Why Downside kitchens switch
Downside tables should never wait on a van
KT11 has its own constraints — access, timing, and the roads around Cobham & Stoke d'Abernon. A supplier who does not know the area finds that out during your service, not theirs.
-
Deliveries that miss service
A late run near Cobham & Stoke d'Abernon means napkins arrive while the first covers are already seated.
-
Grease that never lifts
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
Chef whites are the first thing to run short and the last thing anyone counts.
How it works
Four steps from first call to first Downside collection
Four steps, then you stop noticing it.
-
The count
An hour looking at what Downside actually gets through: a midweek service, a full Saturday, and the difference between them.
Booked within days in KT11
-
Weekend-weighted stock
Par is set to your busiest day, not your average one, so a full Saturday does not empty the cupboard by Sunday lunch.
Reviewed after a full month
-
A fixed slot
You get a fixed place on the KT11 round at 7 days, timed around service rather than around the vehicle.
Timed around KT11 access
-
Pressed, sorted, counted
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 Elmbridge? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
How it is processed
Downside cloths are washed where we say they are
There is one building between your linen and ours: a plant in Wembley, 17.9 miles from Downside, 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.

Changing supplier in Downside, without the Friday you are dreading
Most Downside 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 Downside: 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
Both suppliers run at once
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the KT11 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.
- From then on
Your day, your window, your account manager
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Stoke D Abernon and Cobham are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
No exit fee, no buy-back, no minimum term to escape from. If your notice runs to March, we start in March.
No Downside guest should ever meet your laundry supplier.

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.
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.

Local knowledge
Downside, specifically
A peaceful residential pocket centered around its green, offering elite village seclusion. Unique to Downside.
Downside is collected 7 days on a shared round, so a 24-cover room is priced on what it uses rather than on the journey.

Asked by Downside kitchens
Do you serve restaurants in Downside?
3 restaurants in Downside sit inside the area we already collect from, 17.9 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 3 cafés and 3 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Stoke D Abernon, Cobham and Oxshott — the round already passes, so you are joining a journey rather than paying for a new one.
- 7 days collections, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
- a 17.9-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.
What happens to stained napkins from a Downside 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. 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 so the decision about whether a cloth is still good enough is ours, not yours at 6pm.
- Wax is lifted before wash, cold and mechanically — a hot cycle is what makes candle wax permanent.
Can Downside chef jackets go with the tablecloths?
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, so hiring someone does not mean borrowing a jacket two sizes out.
We run more than one site around Elmbridge — one account?
One account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across Elmbridge 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. The busy site gets the depth it needs without the quiet one paying for stock it never uses.
- 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 KT11?
Before the doors, not during them. The KT11 round is planned around service times, which is the difference between a supplier who works here and one who merely delivers here.
- Access around Cobham & Stoke d'Abernon 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 setup starts with a full cupboard instead of a count of what survived last night.
- If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — we come back the same day. At 17.9 miles that is a decision, not a logistics exercise.
Can par levels handle a full Saturday in Downside?
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 Downside — 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 and changed if the first number was wrong. It often is, in both directions.
- Seasonal swing is expected — KT11 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
In Downside, 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 KT11 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 — which is usually the larger number over a year, because linen wears out in public.
- Most Downside accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
Is there a minimum order?
No, and no tie-in either. A 24-cover room in Downside is a stop on an existing run, not a trip we have to justify.
- 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 — 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.
Not covered here?
Ask us directlyThe cheapest wash for Downside 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 Downside 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 KT11 round serves Downside, Stoke D Abernon and Cobham — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 17.9-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.
