What goes wrong
The Greenwich morning goes wrong before the first coffee
Cafes in Greenwich rarely leave a supplier over price. They leave after a run of mornings that started badly.
-
Deliveries that land after opening
A cafe opens earlier than almost anything else on the street. A drop timed for mid-morning is a drop that missed the shift it was for, and in Greenwich that means serving the first hours on yesterday's cloths.
-
Cloths that come back grey
Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food service. Washed on a general cycle they build up, whites go dull within weeks, and the counter is where it shows.
-
Running short on the busy day
Par counts set on a quiet Tuesday leave you short on Saturday. Most Greenwich cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it twice a week.
How it works
Four steps to a Greenwich cafe on the round
Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the count and the timing right and the service stops being something you manage.
-
The count
We look at a real week in Greenwich: how many aprons a shift gets through, what is still in the wash when you open, and which two days you run short.
Half an hour, on site
-
The round
SE10 already has a collection day. We fit you to it and agree a time that lands before opening rather than during it.
SE10 · 7 days
-
The switch
The changeover in Greenwich overlaps by design — new stock lands while the old contract is still running, so no shift is caught between the two.
No gap in service
-
The account
A named account manager who knows your site and the SE10 round — not a ticket number and a call centre.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one site around Greenwich? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
Greenwich cloths are not subcontracted
There are two buildings between your linen and ours, and we own both. Greenwich collections run 13.1 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
Cafe soil is its own problem. Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup need a different wash to food-service linen, so aprons and cloths run on their own classification rather than whatever the machine was doing before.

A Greenwich switch nobody behind the counter notices
Nobody in Greenwich changes linen supplier on a whim. The question is only whether the switch can happen without a single bad opening — and it can.
- Before you commit
We count a real week, not an average one
Half an hour on site: what goes out on a Saturday, what is still in the wash on Monday, and where you run short.
- The handover
Stock lands before the old supplier stops
The two contracts overlap on purpose. Greenwich gets its first delivery while the old supplier is still collecting, so there is no morning in between.
- After
Par counts adjust once we have seen a month
Month one is a measurement. From month two the Greenwich par count reflects your real weekend rather than our opening guess.
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.

As a family-run Victorian B&B we need a partner who understands traditional hospitality. Our heritage cotton sheets are treated with real care, the drivers are friendly and the weekly delivery is consistent.
Arthur Pendelton Proprietor & Manager · Traditional bed & breakfast -
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.
Kieran Davies Venue & Hospitality Manager · Boutique cinema & lounge -
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.

The area
Why Greenwich is collected the way it is
A world-class maritime heritage site with elegant architecture and stunning river views. Unique to Greenwich.
Cafes here sit on the SE10 round, and the constraint is the clock rather than the distance — Greenwich opens before most of what we serve, so the drop is timed against opening.

Greenwich questions, answered
Can you reach Greenwich 7 days?
Yes — Greenwich sits on the SE10 round, 7 days, 13.1 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Millwall, Cubitt Town and Isle of Dogs — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
- The driver knows the streets around Mudchute, Greenwich and Deptford — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
- A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
Can we leave if it is not working?
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 — the two overlap by design.
Do you take single-site cafes in SE10?
No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in SE10 is exactly that size.
- Small sites go on the same SE10 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Greenwich.
- 91 cafes around SE10 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
- Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Greenwich and a busy July are the same account.
What is the difference between hire and wash-only in SE10?
Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.
- Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
- Wash-only — your own branded aprons come back to you, the same items, not pooled.
- Plenty of cafes do both — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.
Can you cover a busy weekend in Greenwich?
Tell your account manager and a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
- If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
- Most Greenwich cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
- Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.
We serve food as well as coffee — separate account?
No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SE10 collection and the same invoice.
- No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
- Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
- 80 restaurants around SE10 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.
Can you deliver before we open in Greenwich?
Yes — the SE10 round is sequenced by opening time. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.
- The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
- Timed around Mudchute so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
- If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
Our aprons look dull after a month — why?
Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.
- Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — not as the tail end of a kitchen load.
- Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — overheating fixes the stain instead of lifting it.
- Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — a Greenwich cafe buying aprons three times a year is paying for a bad cycle, not for wear.
Something specific to your Greenwich cafe?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one Greenwich does not repeat
Most of the environmental cost of cafe linen is rewashing and replacing it. Getting the classification right the first time does more than any claim on a van.
- One vehicle covers SE10, so adding Greenwich adds a stop rather than a journey.
- Cafe cloths washed on their own classification last longer before replacement.
- Hire stock is repaired and rotated rather than binned at the first mark.
- Over four fifths of our central London vehicles are electric.
