Restaurant Linen In South Wimbledon Collected On Round

53 restaurants in South Wimbledon sit inside the area we already collect from, 11.0 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 45 cafés and 20 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Merton Park, Colliers Wood and Mitcham — the round already passes, so you are joining a journey rather than paying for a new one.
• 7 days collections, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
• an 11.0-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.

Kitchen soil is treated as kitchen soil. Grease, red wine, oil and candle wax each need a different combination of temperature, dwell time and chemistry, and no single programme gets all four out.

• Items are sorted before washing, not after. Sorting after the wash is too late; the grease has already moved.
• 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, not melted through the fabric by a hot cycle, which is what sets it permanently.

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 — so the right cloth is where it should be before service starts.
• Sizes are held in stock, and a change of size is a phone call rather than a reorder.

Yes, and it usually costs less. Sites on the same Merton rounds share the journey, which is the whole reason a group rate exists.

• Each site keeps its own par level. Sites are sized individually, because an average across two very different rooms is wrong for both.
• Consolidated billing on one invoice, itemised by site — one number for finance, the detail for whoever asks.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Before the doors, not during them. The SW19 round is planned around service times, which is the difference between a supplier who works here and one who merely delivers here.

• Access around Wimbledon 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, which is the difference between laying up calmly and laying up at speed.
• If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — we come back the same day. At 11.0 miles that is a decision, not a logistics exercise.

The weekend sets the level. Stock that only just covers midweek runs out exactly when the room is full and nobody has time to notice.

• We count a real week in South Wimbledon — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
• Reviewed after a full month once there is real data rather than a first guess — at no cost either way.
• Seasonal swing is expected — SW19 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

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

• Owned stock stays yours. Nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look tidier, and you keep every item you already paid for.
• Hire covers replacement — which is usually the larger number over a year, because linen wears out in public.
• Most South Wimbledon accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

No, and no tie-in either. A 24-cover room in South Wimbledon is a stop on an existing run, not a trip we have to justify.

• 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.
