Kitchen Linen In Notting Hill Back Before Prep

Yes — Notting Hill sits on the W11 round, 7 days, 5.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Kensington Chelsea, Bayswater and Kensington — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around White City, Notting Hill Gate and Wood Lane — which matters when the drop has to miss prep by half an hour.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 5.0 miles buys you.
• 393 kitchens around W11 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

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 White City because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.
• 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 — so no Notting Hill 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. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Notting Hill, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• 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.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• 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 — which is the usual reason jackets go grey.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• Every load is temperature logged — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.

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 Notting Hill before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• 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.

• 9 school kitchens around W11 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 — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
• 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 — including the sections that get through two a shift.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Notting Hill change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — which takes the sorting job off the pass entirely.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Notting Hill month rather than a first guess.
