Chef Whites In Littlewick Green On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Littlewick Green sits on the SL6 round, 7 days, 22.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Knowl Hill, White Waltham and Hurley — 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 Littlewick Green is only 22.1 miles out.
• 10 kitchens around SL6 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

Always. Kitchen work never follows table linen through the machine.

• 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 — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.

It is quoted, not tariffed. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Littlewick Green 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 Littlewick Green kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — and commit you to nothing.

Yes, and they are not an afterthought on a restaurant round.

• 4 school kitchens around SL6 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — a quiet August is expected, not penalised.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.

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

• Every section is sized at setup — larder and pastry do not wear through jackets at the same rate, and the count reflects that.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Littlewick Green 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 Littlewick Green month rather than a first guess.

That is the point of putting Littlewick Green on the SL6 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• 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 — 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 — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• 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 — most problems are a wrong par count or a wrong delivery window, and both are fixable without changing supplier.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Littlewick Green kitchens run half and half.

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Littlewick Green, 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.
