Restaurant Linen In Penge Collected On Round

21 restaurants in Penge sit inside the area we already collect from, 14.0 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 34 cafés and 17 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Sydenham, Anerley and Crystal Palace — the round already passes, so you are joining a journey rather than paying for a new one.
• 7 days collections, on a fixed day and time that does not drift week to week.
• a 14.0-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.

It depends entirely on the mark. Oil, wine and wax behave differently in a wash, and treating them the same is how cloths come back looking tired after a season.

• 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 and re-treated before they go back out. Most recover; the ones that do not are replaced from stock rather than returned to you to notice.
• Wax is lifted before wash, because heat drives it into the weave and fixes it there for good.

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, not folded into a bag for someone to iron again before service.
• 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.

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

• Each site keeps its own par level. A 30-cover bistro and a 200-cover brasserie should not carry the same stock, and averaging them is how one site runs short every weekend.
• 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.

Outside service, both ways. The SE20 slot is agreed before the account opens and does not move week to week — it is a fixed place on a round, not a two-hour window that lands mid-lunch.

• Access around Penge West 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 — the plant is 14.0 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.

Par is set to your busiest service, not your average one. A stock level built around a Tuesday fails on a Saturday, which is the night it matters.

• We count a real week in Penge — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
• Reviewed after a full month and changed if the first number was wrong. It often is, in both directions.
• Seasonal swing is expected — SE20 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Both, and most Penge accounts run both. Hired table linen where volume is high, owned whites where the branding matters.

• Owned stock stays yours. What you bought, you keep — including the items we would not have chosen.
• Hire covers replacement — wear, loss and staining are ours to carry rather than a line that appears on your invoice each quarter.
• Most Penge 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. Penge already is, so the question is what you use, not how much.

• 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.
