Kitchen Linen In Sevenoaks Collected To Schedule

Yes — Sevenoaks sits on the TN13 round, 7 days, 28.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Otford, Brasted and Hildenborough — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Sevenoaks — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your back door.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.
• 63 kitchens around TN13 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Sevenoaks before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — a two-section Sevenoaks kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Sevenoaks kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — and commit you to nothing.

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

• 14 school kitchens around TN13 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 3 care home kitchens nearby — with the same named-garment handling.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• 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 — not estimated from a headcount.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — rather than waiting for an order cycle.
• Garments are named — so nobody is sorting a mixed box at the start of a shift.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — and again after your first busy season, which is where opening figures usually fail.

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

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Sevenoaks because that is where the delay actually happens.
• 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 — holidays and sickness are the usual cause of a missed slot elsewhere; here the slot travels with the round sheet.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Sevenoaks in August and Sevenoaks in January are different kitchens, and the account should say so.
• 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 — the two overlap by design.
• If it is not working, say so — most problems are a wrong par count or a wrong delivery window, and both are fixable without changing supplier.

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

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hire what nobody reads, keep your own name on the whites.
• You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — and their own temperature.
• Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — which is the usual reason jackets go grey.
• 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 — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.
