Every chef and manager in the catering and hospitality industry recognizes the overwhelming importance of kitchen hygiene, so it’s vital that workwear is always scrupulously clean and properly laundered.  Looking smart in front of customers is also a key factor in the public’s perception of your establishment.

That’s the view of David Hill, sales and marketing director of , specialist provider of linen and workwear hire, and laundry services, for many of the UK’s leading kitchens.

“Choosing the right uniform for kitchen staff means taking many factors into consideration,” said David.  “Chefs want to look good but their workwear has to be practical, in terms of comfort and stain resistance, and it has to be of a good and lasting quality.  However, it is also of fundamental importance that kitchen hygiene is never compromised by dirty uniforms.”

Increasingly, hotel and restaurant operators are choosing to outsource their workwear and laundry suppliers.  Johnsons Stalbridge Linen Services for example, prides itself on providing a superior quality, contract-free complete linen hire and laundry service, on a permanent or temporary hire basis.

In the kitchen, Stalbridge Linen Services offers Chef jackets in a range of designs and sizes in white polycotton with long or short sleeves, and button or stud fastenings, while a choice of Chef trousers, in blue/white or blue/black small check, or plain black, helps to tailor the look and encourage individuality.

In addition, a range of waist, bib or butchers aprons, plus skull caps, neck ties and kitchen cloths, porters trousers and jackets, coats, boiler suits and polo shirts, ensure that virtually every requirement is catered for.

All chefs wear is made exclusively to Stalbridge Linen’s own specification, and all garments are supplied without a contract for complete ease of operation and flexibility, with a free exchange of garment sizes as required.

Tips for Selecting a Workwear Supplier

“Quite simply, we offer the most extensive range with the greatest flexibility,” said David, who advises managers to consider the following factors when selecting a supplier.

“First, check the contract,” advises David. “Our ‘no contract’ policy is legendary in the industry.  We don’t believe in tying our customers into contracts as we believe that our high level of service speaks for itself – the majority of our customers remain with us over time due to our high quality products and standard of service.

“Secondly, check if residual charges apply.  There are no hidden costs with Stalbridge Linen Services, or residual charges on stock returned permanently by a customer,” he added.

“Finally, check whether charges will apply if you alter your requirement. There’s no contract charge with us if stock levels are reduced, and we offer a completely free exchange of garment sizes as and when required.”
