Chef Whites In Wennington On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Wennington sits on the RM13 round, 7 days, 21.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Rainham, Purfleet and Aveley — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 21.9 miles buys you.
• 3 kitchens around RM13 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

We size the brigade before quoting, not after the first complaint.

• Every section is sized at setup — larder and pastry do not wear through jackets at the same rate, and the count reflects that.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — a phone call to your account manager, not a reorder.
• Garments are named — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Wennington month rather than a first guess.

That is the point of putting Wennington on the RM13 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• A drop in the middle of prep is a drop nobody can receive. The round is sequenced around that.
• 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 — Wennington in August and Wennington in January are different kitchens, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no Wennington 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. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Wennington, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hire what nobody reads, keep your own name on the whites.
• 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 — which is the usual reason jackets go grey.
• 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.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Wennington before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — a two-section Wennington kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Wennington kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.

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

• School and care home kitchens run on the same rounds — as the restaurant trade.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — a quiet August is expected, not penalised.
• 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 Havering, not as separate customers.
