Table Linen In Otford Collected To Schedule

3 restaurants in Otford sit inside the area we already collect from, 26.8 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 4 cafés and 2 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Sevenoaks, West Kingsdown and Pratts Bottom — they sit on the same run, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles — and that is what keeps a small account viable here.
• 7 days collections, on a fixed day and time that does not drift week to week.
• a 26.8-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.

Four different problems, four different answers. Grease needs heat, wine needs speed, wax needs lifting cold — a supplier running everything on one cycle returns you the average of all three.

• Items are sorted before washing, not after. Mixing table linen with kitchen cloths is the single fastest way to grey a white.
• Marked items are pulled at the check stage so the decision about whether a cloth is still good enough is ours, not yours at 6pm.
• Wax is lifted before wash, cold and mechanically — a hot cycle is what makes candle wax permanent.

Yes — and on the same visit. Splitting linen and workwear across two suppliers is how one of them ends up late.

• Whites come back on hangers, sized and named where you want them named, so they go straight to the changing area rather than onto a pile.
• Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — because sorting a mixed bag at 5pm is nobody's job.
• Sizes are held in stock, so hiring someone does not mean borrowing a jacket two sizes out.

Yes, and it usually costs less. Sites on the same Sevenoaks rounds share the journey, which is the whole reason a group rate exists.

• Each site keeps its own par level. Sites are sized individually, because an average across two very different rooms is wrong for both.
• Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown, so a head office sees one number and each kitchen still sees its own.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Never during service. Your TN14 slot is fixed when the account opens, so it is a standing appointment rather than a window someone assigns you on the day.

• Access around Otford is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day. Loading restrictions and one-way systems are the reason most suppliers drift late here.
• Deliveries land before the doors open, so the team lays up with what arrived that morning rather than what was left in the cupboard.
• If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — a 26.8-mile plant means the fix is hours away rather than days.

The weekend sets the level. Stock that only just covers midweek runs out exactly when the room is full and nobody has time to notice.

• We count a real week in Otford — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, and how many cloths a turn actually costs you rather than what the last supplier's sheet said.
• Reviewed after a full month of live usage and adjusted, with no renegotiation and no change fee.
• Seasonal swing is expected — TN14 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Whichever suits the item. We hire and we wash-only, and the TN14 round does not care which is in the bag.

• Owned stock stays yours. Nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look tidier, and you keep every item you already paid for.
• Hire covers replacement — the cost of a cloth reaching the end of its life sits with us, not with you.
• Most Otford accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

Nothing is too small if you are on the round. Otford already is, so the question is what you use, not how much.

• Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants and are priced the same way: on usage, not on category.
• No tie-in and no volume threshold attached to the quote. The price you agree is the price at any volume.
• Growing later is a par-level change, not a renegotiation — adding a second flat does not reopen the contract.
• No exit fee. If it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock.
