Kitchen Linen In Shepherds Bush Back Before Prep

Yes — Shepherds Bush sits on the W12 round, 7 days, 4.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with White City, Brook Green and Hammersmith Fulham — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Shepherd's Bush Market, Ravenscourt Park and White City — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your back door.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 4.6 miles buys you.
• 383 kitchens around W12 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

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

• Every section is sized at setup — including the sections that get through two a shift.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — a phone call to your account manager, not a reorder.
• Garments are named — which takes the sorting job off the pass entirely.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Shepherds Bush month rather than a first guess.

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 Shepherd's Bush Market because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — so cover weeks do not become the weeks it goes wrong.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a summer volume you do not use in February.
• 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 Shepherds Bush 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. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
• Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
• 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.

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 — that transfer is what dulls a brigade's whites inside a month.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — through the whole process.
• Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Shepherds Bush before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — so a small kitchen is a normal account.
• 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, and they are not an afterthought on a restaurant round.

• 40 school kitchens around W12 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 10 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 — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Hammersmith and Fulham, not as separate customers.
