Why Holmwood kitchens switch
Holmwood tables should never wait on a van
RH5 has its own constraints — access, timing, and the roads around Mole Valley. A supplier who does not know the area finds that out during your service, not theirs.
-
The van that arrives mid-service
One delay around Mole Valley and the pass is stacked with kitchen cloths nobody can replace.
-
Linen the customer notices
A creased cloth is a two-second judgement made before anyone has read the menu.
-
The skip that fills by Thursday
Chef whites are the first thing to run short and the last thing anyone counts.
From first call to first collection in Holmwood
Starting in Holmwood takes a week, not a quarter
Most of the work happens before the first collection, and most of it is ours.
-
What you use in a week
An hour looking at what Holmwood actually gets through: a midweek service, a full Saturday, and the difference between them.
Before anything changes
-
Par levels that flex
Stock is weighted to the weekend, because that is the service where running short actually costs you something.
Adjusted, not renegotiated
-
A fixed slot
Collections settle into a window that sits outside service — not a two-hour promise that lands mid-lunch.
Agreed, then kept
-
Pressed, sorted, counted
Table linen comes back pressed and counted, chef whites on hangers, kitchen cloths bagged by type. Nothing needs sorting on arrival.
Every load logged
Running more than one site in Mole Valley? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
Behind the round
Holmwood linen is not subcontracted
Your cloths go to one place — a plant in Wembley, 25.3 miles from Holmwood, owned and staffed by us rather than rented capacity somewhere else.
It is also why a chef jacket and a tablecloth get different treatment here — a subcontractor washes to their schedule, not your soil.

Switching in Holmwood without missing a service
Most Holmwood 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 Holmwood: 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 RH5 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
It becomes a delivery you stop noticing
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Dorking and Abinger 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.
Through the changeover, Holmwood keeps laying up as normal.

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 -
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 -
Grooming generates heavy, fur-filled towels and specialist bedding that a standard machine cannot handle. Everything is collected and returned allergen-free, fluffy and sterilised. Top marks for taking on the difficult jobs.
Natasha Petrov Head Groomer & Manager · Pet grooming & daycare -
Table presentation is everything in Mayfair. They handle our heavy cotton damask tablecloths and chef whites with real precision — stains vanish and the starch finish is always spot on. The daily collection has never let us down.
Mateo Rossi Restaurant General Manager · Fine dining restaurant -
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

The area
Holmwood — what the round has to work around
A peaceful residential area bordering the vast and ancient Holmwood Common. Unique to Holmwood.
Kitchens here sit on the RH5 round, close enough to the plant that a disrupted run is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's sheet.

Holmwood questions, answered
Is Holmwood on one of your rounds?
1 restaurants in Holmwood sit inside the area we already collect from, 25.3 miles from our Wembley plant. and 1 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Dorking, Abinger and Capel — they sit on the same run, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles — and that is what keeps a small account viable here.
- 7 days collections, in a window agreed when the account opens rather than assigned by a routing system on the morning.
- a 25.3-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.
How do you deal with grease, wine and wax in Holmwood?
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. 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, not melted through the fabric by a hot cycle, which is what sets it permanently.
Is kitchenwear on the same RH5 round?
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, ready to hang up — which is the only state a chef jacket is useful in.
- 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.
Can several Mole Valley venues share a contract?
One contact for all of them. Running several Mole Valley sites through one account is the common case here, not a special arrangement.
- 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 on one invoice, itemised by site — one number for finance, the detail for whoever asks.
- Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.
When do you collect in Holmwood — will it clash with service?
Before the doors, not during them. The RH5 round is planned around service times, which is the difference between a supplier who works here and one who merely delivers 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 25.3-mile plant means the fix is hours away rather than days.
Holmwood is quiet midweek and full at weekends — does that work?
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 Holmwood — 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 of live usage and adjusted, with no renegotiation and no change fee.
- Seasonal swing is expected — RH5 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
In Holmwood, 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 RH5 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 Holmwood 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?
Nothing is too small if you are on the round. Holmwood 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 — 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 directlyRewashing Holmwood linen is the real environmental cost
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 Holmwood 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 RH5 round serves Holmwood, Dorking and Abinger — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 25.3-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.
