Commercial Linen In Hooley Collected On Round

Yes — Hooley sits on the CR5 round, 19.1 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 2 cafés and 2 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Woodmansterne, Chipstead and Coulsdon — the round already passes, so you are joining a journey rather than paying for a new one.
• 7 days collections, on a fixed day and time that does not drift week to week.
• a 19.1-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.

It depends entirely on the mark. Oil, wine and wax behave differently in a wash, and treating them the same is how cloths come back looking tired after a season.

• 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.

Front of house and back of house, one collection. Whites and cloths travel with the tablecloths, on one docket and one bill.

• Whites come back on hangers, ready to hang up — which is the only state a chef jacket is useful in.
• Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — so nothing needs sorting at the pass during setup.
• Sizes are held in stock, so hiring someone does not mean borrowing a jacket two sizes out.

Yes, and it usually costs less. Sites on the same Reigate and Banstead rounds share the journey, which is the whole reason a group rate exists.

• 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 on one invoice, itemised by site — one number for finance, the detail for whoever asks.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Before the doors, not during them. The CR5 round is planned around service times, which is the difference between a supplier who works here and one who merely delivers here.

• Deliveries land before the doors open, so setup starts with a full cupboard instead of a count of what survived last night.
• If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — the plant is 19.1 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.

The weekend sets the level. Stock that only just covers midweek runs out exactly when the room is full and nobody has time to notice.

• We count a real week in Hooley — because the figure that matters is what you actually get through, not what you ordered.
• Reviewed after a full month and changed if the first number was wrong. It often is, in both directions.
• Seasonal swing is expected — CR5 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Whichever suits the item. We hire and we wash-only, and the CR5 round does not care which is in the bag.

• 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 — wear, loss and staining are ours to carry rather than a line that appears on your invoice each quarter.
• Most Hooley accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

No, and no tie-in either. A 24-cover room in Hooley is a stop on an existing run, not a trip we have to justify.

• Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same run, and a 24-cover room is priced on what it actually uses.
• No tie-in and no volume threshold attached to the quote. The price you agree is the price at any volume.
• 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.
