Chef Whites In Nutfield On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Nutfield sits on the RH1 round, 7 days, 23.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Bletchingley, Redhill and Earlswood — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Nutfield — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
• 5 kitchens around RH1 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

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

• 1 school kitchens around RH1 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — the par count moves with the calendar.
• 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 Tandridge, not as separate customers.

Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong, so we do it on site.

• Every section is sized at setup — not estimated from a headcount.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Nutfield 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 — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

Yes — the RH1 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Nutfield because that is where the delay actually happens.
• 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.

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

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
• 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 — without reopening the account or renegotiating anything.

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 — and that separation is the whole reason ours stay white.
• 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 — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

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

• We count a real week in Nutfield before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — a two-section Nutfield kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Nutfield 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.
