Chef Whites In Mayford On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Mayford sits on the GU22 round, 7 days, 22.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Old Woking, Worplesdon and Woking — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Worplesdon — 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 22.2 miles buys you.
• 11 kitchens around GU22 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

It is quoted, not tariffed. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Mayford before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• The count includes your busy season — a Mayford 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.

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

• 5 school kitchens around GU22 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 1 care home kitchens nearby — where consistency matters more than turnaround speed, and the account is set up for that.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Woking, not as separate customers.

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 Mayford 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 — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

Outside both, because prep is the window most suppliers hit.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• Timed around Worplesdon 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 — 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 — 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. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — your own embroidered jackets come back to you, the same garments, named, not pooled.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hired cloths and aprons, own-branded jackets on wash-only.
• You can move a line between the two later — without reopening the account or renegotiating anything.

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 — and that separation is the whole reason ours stay white.
• 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.
