The EC1A problem

Aldersgate covers do not wait for a laundry van

EC1A has its own constraints — access, timing, and the roads around Mansion House. A supplier who does not know the area finds that out during your service, not theirs.

  • The van that arrives mid-service

    A late run near Mansion House means napkins arrive while the first covers are already seated.

  • Cloths that go out marked

    A creased cloth is a two-second judgement made before anyone has read the menu.

  • Par levels set for a quiet week

    A stock level built around a Tuesday does not survive a full Saturday in Aldersgate.

From first call to first collection in Aldersgate

Set up once in Aldersgate, then stop thinking about it

Nothing here needs a decision from you after the first week.

Serving EC1A Since 2009
  1. The count

    We measure usage rather than ask for it. What a turn costs in cloths is rarely the number on the last supplier's sheet.

    Before anything changes

  2. Stock set to your week

    Par is set to your busiest day, not your average one, so a full Saturday does not empty the cupboard by Sunday lunch.

    Adjusted, not renegotiated

  3. Same day, same driver

    Collections settle into a window that sits outside service — not a two-hour promise that lands mid-lunch.

    Agreed, then kept

  4. Ready to lay up

    Table linen comes back pressed and counted, chef whites on hangers, kitchen cloths bagged by type. Nothing needs sorting on arrival.

Behind the round

Aldersgate cloths are washed where we say they are

There is one building between your linen and ours: a plant in Wembley, 8.6 miles from Aldersgate, that we own and run.

It also means kitchen soil is treated as kitchen soil — grease, wine and wax on the right programme, not whatever the machine was already running.

Collections into Aldersgate run on the EC1A round, to plants we own and run.

Aldersgate handovers happen between services, not during them

Most Aldersgate operators stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like risking a service. It is the objection we hear most, so here is exactly how it runs.

  1. Week one

    We count a real week, not an average one

    An hour in Aldersgate: what goes out on a Saturday, what is still in the wash, what is past saving. You keep every item you own — nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look neater.

  2. Week two

    Both suppliers run at once

    Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the EC1A round starts delivering. For that week you are holding more than you need, which is the point — there is no service you lay up short for.

  3. Settled

    One round, one contact

    Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Cripplegate and Farringdon Within are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.

Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the plan cost you nothing either way.

    Back-to-back conferences and galas mean huge quantities of table skirts, stage linens and catering napkins at short notice. They have never missed a deadline on any of it.

  • We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.
    Hannah Sterling Studio Coordinator · Yoga & pilates studio
  • From velvet seat throws to staff aprons and heavy bar towels, our eclectic mix of textiles is handled without fuss. The turnaround times and the account management are what stand out.
    Kieran Davies Venue & Hospitality Manager · Boutique cinema & lounge
  • As a family-run Victorian B&B we need a partner who understands traditional hospitality. Our heritage cotton sheets are treated with real care, the drivers are friendly and the weekly delivery is consistent.
    Arthur Pendelton Proprietor & Manager · Traditional bed & breakfast
  • Grooming generates heavy, fur-filled towels and specialist bedding that a standard machine cannot handle. Everything is collected and returned allergen-free, fluffy and sterilised. Top marks for taking on the difficult jobs.
    Natasha Petrov Head Groomer & Manager · Pet grooming & daycare
  • Table presentation is everything in Mayfair. They handle our heavy cotton damask tablecloths and chef whites with real precision — stains vanish and the starch finish is always spot on. The daily collection has never let us down.
    Mateo Rossi Restaurant General Manager · Fine dining restaurant
  • Whether we are catering a wedding or a corporate launch, linen presentation has to be immaculate. We get crisp, vacuum-sealed table linens and pristine chef jackets every time — a genuine operational ally.
    Julian Bennett Executive Director of Operations · Catering & event production
  • Our membership expects discretion and immaculate standards. Dining room linens and guest suites are laundered to a bespoke standard, and the discretion around our account has been absolute.

The area

Aldersgate, specifically

A sophisticated blend of Roman history and modern corporate prestige on the edge of the Barbican. Unique to Aldersgate.

The constraint in Aldersgate is timing rather than distance: the round is planned around service, which is what stops a delivery landing mid-lunch.

Aldersgate — what kitchens ask before switching

Do you serve restaurants in Aldersgate?

178 restaurants in Aldersgate sit inside the area we already collect from, 8.6 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 114 cafés and 60 pubs and bars are on the same run.

  • Shared with Cripplegate, Farringdon Within and Farringdon Without — the round already passes, so you are joining a journey rather than paying for a new one.
  • 7 days collections, on a fixed day and time that does not drift week to week.
  • an 8.6-mile round trip is short enough that a missed collection is recovered on the next run, not the next week.
Will marked Aldersgate cloths come back marked?

It depends entirely on the mark. Oil, wine and wax behave differently in a wash, and treating them the same is how cloths come back looking tired after a season.

  • Items are sorted before washing, not after. A tablecloth and an oven cloth never share a load — that is how cloths come back grey.
  • Marked items are pulled at the check stage and re-treated before they go back out. Most recover; the ones that do not are replaced from stock rather than returned to you to notice.
  • Wax is lifted before wash, not melted through the fabric by a hot cycle, which is what sets it permanently.
Do you do chef whites as well as table linen in Aldersgate?

Front of house and back of house, one collection. Whites and cloths travel with the tablecloths, on one docket and one bill.

  • Whites come back on hangers, sized and named where you want them named, so they go straight to the changing area rather than onto a pile.
  • Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — so nothing needs sorting at the pass during setup.
  • Sizes are held in stock, and a change of size is a phone call rather than a reorder.
Can several City of London venues share a contract?

Yes, and it usually costs less. Sites on the same City of London rounds share the journey, which is the whole reason a group rate exists.

  • Each site keeps its own par level. A 30-cover bistro and a 200-cover brasserie should not carry the same stock, and averaging them is how one site runs short every weekend.
  • Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown, so a head office sees one number and each kitchen still sees its own.
  • Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.
When do you collect in Aldersgate — will it clash with service?

Before the doors, not during them. The EC1A round is planned around service times, which is the difference between a supplier who works here and one who merely delivers here.

  • Access around Mansion House is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day. Loading restrictions and one-way systems are the reason most suppliers drift late here.
  • Deliveries land before the doors open, which is the difference between laying up calmly and laying up at speed.
  • If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — the plant is 8.6 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.
Can par levels handle a full Saturday in Aldersgate?

Par is set to your busiest service, not your average one. A stock level built around a Tuesday fails on a Saturday, which is the night it matters.

  • We count a real week in Aldersgate — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, and how many cloths a turn actually costs you rather than what the last supplier's sheet said.
  • Reviewed after a full month of live usage and adjusted, with no renegotiation and no change fee.
  • Seasonal swing is expected — EC1A trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
Is the EC1A service hire only, or wash-only as well?

Whichever suits the item. We hire and we wash-only, and the EC1A round does not care which is in the bag.

  • Owned stock stays yours. We do not buy it off you at a discount to simplify the paperwork.
  • Hire covers replacement — the cost of a cloth reaching the end of its life sits with us, not with you.
  • Most Aldersgate accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
Is there a minimum order?

Nothing is too small if you are on the round. Aldersgate already is, so the question is what you use, not how much.

  • Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same run, and a 24-cover room is priced on what it actually uses.
  • No tie-in and no volume threshold to keep the price you were quoted — the rate does not change if you have a quiet January.
  • Growing later is a par-level change, not a renegotiation — adding a second flat does not reopen the contract.
  • No exit fee. If it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock.

The cheapest wash for Aldersgate is the second one you avoid

Most of the environmental cost of restaurant linen is rewashing and early replacement, not the wash itself — a cloth retired at the first oil mark has cost more than one washed twice. In Aldersgate there is a second saving: the kitchens here sit close enough together that one round covers them, instead of separate journeys out from Wembley.

  • One EC1A round serves Aldersgate, Cripplegate and Farringdon Within — 3 areas, one set of miles.
  • An 8.6-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
  • Closed-loop rinse water — the cheapest litre is the one used twice.
  • A re-treated tablecloth costs a fraction of a replacement one, environmentally and otherwise.
