a quiet August is expected, not penalised.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.

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 Hampstead Norreys 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.

Outside both, because prep is the window most suppliers hit.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• A drop in the middle of prep is a drop nobody can receive. The round is sequenced around that.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — the timing is a property of the account, not of one driver remembering it.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Hampstead Norreys in August and Hampstead Norreys 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 — so no Hampstead Norreys section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Hampstead Norreys kitchens run half and half.

• Hire — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Hampstead Norreys, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — the embroidery matters on the jacket, rarely on the oven cloth.
• You can move a line between the two later — without reopening the account or renegotiating anything.

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 — that transfer is what dulls a brigade's whites inside a month.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• Every load is temperature logged — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.

It is quoted, not tariffed. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Hampstead Norreys before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
• No minimum order — a two-section Hampstead Norreys kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Hampstead Norreys kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
