Kitchen Linen In Pangbourne Collected To Schedule

Yes — Pangbourne sits on the RG8 round, 7 days, 34.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Tidmarsh, Purley on Thames and Tilehurst — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Pangbourne — which matters when the drop has to miss prep by half an hour.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.
• 16 kitchens around RG8 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

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

• 3 school kitchens around RG8 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
• Contract caterers running several sites — keep one invoice and one point of contact however many kitchens are on it.

We size the brigade before quoting, not after the first complaint.

• 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 Pangbourne change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• 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.

Outside both, because prep is the window most suppliers hit.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Pangbourne 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 — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no Pangbourne section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

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

• Hire — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Pangbourne, 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.

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 — and that separation is the whole reason ours stay white.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• 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 Pangbourne before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• The count includes your busy season — a Pangbourne kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
