What goes wrong in Nunhead
Nunhead service starts before the doors do
The difference between a supplier who works in Nunhead and one who merely delivers to it shows up on the third Saturday, not the first.
-
Deliveries that miss service
Traffic around Queens Road Peckham turns a morning drop into an afternoon one, and the team lays up with whatever is left in the cupboard.
-
Linen the customer notices
A creased cloth is a two-second judgement made before anyone has read the menu.
-
Running out on a Friday
A stock level built around a Tuesday does not survive a full Saturday in Nunhead.
From first call to first collection in Nunhead
Set up once in Nunhead, then stop thinking about it
Most of the work happens before the first collection, and most of it is ours.
-
Covers, not guesswork
An hour looking at what Nunhead actually gets through: a midweek service, a full Saturday, and the difference between them.
Booked within days in SE15
-
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.
Adjusted, not renegotiated
-
Same day, same driver
You get a fixed place on the SE15 round at 7 days, timed around service rather than around the vehicle.
Outside service hours
-
Back before the doors
Everything arrives ready to use: linen pressed and counted, whites hung, cloths separated. No unpacking job at the start of a shift.
One invoice, one contact
Running more than one site in Southwark? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
How it is processed
One plant, 12.0 miles from your pass
Nothing leaves the chain. Nunhead linen travels 12.0 miles to Wembley and back, through a plant we run ourselves.
It also means kitchen soil is treated as kitchen soil — grease, wine and wax on the right programme, not whatever the machine was already running.

Switching in Nunhead without missing a service
Most Nunhead 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
We count a real week, not an average one
An hour in Nunhead: 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 SE15 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.
- Week three
Your day, your window, your account manager
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Brockley and Crofton Park 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.
The week you switch is the week nobody in Nunhead notices.

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.
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 -
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

The area
Nunhead — what the round has to work around
A thriving neighbourhood in Nunhead, known for its local charm and convenient London connectivity. Unique to Nunhead.
Kitchens here sit on the SE15 round, close enough to the plant that a disrupted run is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's sheet.

Nunhead questions, answered
Do you serve restaurants in Nunhead?
62 restaurants in Nunhead sit inside the area we already collect from, 12.0 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 48 cafés and 35 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Brockley, Crofton Park and Peckham — 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, on a fixed day and time that does not drift week to week.
- a 12.0-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 Nunhead?
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. Sorting after the wash is too late; the grease has already moved.
- 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.
Can Nunhead chef jackets go with the tablecloths?
Same round, same invoice. Chef jackets, aprons, trousers, oven cloths and kitchen cloths are collected with the table linen — there is no second supplier and no second delivery day to remember.
- 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.
We run more than one site around Southwark — one account?
One contact for all of them. Running several Southwark sites through one account is the common case here, not a special arrangement.
- Each site keeps its own par level. A 30-cover bistro and a 200-cover brasserie should not carry the same stock, and averaging them is how one site runs short every weekend.
- 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 Nunhead?
Never during service. Your SE15 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 Queens Road Peckham 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 — a 12.0-mile plant means the fix is hours away rather than days.
Our Nunhead covers swing hard. How is stock set?
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 Nunhead — 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 and changed if the first number was wrong. It often is, in both directions.
- Seasonal swing is expected — SE15 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 Nunhead?
Either, and mixed accounts are normal. Hire from us, or we launder stock you already own — the SE15 round collects both the same way and on the same docket.
- 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 Nunhead 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. Nunhead 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 — 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.
Something specific to your kitchen?
Ask us directlyRewashing Nunhead 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 Nunhead 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 SE15 round serves Nunhead, Brockley and Crofton Park — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 12.0-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.
