Table Linen In Pangbourne Collected To Schedule

3 restaurants in Pangbourne sit inside the area we already collect from, 34.8 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 3 cafés and 6 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Tidmarsh, Purley on Thames and Tilehurst — 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, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
• a 34.8-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.

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. A tablecloth and an oven cloth never share a load — that is how cloths come back grey.
• Marked items are pulled at the check stage rather than sent back for you to find. Re-treatment first, replacement only if it fails.
• Wax is lifted before wash, cold and mechanically — a hot cycle is what makes candle wax permanent.

Front of house and back of house, one collection. Whites and cloths travel with the tablecloths, on one docket and one bill.

• 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 — so nothing needs sorting at the pass during setup.
• Sizes are held in stock, so hiring someone does not mean borrowing a jacket two sizes out.

One contact for all of them. Running several West Berkshire sites through one account is the common case here, not a special arrangement.

• Each site keeps its own par level. The busy site gets the depth it needs without the quiet one paying for stock it never uses.
• Consolidated billing that shows the total and the split, so nobody has to reconcile it by hand.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Before the doors, not during them. The RG8 round is planned around service times, which is the difference between a supplier who works here and one who merely delivers here.

• Access around Pangbourne 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 setup starts with a full cupboard instead of a count of what survived last night.
• If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — we come back the same day. At 34.8 miles that is a decision, not a logistics exercise.

We size the account on your peak. Averaging a quiet Tuesday with a full Saturday produces a number that is wrong on both nights.

• We count a real week in Pangbourne — 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 once there is real data rather than a first guess — at no cost either way.
• Seasonal swing is expected — RG8 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 RG8 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 Pangbourne accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

No minimum order. Pangbourne is already on the round, so a small account costs us a stop rather than a journey — which is exactly why some suppliers quote a minimum here and we do not.

• Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same run, and a 24-cover room is priced on what it actually uses.
• No tie-in and no volume threshold to keep the price you were quoted — the rate does not change if you have a quiet January.
• 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.
