Chef Whites In Puttenham Collected To Schedule

Yes — Puttenham sits on the GU3 round, 7 days, 28.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Wanborough, Compton and Ash Green — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.
• 6 kitchens around GU3 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to 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 — we will size your brigade while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no Puttenham section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.

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

• Hire — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
• Wash-only — your own embroidered jackets come back to you, the same garments, named, not pooled.
• 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 — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.

Yes — kitchen soil is classified separately from front of house.

• 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 — from collection to the rail, so the coding still means something when it comes back.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Puttenham 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 — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

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

• 1 school kitchens around GU3 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 2 care home kitchens nearby — sites that need an audit trail get colour-coded cloths and named whites as standard.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.

In person, section by section — not off a headcount.

• Every section is sized at setup — larder and pastry do not wear through jackets at the same rate, and the count reflects that.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — rather than waiting for an order cycle.
• Garments are named — which takes the sorting job off the pass entirely.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

Yes — the GU3 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• A drop in the middle of prep is a drop nobody can receive. The round is sequenced around that.
• 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.
