What goes wrong
The New Southgate shift starts badly before anyone touches a pan
Almost nobody around N11 changes linen supplier to save money. They change because the same thing went wrong three weeks running.
-
Whites that are not actually white
Grease and protein need their own wash. Run through a front-of-house cycle they build up, and a New Southgate brigade ends up in jackets that look tired in a month.
-
Sizes that turn into a scramble
Nobody should be hunting for their size at the start of service. Sized and named means the rail is ready and nobody is rummaging.
-
Deliveries that land mid-prep
Prep is the worst possible window and it is the one most suppliers hit. The N11 round is sequenced to miss it.
How it works
Getting a New Southgate kitchen onto the round
Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the sizing and the timing right and the service stops being something the pass has to think about.
-
The count
Every section sized in person. Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong, and it is not something a form gets right.
An hour, on site
-
The round
N11 already has a collection day. We fit you to it and agree a time that sits outside prep and outside service.
N11 · 7 days
-
The switch
The changeover in New Southgate overlaps by design — the new rail is hung while the old contract is still running.
No gap in service
-
The account
The same person handles New Southgate every week, which is why a size change does not need explaining twice.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one kitchen around Barnet? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
Your New Southgate whites, washed by us and nobody else
There are two buildings between your linen and ours, and we own both. New Southgate collections run 7.1 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
Kitchen soil is classified separately from front of house. Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash and their own temperature, so chef whites never run through whatever cycle the table linen was on.

Switching supplier in New Southgate without a shift in mixed whites
Most New Southgate kitchens stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like a risk on a Friday. It is not.
- Before you commit
We size the brigade properly
An hour on site: every section, every size, and the garments that wear out first. Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong.
- The handover
Whites land before the old supplier stops
You are never between suppliers. The new rail is hung before the last collection of the old contract.
- After
New starters go on the account the same week
A new commis does not wait for the next order cycle. Sizing changes go through your account manager and land on the next round.
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.

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 -
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
Why New Southgate is collected the way it is
A well-connected commuter neighbourhood with a mix of Victorian and modern residential styles. Unique to New Southgate.
Kitchens here sit on the N11 round, and the window that matters is prep rather than service — New Southgate is close enough that a disrupted run is a second trip that day.

New Southgate questions, answered
Do you collect in New Southgate?
Yes — New Southgate sits on the N11 round, 7 days, 7.1 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Arnos Grove, Friern Barnet and Barnet — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
- The driver knows the service entrances around Arnos Grove and New Southgate — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your back door.
- A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 7.1 miles buys you.
- 51 kitchens around N11 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.
What is the difference between hire and wash-only in N11?
Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of New Southgate kitchens run half and half.
- Hire — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
- Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
- Plenty of kitchens do both — the embroidery matters on the jacket, rarely on the oven cloth.
- You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.
What stops grease transferring between loads?
Separately, and at its own temperature.
- Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — and their own temperature.
- Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — that transfer is what dulls a brigade's whites inside a month.
- Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
- Every load is temperature logged — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.
What does a kitchen account cost in New Southgate?
There is no honest price list for kitchen work. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.
- We count a real week in New Southgate before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
- No minimum order — so a small kitchen is a normal account.
- The count includes your busy season — a New Southgate kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
- The count and the quote cost nothing — and commit you to nothing.
Is catering different from restaurant work?
Yes. Contract catering, schools and care homes are all on the rounds.
- 18 school kitchens around N11 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
- 6 care home kitchens nearby — sites that need an audit trail get colour-coded cloths and named whites as standard.
- Colour-coded cloths and named whites — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
- Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Barnet, not as separate customers.
What happens when the New Southgate brigade changes?
We size the brigade before quoting, not after the first complaint.
- Every section is sized at setup — not estimated from a headcount.
- A new commis goes on the account the same week — a phone call to your account manager, not a reorder.
- Garments are named — so nobody is sorting a mixed box at the start of a shift.
- Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real New Southgate month rather than a first guess.
Will the drop land in the middle of prep?
That is the point of putting New Southgate on the N11 round rather than a separate trip.
- The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
- Timed around Arnos Grove and the traffic that comes with it.
- If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.
- A relief driver inherits the window with the route — so cover weeks do not become the weeks it goes wrong.
What is the commitment for an New Southgate account?
No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.
- Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a summer volume you do not use in February.
- Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will size your brigade while you are still under someone else.
- Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.
- If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.
Something specific to your New Southgate kitchen?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one New Southgate does not repeat
Most of the environmental cost of kitchen linen is rewashing and replacing it. Classifying kitchen soil properly the first time does more than any claim on a van.
- The N11 round is a shared journey rather than a separate trip to New Southgate.
- Getting grease and protein out first time is what stops jackets being binned early.
- Hire garments are repaired and rotated rather than binned at the first scorch mark.
- Over four fifths of our central London vehicles are electric.
