Kitchen Linen In Wendover On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Wendover sits on the HP22 round, 7 days, 24.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Weston Turville, Aston Clinton and Kimble — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Wendover — which matters when the drop has to miss prep by half an hour.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
• 24 kitchens around HP22 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

Yes — catering kitchens are a large part of what we collect.

• 6 school kitchens around HP22 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 2 care home kitchens nearby — where consistency matters more than turnaround speed, and the account is set up for that.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
• Contract caterers running several sites — keep one invoice and one point of contact however many kitchens are on it.

Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong, so we do it on site.

• 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 — brigades in Wendover change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — and again after your first busy season, which is where opening figures usually fail.

That is the point of putting Wendover on the HP22 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Wendover because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• 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 — 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 — there is no cost to finding out.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — your own embroidered jackets come back to you, the same garments, named, not pooled.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hired cloths and aprons, own-branded jackets on wash-only.
• You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Always. Kitchen work never follows table linen through the machine.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — and their own temperature.
• Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — and that separation is the whole reason ours stay white.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — through the whole process.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Wendover before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Wendover kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Wendover kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
