What goes wrong in Cheap
Cheap covers do not wait for a laundry van
Most kitchens in Cheap 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.
-
Grease that never lifts
A creased cloth is a two-second judgement made before anyone has read the menu.
-
Par levels set for a quiet week
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 Cheap
Set up once in Cheap, then stop thinking about it
Four steps, then you stop noticing it.
-
Covers, not guesswork
An hour looking at what Cheap actually gets through: a midweek service, a full Saturday, and the difference between them.
An hour, on site
-
Stock set to your week
We size to the peak and let the quiet days look over-supplied — the opposite arrangement fails when the room is full.
Adjusted, not renegotiated
-
Your place on the round
Collections settle into a window that sits outside service — not a two-hour promise that lands mid-lunch.
Timed around EC2V access
-
Back before the doors
Table linen comes back pressed and counted, chef whites on hangers, kitchen cloths bagged by type. Nothing needs sorting on arrival.
Counted both ways
Running more than one site in City of London? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
Standards
Cheap linen is not subcontracted
Nothing leaves the chain. Cheap linen travels 8.9 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 Cheap, without the Friday you are dreading
Most Cheap 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.
- Before you commit
Your stock gets counted, not estimated
An hour in Cheap: 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 overlap
You carry too much linen for a week, on purpose
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
Your day, your window, your account manager
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Cordwainer and Bread Street 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.
No Cheap guest should ever meet your laundry supplier.

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 -
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 -
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 -
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.
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.

The area
Cheap, specifically
An energetic part of Cheap featuring a mix of historic architecture and modern living. Unique to Cheap.
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.

Asked by Cheap kitchens
Do you already collect from Cheap?
181 restaurants in Cheap sit inside the area we already collect from, 8.9 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 122 cafés and 64 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Cordwainer, Bread Street and City of London — the round already passes, so you are joining a journey rather than paying for a new one.
- 7 days collections, in a window agreed when the account opens rather than assigned by a routing system on the morning.
- an 8.9-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 Cheap 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. Sorting after the wash is too late; the grease has already moved.
- 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 — so the right cloth is where it should be before service starts.
- 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 contact for all of them. Running several City of London sites through one account is the common case here, not a special arrangement.
- 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 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?
Outside service, both ways. The EC2V slot is agreed before the account opens and does not move week to week — it is a fixed place on a round, not a two-hour window that lands mid-lunch.
- 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 8.9 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.
Cheap is quiet midweek and full at weekends — does that work?
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 Cheap — 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 Cheap, 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. 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 Cheap accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
We are a 24-cover place — are we too small?
No, and no tie-in either. A 24-cover room in Cheap is a stop on an existing run, not a trip we have to justify.
- Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants and are priced the same way: on usage, not on category.
- No tie-in and no volume threshold — a slow month does not move you onto a worse rate.
- 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 specific to your kitchen?
Ask us directlyThe cheapest wash for Cheap 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 Cheap 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 Cheap, Cordwainer and Bread Street — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- An 8.9-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.
