What goes wrong
Three things that cost Sturry cafes a supplier
Cafes in Sturry rarely leave a supplier over price. They leave after a run of mornings that started badly.
-
Deliveries that land after opening
A cafe opens earlier than almost anything else on the street. A drop timed for mid-morning is a drop that missed the shift it was for, and in Sturry that means serving the first hours on yesterday's cloths.
-
Cloths that come back grey
Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food service. Washed on a general cycle they build up, whites go dull within weeks, and the counter is where it shows.
-
Running short on the busy day
Par counts set on a quiet Tuesday leave you short on Saturday. Most Sturry cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it twice a week.
How it works
Getting a Sturry cafe onto the round
Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the count and the timing right and the service stops being something you manage.
-
The count
We look at a real week in Sturry: how many aprons a shift gets through, what is still in the wash when you open, and which two days you run short.
Half an hour, on site
-
The round
CT2 already has a collection day. We fit you to it and agree a time that lands before opening rather than during it.
CT2 · 7 days
-
The switch
Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down, so there is never a morning with nothing clean on the shelf.
No gap in service
-
The account
A named account manager who knows your site and the CT2 round — not a ticket number and a call centre.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one site around Canterbury? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
Sturry cloths are not subcontracted
There are two buildings between your linen and ours, and we own both. Sturry collections run 63.0 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
What comes off a Sturry counter is not what comes out of a kitchen. Coffee oil and milk protein need their own cycle, and they get one — aprons and cloths are not run through whatever the machine was doing before.

A Sturry switch nobody behind the counter notices
The reason Sturry operators put up with a supplier they have stopped rating is timing: there is no good week to risk it. That is a scheduling problem, not a reason to stay.
- Before you commit
We count a real week, not an average one
Saturday out, Monday back, and the gap in between. That gap is where every shortage on the account comes from.
- The handover
Stock lands before the old supplier stops
The two contracts overlap on purpose. Sturry gets its first delivery while the old supplier is still collecting, so there is no morning in between.
- After
Par counts adjust once we have seen a month
Any first count is a guess. The difference is whether anyone comes back and corrects it — after four weeks, we do.
Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the quote cost nothing.
The week you switch is the week nobody notices.

We use dozens of salon towels and client gowns every day. Stubborn hair dye and product stains come out effortlessly and our capes still look new. They are an indispensable part of the daily flow here.
Chloe St. Laurent Salon Owner & Manager · Hair & beauty salon -
We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.
Hannah Sterling Studio Coordinator · Yoga & pilates studio -
From velvet seat throws to staff aprons and heavy bar towels, our eclectic mix of textiles is handled without fuss. The turnaround times and the account management are what stand out.
Kieran Davies Venue & Hospitality Manager · Boutique cinema & lounge -
As a family-run Victorian B&B we need a partner who understands traditional hospitality. Our heritage cotton sheets are treated with real care, the drivers are friendly and the weekly delivery is consistent.
Arthur Pendelton Proprietor & Manager · Traditional bed & breakfast -
Back-to-back conferences and galas mean huge quantities of table skirts, stage linens and catering napkins at short notice. They have never missed a deadline on any of it.
Danielle Moreau Events Logistics Manager · Corporate event venue -
Grooming generates heavy, fur-filled towels and specialist bedding that a standard machine cannot handle. Everything is collected and returned allergen-free, fluffy and sterilised. Top marks for taking on the difficult jobs.
Natasha Petrov Head Groomer & Manager · Pet grooming & daycare -
Table presentation is everything in Mayfair. They handle our heavy cotton damask tablecloths and chef whites with real precision — stains vanish and the starch finish is always spot on. The daily collection has never let us down.
Mateo Rossi Restaurant General Manager · Fine dining restaurant -
Running a busy dining room alongside eight letting rooms needs a versatile laundry partner. Kitchen aprons, table runners and bed sheets all go in one collection, and the seven-day pickup schedule flexes around us.

Local knowledge
Sturry, specifically
A leafy residential village on the edge of Canterbury, famous for its ancient river crossing. Unique to Sturry.
Sturry is collected 7 days on a shared round, so a single-site cafe here costs a stop rather than a journey.

Asked most often about Sturry cafe linen
Which round covers Sturry?
Yes — Sturry sits on the CT2 round, 7 days, 63.0 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Fordwich, Canterbury and Blean — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
- The driver knows the streets around Sturry — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
- Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.
Are we too small an account in Sturry?
No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in CT2 is exactly that size.
- Small sites go on the same CT2 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Sturry.
- 6 cafes around CT2 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
- Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.
Is apron hire available to Sturry cafes?
Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.
- Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
- Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
- Plenty of cafes do both — branding matters on the apron, rarely on the tea towel behind the counter.
We run short on Saturdays — what then?
Tell your account manager and collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
- If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
- Most Sturry cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
- Seasonal swings are planned in — Sturry in December is not Sturry in February, and the par count should know that.
We have a small kitchen — same round?
No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same CT2 collection and the same invoice.
- No second supplier and no second delivery day — the round does not change when the kitchen opens.
- Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
- 1 restaurants around CT2 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.
When does the CT2 round reach Sturry?
That is the point of putting Sturry on the CT2 round rather than a separate trip. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.
- The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
- Timed around Sturry so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
- If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
Why do our whites go grey?
Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.
- Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — rather than whatever the machine was doing before.
- Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — too hot sets it into the fibre.
- Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — a Sturry cafe buying aprons three times a year is paying for a bad cycle, not for wear.
Is there a minimum term?
No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.
- Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a winter volume you do not use in August.
- Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
- Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.
Something specific to your Sturry cafe?
Ask us directlyThe cheapest wash for Sturry is the second one you avoid
Most of the environmental cost of cafe linen is rewashing and replacing it. Getting the classification right the first time does more than any claim on a van.
- One vehicle covers CT2, so adding Sturry adds a stop rather than a journey.
- Cloths that keep their colour get replaced on wear, not on appearance.
- A marked apron is repaired and put back into rotation, not written off.
