Doorstep Milk Deliveries

Milkman delivering a pinta

The UK’s 9,500 milkmen and women deliver to around 5 million homes every day. Whilst fresh liquid milk in environmentally friendly returnable glass milk bottles remains the cornerstone of this service, your milkman can also offer a large range of other goods. They will be more than happy to discuss the range of products that can be delivered regularly to your doorstep.

Your milkman can provide you with a choice of milks, including pasteurised whole milk (3.5 – 4% fat), pasteurised semi-skimmed milk (1.7% fat), pasteurised skimmed milk (0.1% fat) and, of course, organic milk.

The majority of milkmen now deliver a whole range of goods other than milk. Your milkman can deliver traditional products such as butter, eggs, bread, cheese and potatoes. However, a wide range of other products are available including mineral waters, carbonates, flavoured milks, household products, the famous Dairy Diary and even cookbooks. Why not ask your milkman for a leaflet listing all the products they can provide?

The nation’s milkmen and ladies are truly early birds, with most milkrounds starting in the early hours of the morning, with delivery staff providing an essential service, as well as being the eyes and ears of the local community. You would be amazed at the important role milkmen and ladies play in the local community, from rendering help and assistance to customers, to preventing fires and serious crime. The cream of the crop of the nation’s milkmen are recognised through the Milkman Heroes scheme and also in the annual Milkman of The Year competition.
