Chef Whites In Normandy Collected To Schedule

Yes — Normandy sits on the GU3 round, 7 days, 27.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Ash Green, Wanborough and Ash — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Wanborough — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your back door.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.
• 1 kitchens around GU3 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

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

• 1 school kitchens around GU3 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 — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Guildford, 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 — 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 GU3 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Wanborough so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• 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 — 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 — 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 — so no Normandy 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 Normandy kitchens run half and half.

• Hire — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
• 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.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• 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 — 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.
