Kitchen Linen In Kingswood On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Kingswood sits on the KT20 round, 7 days, 18.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Burgh Heath, Tadworth and Walton on the Hill — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Kingswood — 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.
• 19 kitchens around KT20 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Kingswood, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hire what nobody reads, keep your own name on the whites.
• You can move a line between the two later — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.

Yes — kitchen soil is classified separately from front of house.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — and their own temperature.
• Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — that transfer is what dulls a brigade's whites inside a month.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• 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 Kingswood before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
• No minimum order — so a small kitchen is a normal account.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• 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.

• 1 school kitchens around KT20 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 4 care home kitchens nearby — with the same named-garment handling.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
• Contract caterers running several sites — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.

Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong, so we do it on site.

• 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 Kingswood change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — which takes the sorting job off the pass entirely.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Kingswood month rather than a first guess.

That is the point of putting Kingswood on the KT20 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Kingswood 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 — 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 — Kingswood in August and Kingswood 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 — you are never between suppliers.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.
