Why Shinfield kitchens switch
Linen in Shinfield should be the thing you never think about
RG2 has its own constraints — access, timing, and the roads around Wokingham. A supplier who does not know the area finds that out during your service, not theirs.
-
The van that arrives mid-service
Traffic around Wokingham turns a morning drop into an afternoon one, and the team lays up with whatever is left in the cupboard.
-
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.
-
Running out on a Friday
A stock level built around a Tuesday does not survive a full Saturday in Shinfield.
How it works
Four steps from first call to first Shinfield collection
Nothing here needs a decision from you after the first week.
-
The count
An hour looking at what Shinfield actually gets through: a midweek service, a full Saturday, and the difference between them.
An hour, on site
-
Par levels that flex
Par is set to your busiest day, not your average one, so a full Saturday does not empty the cupboard by Sunday lunch.
Reviewed after a full month
-
Your place on the round
Collections settle into a window that sits outside service — not a two-hour promise that lands mid-lunch.
Timed around RG2 access
-
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.
One invoice, one contact
Running more than one site in Wokingham? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
Behind the round
Shinfield linen is not subcontracted
Nothing leaves the chain. Shinfield linen travels 30.1 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 Shinfield without missing a service
Most Shinfield 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 Shinfield: 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 overlap
The old round and the new one overlap
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the RG2 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. Arborfield and Spencers Wood are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
We do not ask you to break a contract early. If you are tied in, we plan the start date around your notice period.
Through the changeover, Shinfield keeps laying up as normal.

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.
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.

About Shinfield
Why Shinfield is collected the way it is
A popular residential village undergoing high-end growth, centered around its historic village green. Unique to Shinfield.
Kitchens here sit on the RG2 round, close enough to the plant that a disrupted run is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's sheet.

Shinfield — what kitchens ask before switching
Do you serve restaurants in Shinfield?
3 restaurants in Shinfield sit inside the area we already collect from, 30.1 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 1 cafés and 4 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Arborfield, Spencers Wood and Earley — 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 30.1-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.
How do you deal with grease, wine and wax in Shinfield?
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 so the decision about whether a cloth is still good enough is ours, not yours at 6pm.
- Wax is lifted before wash, because heat drives it into the weave and fixes it there for good.
Is kitchenwear on the same RG2 round?
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 Wokingham — one account?
Yes, and it usually costs less. Sites on the same Wokingham rounds share the journey, which is the whole reason a group rate exists.
- 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 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.
Can you work around our service times in RG2?
Outside service, both ways. The RG2 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.
- 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 — we come back the same day. At 30.1 miles that is a decision, not a logistics exercise.
Can par levels handle a full Saturday in Shinfield?
We size the account on your peak. Averaging a quiet Tuesday with a full Saturday produces a number that is wrong on both nights.
- We count a real week in Shinfield — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
- Reviewed after a full month of live usage and adjusted, with no renegotiation and no change fee.
- Seasonal swing is expected — RG2 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
Is the RG2 service hire only, or wash-only as well?
Either, and mixed accounts are normal. Hire from us, or we launder stock you already own — the RG2 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 Shinfield accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
Is a small Shinfield café too small for you?
No minimum order. Shinfield 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 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 directlyRewashing Shinfield 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 Shinfield 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 RG2 round serves Shinfield, Arborfield and Spencers Wood — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 30.1-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
- Water from the final rinse is recovered and feeds the next wash rather than the drain.
- Stained napkins are worked on twice before they leave the count — replacement is the last resort.
