What goes wrong
Chef whites in Ascot are the first thing anyone looks at
Almost nobody around SL5 changes linen supplier to save money. They change because the same thing went wrong three weeks running.
-
Whites that are not actually white
Grease and protein need their own wash. Run through a front-of-house cycle they build up, and a Ascot brigade ends up in jackets that look tired in a month.
-
Sizes that turn into a scramble
A box of mixed whites at the start of a shift is a box someone has to sort. Named and sized garments on a rail take that job off the pass entirely.
-
Deliveries that land mid-prep
A drop timed for the middle of prep is a drop nobody in Ascot can receive. The round has to be planned around service, not around the traffic.
How it works
Getting a Ascot kitchen onto the round
Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the sizing and the timing right and the service stops being something the pass has to think about.
-
The count
Every section sized in person. Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong, and it is not something a form gets right.
An hour, on site
-
The round
Ascot sits 19.7 miles out on the SL5 round, so the drop time is set against your service pattern rather than the traffic.
SL5 · 7 days
-
The switch
You are never between suppliers, and no service is covered in borrowed jackets.
No gap in service
-
The account
The same person handles Ascot every week, which is why a size change does not need explaining twice.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one kitchen around Windsor and Maidenhead? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
Your Ascot whites, washed by us and nobody else
There are two buildings between your linen and ours, and we own both. Ascot collections run 19.7 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
What comes off a Ascot pass is not what comes off a dining room table. Kitchen work is classified on its own, at its own temperature, rather than following the table linen through the machine.

A Ascot switch nobody on the pass notices
The reason Ascot head chefs put up with a supplier they have stopped rating is timing: there is no good week to gamble. That is a scheduling problem, not a reason to stay.
- Before you commit
We size the brigade properly
An hour on site: every section, every size, and the garments that wear out first. Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong.
- The handover
Whites land before the old supplier stops
The two contracts overlap on purpose, so no Ascot section starts a shift on borrowed jackets.
- After
New starters go on the account the same week
A new commis does not wait for the next order cycle. Sizing changes go through your account manager and land on the next round.
Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the quote cost nothing.
The week you switch is the week nobody notices.

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.
Danielle Moreau Events Logistics Manager · Corporate event venue -
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 -
Running a busy dining room alongside eight letting rooms needs a versatile laundry partner. Kitchen aprons, table runners and bed sheets all go in one collection, and the seven-day pickup schedule flexes around us.
Liam Gallagher Operations & Pub Manager · Gastro pub with rooms -
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.
Alistair Finch Club Secretary & General Manager · Private members' club -
LP Laundry has been an absolute game-changer for our 45-room boutique hotel. Turnaround on our bed linens and heavy plush towels is inside 24 hours without a single delay. We could not be happier with the crisp, immaculate finish.
Charlotte Vance Front of House & Accommodation Manager · 45-room boutique hotel -
Running a high-end spa means going through hundreds of bathrobes and spa towels daily. Our rotation stays fully stocked with exceptionally soft, hygienically pristine textiles. Guest comfort has noticeably improved since we switched.

Local knowledge
Ascot, specifically
An world-class destination for hospitality, defined by its elite racecourse and luxury residential estates. Unique to Ascot.
What makes Ascot its own job is the service pattern rather than the distance. The round is planned to miss prep, which is when a delivery is least welcome.

Kitchen laundry in Ascot — what head chefs ask
Which round covers Ascot?
Yes — Ascot sits on the SL5 round, 7 days, 19.7 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Sunninghill, Sunningdale and Bracknell — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
- The driver knows the service entrances around Ascot — 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, which is what 19.7 miles buys you.
- 18 kitchens around SL5 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.
Do you size every section, or go off a headcount?
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 — which takes the sorting job off the pass entirely.
- Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Ascot month rather than a first guess.
Can we choose our collection time in Ascot?
Outside both, because prep is the window most suppliers hit.
- The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
- Timed around Ascot because that is where the delay actually happens.
- 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.
Are we tied into a long contract?
No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.
- Terms flex with seasonal demand — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
- 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 Ascot section starts a shift without whites.
- If it is not working, say so — most problems are a wrong par count or a wrong delivery window, and both are fixable without changing supplier.
Do you hire chef whites, or only launder ours in Ascot?
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 — your own embroidered jackets come back to you, the same garments, named, not pooled.
- 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 — without reopening the account or renegotiating anything.
How is kitchen soil handled differently?
Separately, and at its own temperature.
- Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — and their own temperature.
- 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 — 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.
Is there a price list for chef whites?
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 Ascot before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
- No minimum order — a two-section Ascot kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
- The count includes your busy season — a Ascot kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
- The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
Do you take non-restaurant kitchens?
Yes. Contract catering, schools and care homes are all on the rounds.
- 4 school kitchens around SL5 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
- 1 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 — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.

Most of the environmental cost of kitchen linen is rewashing and replacing it. Classifying kitchen soil properly the first time does more than any claim on a van.
- The SL5 round is a shared journey rather than a separate trip to Ascot.
- Whites washed on the right classification last longer before replacement.
- A scorched cuff is repaired and put back into rotation, not written off.
