The TW9 problem
Kew tables should never wait on a van
TW9 has its own constraints — access, timing, and the roads around Kew Bridge. A supplier who does not know the area finds that out during your service, not theirs.
-
The van that arrives mid-service
A late run near Kew Bridge 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.
-
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.
How it works
Starting in Kew takes a week, not a quarter
Nothing here needs a decision from you after the first week.
-
The count
An hour looking at what Kew actually gets through: a midweek service, a full Saturday, and the difference between them.
Booked within days in TW9
-
Par levels that flex
We size to the peak and let the quiet days look over-supplied — the opposite arrangement fails when the room is full.
No tie-in to change it
-
A fixed slot
Collections settle into a window that sits outside service — not a two-hour promise that lands mid-lunch.
Timed around TW9 access
-
Pressed, sorted, counted
Pressed, counted, hung and bagged — the delivery is finished when it lands rather than when someone has sorted it.
Counted both ways
Running more than one site in Richmond upon Thames? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
Standards
Kew cloths are washed where we say they are
There is one building between your linen and ours: a plant in Wembley, 5.3 miles from Kew, that we own and run.
It is also why a chef jacket and a tablecloth get different treatment here — a subcontractor washes to their schedule, not your soil.

Changing supplier in Kew, without the Friday you are dreading
Most Kew 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
An hour on site, before anything changes
An hour in Kew: 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.
- Week two
You carry too much linen for a week, on purpose
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the TW9 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. Gunnersbury and North Sheen are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the plan cost you nothing either way.
Through the changeover, Kew keeps laying up as normal.

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 -
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 -
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 -
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.

About Kew
Why Kew is collected the way it is
A thriving neighbourhood in Kew, known for its local charm and convenient London connectivity. Unique to Kew.
Kew is collected 7 days on a shared round, so a 24-cover room is priced on what it uses rather than on the journey.

Kew operators usually ask these first
Do you serve restaurants in Kew?
35 restaurants in Kew sit inside the area we already collect from, 5.3 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 40 cafés and 26 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Gunnersbury, North Sheen and South Acton — one vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a kitchen here without adding a journey, and why the price does not carry a delivery surcharge.
- 7 days collections, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
- a 5.3-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.
What happens to stained napkins from a Kew service?
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, cold and mechanically — a hot cycle is what makes candle wax permanent.
Do you do chef whites as well as table linen in Kew?
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 the right cloth is where it should be before service starts.
- Sizes are held in stock, and a change of size is a phone call rather than a reorder.
We run more than one site around Richmond upon Thames — one account?
Yes, and it usually costs less. Sites on the same Richmond upon Thames rounds share the journey, which is the whole reason a group rate exists.
- 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.
What time does the van come in Kew?
Never during service. Your TW9 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 Kew Bridge 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 — we come back the same day. At 5.3 miles that is a decision, not a logistics exercise.
Our Kew covers swing hard. How is stock set?
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 Kew — 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 — TW9 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
We own our linen — will you launder it in Kew?
Both, and most Kew accounts run both. Hired table linen where volume is high, owned whites where the branding matters.
- Owned stock stays yours. Nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look tidier, and you keep every item you already paid for.
- Hire covers replacement — wear, loss and staining are ours to carry rather than a line that appears on your invoice each quarter.
- Most Kew accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
Is a small Kew café too small for you?
No, and no tie-in either. A 24-cover room in Kew 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.
Not covered here?
Ask us directlyThe cheapest wash for Kew 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 Kew 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 TW9 round serves Kew, Gunnersbury and North Sheen — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 5.3-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.
- Oil and wine marks are re-treated before an item is retired. Most recover.
