Commercial Linen In Peaslake Collected To Schedule

Yes — Peaslake sits on the GU5 round, 7 days, 26.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Holmbury St Mary, Abinger Hammer and Gomshall — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

Tell your account manager and collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Peaslake cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it on two predictable days, which is a counting problem rather than a volume one.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same GU5 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• If the kitchen is the bigger half — see restaurant laundry for how a kitchen-led account is priced.

That is the point of putting Peaslake on the GU5 round rather than a separate trip. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• A mid-morning drop missed the shift it was for. We schedule against your opening time, not ours.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — the programme is chosen for them, not inherited.
• Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — past a point, heat bonds the protein to the cloth.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a winter volume you do not use in August.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.

No minimum, on any line. A single-site independent cafe in Peaslake is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same GU5 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Peaslake.
• A dozen aprons and a bundle of tea towels is a real account — not something we surcharge.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Peaslake and a busy July are the same account.

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

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
• Plenty of cafes do both — branding matters on the apron, rarely on the tea towel behind the counter.
