Why Sturry kitchens switch
Sturry service starts before the doors do
CT2 has its own constraints — access, timing, and the roads around Sturry. A supplier who does not know the area finds that out during your service, not theirs.
-
Late drops before a full book
Traffic around Sturry turns a morning drop into an afternoon one, and the team lays up with whatever is left in the cupboard.
-
Cloths that go out marked
A creased cloth is a two-second judgement made before anyone has read the menu.
-
The skip that fills by Thursday
A stock level built around a Tuesday does not survive a full Saturday in Sturry.
From first call to first collection in Sturry
Sturry kitchens, from count to round, in four moves
Most of the work happens before the first collection, and most of it is ours.
-
What you use in a week
We look at a week of real service in Sturry — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, how many cloths a turn actually costs you.
Booked within days in CT2
-
Weekend-weighted stock
Par is set to your busiest day, not your average one, so a full Saturday does not empty the cupboard by Sunday lunch.

Your place on the round
7 days, at a time agreed with you — a standing slot rather than a window assigned each morning.
Agreed, then kept
-
Back before the doors
Table linen comes back pressed and counted, chef whites on hangers, kitchen cloths bagged by type. Nothing needs sorting on arrival.
Every load logged
Running more than one site in Canterbury? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
Standards
Sturry cloths are washed where we say they are
There is one building between your linen and ours: a plant in Wembley, 63.0 miles from Sturry, that we own and run.
That control is what lets us match the programme to the mark, instead of putting everything through the cycle that happened to be free.

Changing supplier in Sturry, without the Friday you are dreading
Most Sturry operators stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like risking a service. It is the objection we hear most, so here is exactly how it runs.
- Before you commit
An hour on site, before anything changes
An hour in Sturry: what goes out on a Saturday, what is still in the wash, what is past saving. You keep every item you own — nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look neater.
- The changeover
You carry too much linen for a week, on purpose
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the CT2 round starts delivering. For that week you are holding more than you need, which is the point — there is no service you lay up short for.
- Settled
It becomes a delivery you stop noticing
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Fordwich and Canterbury are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
We do not ask you to break a contract early. If you are tied in, we plan the start date around your notice period.
Through the changeover, Sturry keeps laying up as normal.

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 -
Whether we are catering a wedding or a corporate launch, linen presentation has to be immaculate. We get crisp, vacuum-sealed table linens and pristine chef jackets every time — a genuine operational ally.

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 24-cover room is priced on what it uses rather than on the journey.

Sturry — what kitchens ask before switching
Do you already collect from Sturry?
1 restaurants in Sturry sit inside the area we already collect from, 63.0 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 6 cafés and 2 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Fordwich, Canterbury and Blean — one vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a kitchen here without adding a journey, and why the price does not carry a delivery surcharge.
- 7 days collections, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
- a 63.0-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.
How do you deal with grease, wine and wax in Sturry?
Four different problems, four different answers. Grease needs heat, wine needs speed, wax needs lifting cold — a supplier running everything on one cycle returns you the average of all three.
- Items are sorted before washing, not after. A tablecloth and an oven cloth never share a load — that is how cloths come back grey.
- 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, cold and mechanically — a hot cycle is what makes candle wax permanent.
Do you do chef whites as well as table linen in Sturry?
Same round, same invoice. Chef jackets, aprons, trousers, oven cloths and kitchen cloths are collected with the table linen — there is no second supplier and no second delivery day to remember.
- Whites come back on hangers, sized and named where you want them named, so they go straight to the changing area rather than onto a pile.
- Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — so nothing needs sorting at the pass during setup.
- Sizes are held in stock, so a new starter on Monday is not waiting until the following week for a jacket that fits.
We run more than one site around Canterbury — one account?
One account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across Canterbury are the norm rather than the exception, and the round does not change — only the drop list does.
- Each site keeps its own par level. A 30-cover bistro and a 200-cover brasserie should not carry the same stock, and averaging them is how one site runs short every weekend.
- 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.
What time does the van come in Sturry?
Outside service, both ways. The CT2 slot is agreed before the account opens and does not move week to week — it is a fixed place on a round, not a two-hour window that lands mid-lunch.
- Access around Sturry 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, so setup starts with a full cupboard instead of a count of what survived last night.
- If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — we come back the same day. At 63.0 miles that is a decision, not a logistics exercise.
Our Sturry covers swing hard. How is stock set?
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 Sturry — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, and how many cloths a turn actually costs you rather than what the last supplier's sheet said.
- Reviewed after a full month once there is real data rather than a first guess — at no cost either way.
- Seasonal swing is expected — CT2 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
We own our linen — will you launder it in Sturry?
Whichever suits the item. We hire and we wash-only, and the CT2 round does not care which is in the bag.
- Owned stock stays yours. We do not buy it off you at a discount to simplify the paperwork.
- Hire covers replacement — the cost of a cloth reaching the end of its life sits with us, not with you.
- Most Sturry accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
Is a small Sturry café too small for you?
Nothing is too small if you are on the round. Sturry already is, so the question is what you use, not how much.
- Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same round — the vehicle does not care what is on the sign outside.
- No tie-in and no volume threshold — a slow month does not move you onto a worse rate.
- 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.
Not covered here?
Ask us directlyRewashing Sturry linen is the real environmental cost
Most of the environmental cost of restaurant linen is rewashing and early replacement, not the wash itself — a cloth retired at the first oil mark has cost more than one washed twice. In Sturry there is a second saving: the kitchens here sit close enough together that one round covers them, instead of separate journeys out from Wembley.
- One CT2 round serves Sturry, Fordwich and Canterbury — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 63.0-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
- Closed-loop rinse water — the cheapest litre is the one used twice.
- A re-treated tablecloth costs a fraction of a replacement one, environmentally and otherwise.
