Kitchen Linen In New Romney Collected To Schedule

Yes — New Romney sits on the TN28 round, 7 days, 66.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Lydd, Dymchurch and Hamstreet — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 66.3 miles buys you.
• 26 kitchens around TN28 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

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 — a phone call to your account manager, not a reorder.
• 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 TN28 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, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
• 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 — we will size your brigade while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of New Romney kitchens run half and half.

• 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 — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

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

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — grease lifts at a different temperature from protein, and scorch responds to neither.
• 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 — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in New Romney 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 — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

Yes. Contract catering, schools and care homes are all on the rounds.

• 2 school kitchens around TN28 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• 4 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 — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.
