Kitchen Linen In Hoxton On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Hoxton sits on the N1 round, 7 days, 8.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Haggerston, De Beauvoir Town and Shoreditch — 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 — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your back door.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Hoxton is only 8.9 miles out.
• 433 kitchens around N1 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Hoxton 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 — without reopening the account or renegotiating anything.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — grease lifts at a different temperature from protein, and scorch responds to neither.
• 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 — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

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 Hoxton before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• The count includes your busy season — a Hoxton kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• 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.

• 18 school kitchens around N1 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 1 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 — are handled as one account across Hackney, not as separate customers.

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 — rather than waiting for an order cycle.
• 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.

That is the point of putting Hoxton on the N1 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.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Hoxton in August and Hoxton 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 — the two overlap by design.
• If it is not working, say so — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.
