Kitchen Linen In Honor Oak Park On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Honor Oak Park sits on the SE23 round, 7 days, 12.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Crofton Park, Forest Hill and Brockley — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Catford, Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park — 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.
• 98 kitchens around SE23 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a summer volume you do not use in February.
• 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 — hired cloths and aprons, own-branded jackets on wash-only.
• You can move a line between the two later — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• 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.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Honor Oak Park before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — so a small kitchen is a normal account.
• 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 — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.

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

• 26 school kitchens around SE23 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 2 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 — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.

In person, section by section — not off a headcount.

• 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 Honor Oak Park 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.

That is the point of putting Honor Oak Park on the SE23 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Catford because that is where the delay actually happens.
• 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 — so cover weeks do not become the weeks it goes wrong.
