What goes wrong in Lime Street

Lime Street service starts before the doors do

Most kitchens in Lime Street do not change supplier because of price. They change because of a Friday that went wrong.

  • Late drops before a full book

    Traffic around Mansion House turns a morning drop into an afternoon one, and the team lays up with whatever is left in the cupboard.

  • Cloths that go out marked

    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

    Chef whites are the first thing to run short and the last thing anyone counts.

How it works

Lime Street kitchens, from count to round, in four moves

Four steps, then you stop noticing it.

Serving EC3M Since 2009
  1. Covers, not guesswork

    We look at a week of real service in Lime Street — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, how many cloths a turn actually costs you.

    Before anything changes

  2. Weekend-weighted stock

    Stock is weighted to the weekend, because that is the service where running short actually costs you something.

    No tie-in to change it

  3. Same day, same driver

    Collections settle into a window that sits outside service — not a two-hour promise that lands mid-lunch.

    Agreed, then kept

  4. Ready to lay up

    Everything arrives ready to use: linen pressed and counted, whites hung, cloths separated. No unpacking job at the start of a shift.

    Counted both ways

Running more than one site in City of London? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.

Standards

One plant, 9.3 miles from your pass

Nothing leaves the chain. Lime Street linen travels 9.3 miles to Wembley and back, through a plant we run ourselves.

That control is what lets us match the programme to the mark, instead of putting everything through the cycle that happened to be free.

Switching in Lime Street without missing a service

Most Lime Street 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.

  1. Before you commit

    An hour on site, before anything changes

    An hour in Lime Street: 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.

  2. Week two

    Both suppliers run at once

    Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the EC3M 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.

  3. Week three

    One round, one contact

    Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Langbourn and Cornhill 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Local knowledge

Lime Street — what the round has to work around

A unique residential pocket of Lime Street with a distinct local character and community spirit. Unique to Lime Street.

Lime Street is collected 7 days on a shared round, so a 24-cover room is priced on what it uses rather than on the journey.

Lime Street — what kitchens ask before switching

Is Lime Street on one of your rounds?

198 restaurants in Lime Street sit inside the area we already collect from, 9.3 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 123 cafés and 59 pubs and bars are on the same run.

  • Shared with Langbourn, Cornhill and Broad Street — 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 9.3-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.
Will marked Lime Street cloths come back marked?

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 rather than sent back for you to find. Re-treatment first, replacement only if it fails.
  • Wax is lifted before wash, not melted through the fabric by a hot cycle, which is what sets it permanently.
Do you do chef whites as well as table linen in Lime Street?

Front of house and back of house, one collection. Whites and cloths travel with the tablecloths, on one docket and one bill.

  • 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 — because sorting a mixed bag at 5pm is nobody's job.
  • Sizes are held in stock, and a change of size is a phone call rather than a reorder.
Can several City of London venues share a contract?

One contact for all of them. Running several City of London 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 Lime Street — will it clash with service?

Outside service, both ways. The EC3M slot is agreed before the account opens and does not move week to week — it is a fixed place on a round, not a two-hour window that lands mid-lunch.

  • 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 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 — the plant is 9.3 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.
Our Lime Street 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 Lime Street — because the figure that matters is what you actually get through, not what you ordered.
  • Reviewed after a full month once there is real data rather than a first guess — at no cost either way.
  • Seasonal swing is expected — EC3M 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 Lime Street?

Both, and most Lime Street 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 — the cost of a cloth reaching the end of its life sits with us, not with you.
  • Most Lime Street 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?

No minimum order. Lime Street is already on the round, so a small account costs us a stop rather than a journey — which is exactly why some suppliers quote a minimum here and we do not.

  • 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 to keep the price you were quoted — the rate does not change if you have a quiet January.
  • 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.

Getting it right first time in Lime Street

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 Lime Street 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 EC3M round serves Lime Street, Langbourn and Cornhill — 3 areas, one set of miles.
  • A 9.3-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.
  • A re-treated tablecloth costs a fraction of a replacement one, environmentally and otherwise.
