Chef Whites In Horton On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Horton sits on the TW19 round, 7 days, 13.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Wraysbury, Colnbrook and Datchet — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Sunnymeads and Wraysbury — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Horton is only 13.0 miles out.
• 6 kitchens around TW19 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Horton before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

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

• 1 school kitchens around TW19 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — a quiet August is expected, not penalised.
• 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.

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

• 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 Horton 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 — once we have seen a real Horton month rather than a first guess.

Yes — the TW19 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• Timed around Sunnymeads so the van is not arriving into the worst of 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 — 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 — 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 — so no Horton 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 Horton kitchens run half and half.

• 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 — the embroidery matters on the jacket, rarely on the oven cloth.
• You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — and their own temperature.
• 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 — from collection to the rail, so the coding still means something when it comes back.
• Every load is temperature logged — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.
