Kitchen Linen In Wood Green On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Wood Green sits on the N22 round, 7 days, 8.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Noel Park, Muswell Hill and Bowes Park — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Turnpike Lane, Hornsey and Bowes Park — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your back door.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 8.0 miles buys you.
• 189 kitchens around N22 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Wood Green before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

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

• 27 school kitchens around N22 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 3 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 — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — keep one invoice and one point of contact however many kitchens are on it.

In person, section by section — not off a headcount.

• 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 — which takes the sorting job off the pass entirely.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

That is the point of putting Wood Green on the N22 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Turnpike Lane so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• 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 — so cover weeks do not become the weeks it goes wrong.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Wood Green in August and Wood Green 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 Wood Green section starts a shift without whites.
• 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 — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Wood Green, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hired cloths and aprons, own-branded jackets on wash-only.
• You can move a line between the two later — without reopening the account or renegotiating anything.

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

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — grease lifts at a different temperature from protein, and scorch responds to neither.
• 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 — from collection to the rail, so the coding still means something when it comes back.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.
