Restaurant Linen In Dowgate Collected On Round

188 restaurants in Dowgate sit inside the area we already collect from, 9.1 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 118 cafés and 60 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Candlewick, City of London and Walbrook — 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.
• a 9.1-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.

Four different problems, four different answers. Grease needs heat, wine needs speed, wax needs lifting cold — a supplier running everything on one cycle returns you the average of all three.

• 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, cold and mechanically — a hot cycle is what makes candle wax permanent.

Yes — and on the same visit. Splitting linen and workwear across two suppliers is how one of them ends up late.

• Whites come back on hangers, not folded into a bag for someone to iron again before service.
• 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.

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 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.

Never during service. Your EC4R slot is fixed when the account opens, so it is a standing appointment rather than a window someone assigns you on the day.

• 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 — the plant is 9.1 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.

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 Dowgate — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
• Reviewed after a full month and changed if the first number was wrong. It often is, in both directions.
• Seasonal swing is expected — EC4R trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Both, and most Dowgate accounts run both. Hired table linen where volume is high, owned whites where the branding matters.

• 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 Dowgate accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

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

• 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.
