Kitchen Linen In Limehouse On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Limehouse sits on the E14 round, 7 days, 11.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Ratcliff, Stepney and Shadwell — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Wapping, Shadwell and Stepney Green — 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, which is what 11.1 miles buys you.
• 246 kitchens around E14 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

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 Limehouse 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 — and commit you to nothing.

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

• 39 school kitchens around E14 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 15 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 — keep one invoice and one point of contact however many kitchens are on it.

In person, section by section — not off a headcount.

• 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 — rather than waiting for an order cycle.
• Garments are named — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

Yes — the E14 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 Wapping 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 — 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 — there is no cost to finding out.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.
• 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. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• 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.

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 — 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.
