Kitchen Linen In Wokingham Collected To Schedule

Yes — Wokingham sits on the RG40 round, 7 days, 25.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Hurst, Barkham and Binfield — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Wokingham — which matters when the drop has to miss prep by half an hour.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.
• 67 kitchens around RG40 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Wokingham, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — the embroidery matters on the jacket, rarely on the oven cloth.
• 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 — one cycle cannot serve all three, which is why a general programme leaves all three behind.
• 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 — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

It is quoted, not tariffed. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Wokingham before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Wokingham kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.

Yes, and they are not an afterthought on a restaurant round.

• 14 school kitchens around RG40 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 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 — 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 — and again after your first busy season, which is where opening figures usually fail.

That is the point of putting Wokingham on the RG40 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.
• Timed around Wokingham and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
• 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 — Wokingham in August and Wokingham in January are different kitchens, and the account should say so.
• 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 — you are never between suppliers.
• If it is not working, say so — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.
