The EC2V problem
Bassishaw tables should never wait on a van
Most kitchens in Bassishaw do not change supplier because of price. They change because of a Friday that went wrong.
-
Deliveries that miss service
Traffic around Mansion House turns a morning drop into an afternoon one, and the team lays up with whatever is left in the cupboard.
-
Linen the customer notices
Wine, oil and candle wax need different treatment. A supplier that washes everything on one programme returns cloths you cannot put on a table.
-
Running out on a Friday
Covers here swing hard between midweek and weekend, and a flat par level fails at the worst possible moment.
From first call to first collection in Bassishaw
Four steps from first call to first Bassishaw collection
Nothing here needs a decision from you after the first week.
-
What you use in a week
We look at a week of real service in Bassishaw — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, how many cloths a turn actually costs you.
An hour, on site
-
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.
No tie-in to change it
-
Same day, same driver
7 days, at a time agreed with you — a standing slot rather than a window assigned each morning.
Agreed, then kept
-
Back before the doors
Everything arrives ready to use: linen pressed and counted, whites hung, cloths separated. No unpacking job at the start of a shift.
One invoice, one contact
Running more than one site in City of London? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
Behind the round
Bassishaw linen is not subcontracted
Nothing leaves the chain. Bassishaw linen travels 8.8 miles to Wembley and back, through a plant we run ourselves.
That control is what lets us match the programme to the mark, instead of putting everything through the cycle that happened to be free.

Changing supplier in Bassishaw, without the Friday you are dreading
Most Bassishaw 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.
- First, the count
We count a real week, not an average one
An hour in Bassishaw: 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.
- The changeover
Both suppliers run at once
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the EC2V 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.
- Week three
One round, one contact
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Coleman Street and Cripplegate are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
We do not ask you to break a contract early. If you are tied in, we plan the start date around your notice period.
Through the changeover, Bassishaw keeps laying up as normal.

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 -
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.
Siobhan O'Connor Spa Operations Director · Luxury health club & spa -
Our members expect fresh sweat towels immediately after back-to-back spinning classes. They handle our daily volume seamlessly, and I would single out the punctuality and the clean, long-lasting scent of the eco-friendly detergents.
Marcus Thorne Studio Manager · Boutique fitness studio -
In clinical and aesthetic practice, hygiene standards have to meet rigorous compliance. High-temperature sanitised gowns, drapes and bed covers arrive reliably every week. I trust their quality control completely.
Dr Elena Rostova Clinic Director · Private healthcare clinic -
For high-end short-stay apartments, guest reviews live and die by linen quality. We get hotel-grade crispness that consistently earns us five-star cleanliness ratings, and the communication lines are short when something needs resolving.
Beatrice Dupont Head of Housekeeping · Luxury serviced apartments -
We use dozens of salon towels and client gowns every day. Stubborn hair dye and product stains come out effortlessly and our capes still look new. They are an indispensable part of the daily flow here.
Chloe St. Laurent Salon Owner & Manager · Hair & beauty salon -
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.

The area
Why Bassishaw is collected the way it is
An energetic part of Bassishaw featuring a mix of historic architecture and modern living. Unique to Bassishaw.
Kitchens here sit on the EC2V round, close enough to the plant that a disrupted run is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's sheet.

Bassishaw operators usually ask these first
Do you already collect from Bassishaw?
182 restaurants in Bassishaw sit inside the area we already collect from, 8.8 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 118 cafés and 63 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Coleman Street, Cripplegate and Cheap — one vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a kitchen here without adding a journey, and why the price does not carry a delivery surcharge.
- 7 days collections, on a fixed day and time that does not drift week to week.
- an 8.8-mile round trip is short enough that a missed collection is recovered on the next run, not the next week.
What happens to stained napkins from a Bassishaw service?
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. Mixing table linen with kitchen cloths is the single fastest way to grey a white.
- 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, because heat drives it into the weave and fixes it there for good.
Is kitchenwear on the same EC2V round?
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, ready to hang up — which is the only state a chef jacket is useful in.
- Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — because sorting a mixed bag at 5pm is nobody's job.
- Sizes are held in stock, so hiring someone does not mean borrowing a jacket two sizes out.
We have two kitchens. Does that complicate it?
One account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across City of London are the norm rather than the exception, and the round does not change — only the drop list does.
- Each site keeps its own par level. Sites are sized individually, because an average across two very different rooms is wrong for both.
- Consolidated billing that shows the total and the split, so nobody has to reconcile it by hand.
- Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.
Can you work around our service times in EC2V?
Before the doors, not during them. The EC2V 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, so the team lays up with what arrived that morning rather than what was left in the cupboard.
- If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — a 8.8-mile plant means the fix is hours away rather than days.
Our Bassishaw covers swing hard. How is stock set?
The weekend sets the level. Stock that only just covers midweek runs out exactly when the room is full and nobody has time to notice.
- We count a real week in Bassishaw — 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 once there is real data rather than a first guess — at no cost either way.
- Seasonal swing is expected — EC2V trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
In Bassishaw, do we have to hire or can you wash our own?
Either, and mixed accounts are normal. Hire from us, or we launder stock you already own — the EC2V round collects both the same way and on the same docket.
- Owned stock stays yours. What you bought, you keep — including the items we would not have chosen.
- Hire covers replacement — the cost of a cloth reaching the end of its life sits with us, not with you.
- Most Bassishaw accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
Is a small Bassishaw café too small for you?
Nothing is too small if you are on the round. Bassishaw already is, so the question is what you use, not how much.
- Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same round — the vehicle does not care what is on the sign outside.
- No tie-in and no volume threshold attached to the quote. The price you agree is the price at any volume.
- 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.
Something we have missed?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one Bassishaw does not repeat
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 Bassishaw 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 EC2V round serves Bassishaw, Coleman Street and Cripplegate — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- An 8.8-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
- Rinse water recovered and reused rather than discharged after a single cycle.
- Stained napkins are worked on twice before they leave the count — replacement is the last resort.
