Chef Whites In Leigh On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Leigh sits on the RH2 round, 7 days, 23.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Betchworth, Buckland and Brockham — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Leigh is only 23.9 miles out.
• 5 kitchens around RH2 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

Yes — catering kitchens are a large part of what we collect.

• 3 school kitchens around RH2 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — a quiet August is expected, not penalised.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Mole Valley, not as separate customers.

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 Leigh change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Leigh month rather than a first guess.

Yes — the RH2 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• A drop in the middle of prep is a drop nobody can receive. The round is sequenced around that.
• 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 — so cover weeks do not become the weeks it goes wrong.

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 — there is no cost to finding out.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no Leigh section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.

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

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — one cycle cannot serve all three, which is why a general programme leaves all three behind.
• 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 — through the whole process.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Leigh before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — a two-section Leigh kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Leigh kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
