Table Linen In Hythe Collected To Schedule

13 restaurants in Hythe sit inside the area we already collect from, 68.0 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 16 cafés and 9 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Folkestone and Hythe, Folkestone and Hawkinge — one vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a kitchen here without adding a journey, and why the price does not carry a delivery surcharge.
• 7 days collections, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
• a 68.0-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.

Kitchen soil is treated as kitchen soil. Grease, red wine, oil and candle wax each need a different combination of temperature, dwell time and chemistry, and no single programme gets all four out.

• 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, not melted through the fabric by a hot cycle, which is what sets it permanently.

Yes — and on the same visit. Splitting linen and workwear across two suppliers is how one of them ends up late.

• Whites come back on hangers, sized and named where you want them named, so they go straight to the changing area rather than onto a pile.
• Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — because sorting a mixed bag at 5pm is nobody's job.
• Sizes are held in stock, and a change of size is a phone call rather than a reorder.

One account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across Folkestone and Hythe are the norm rather than the exception, and the round does not change — only the drop list does.

• Each site keeps its own par level. Sites are sized individually, because an average across two very different rooms is wrong for both.
• Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown, so a head office sees one number and each kitchen still sees its own.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Outside service, both ways. The CT21 slot is agreed before the account opens and does not move week to week — it is a fixed place on a round, not a two-hour window that lands mid-lunch.

• Access around Hythe is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day. Loading restrictions and one-way systems are the reason most suppliers drift late here.
• Deliveries land before the doors open, which is the difference between laying up calmly and laying up at speed.
• If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — the plant is 68.0 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 Hythe — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
• Reviewed after a full month and changed if the first number was wrong. It often is, in both directions.
• Seasonal swing is expected — CT21 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Either, and mixed accounts are normal. Hire from us, or we launder stock you already own — the CT21 round collects both the same way and on the same docket.

• Owned stock stays yours. What you bought, you keep — including the items we would not have chosen.
• Hire covers replacement — which is usually the larger number over a year, because linen wears out in public.
• Most Hythe accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

No minimum order. Hythe is already on the round, so a small account costs us a stop rather than a journey — which is exactly why some suppliers quote a minimum here and we do not.

• 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 to keep the price you were quoted — the rate does not change if you have a quiet January.
• 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.
