Kitchen Linen In Woodham On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Woodham sits on the KT15 round, 7 days, 17.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with West Byfleet, New Haw and Ottershaw — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around West Byfleet — 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.
• 37 kitchens around KT15 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

Yes. Contract catering, schools and care homes are all on the rounds.

• 8 school kitchens around KT15 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 6 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 — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Runnymede, not as separate customers.

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 — rather than waiting for an order cycle.
• 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 Woodham month rather than a first guess.

Yes — the KT15 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around West Byfleet 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 — 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 — Woodham in August and Woodham 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 — 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. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Woodham, 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 — that transfer is what dulls a brigade's whites inside a month.
• 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.

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 Woodham before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Woodham kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — which is where most estimates fall over; a figure taken in February will not survive August.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
