Nicer than the big supermarket

Compared with the supermarket home delivery we tried, this one feels far more personal. The milkman knows our name and always leaves the bottles neatly. The cream is lovely and the bill is clear each month. Very pleased.

easy and tasty

Honestly the easiest way I've found to get milk without going to the shop. Sign up takes about five minutes on the site and you can pick the day you want. The milk tastes lush and the bottles arrive cold. Only thing is the bottles are a bit awkward to keep in my fridge door.

Still going strong after years

Been having the weekly order for a good few years now and it's still the best milk I can buy. Deliveries have been reliable through all sorts of weather. Changing the order on the site is quick and the customer team always sorts any mix ups fast. Sticking with them.

The glass bottles

I got the glass bottles of whole milk and they're proper nice. The delivery was a bit late the first time and I had to ring them. Taste is decent though.

Pricey and the slot was a pain

I needed milk and bread delivered without having to queue at the shop after work. I looked at a couple of other doorstep services before picking this one. The prices are noticeably higher than the supermarket, and I had to wait four days for my first delivery slot to open up. When it arrived the milk was fine, but I'm not sure it's worth the extra money for us.

better than the supermarket run

Compared with the big supermarket van slots, this was much easier to set up and I didn't have to wait for a gap. First order arrived the next morning in a proper cool box and everything was there. The only thing is the minimum spend is a bit higher than I'd like for a small household, but the milk tastes fresh and I'll keep using it.

You know the stuff already

I've been buying milk from doorstep services for years so I know what to look for. The detail that stood out most is that the bottle tops are foil, which keeps the milk tasting right for longer. Delivery was on the morning I picked and the bottles were cold. It's a little dearer per pint than the others I've tried, but the taste is worth it.

The cream top is ace

I bought the single cream and the semi skimmed in glass bottles to see how they compared with the tetra packs at the shop. The cream has a proper thick top layer on it and the bottles were all intact when they came. Order page is simple and the delivery van has always been on time. Been a customer for ages and not had a single bad delivery.

bit pricier than the shop

Compared with the corner shop this is a fair bit dearer per pint, but I'm not running out at 8pm anymore so I'll take it. The app was a bit slow to load when I tried to change my delivery day, and it took a couple of tries. The milk itself is good, the glass bottles are a nice touch and they came on time. Just watch the prices when you add extras.

The glass bottles are lush

Got the whole milk in glass bottles and honestly the cream on top is the bit that got me. Proper thick and it tastes like actual milk, not the watery stuff from the shop. Delivery came on the day they said, no fuss. Will keep ordering, uni budget be damned.

glass bottles of whole milk

I tried two other local dairies before this and went for the whole milk in glass bottles. It's properly creamy and the bottles come back clean when I leave them out. Delivery has been spot on.

first order, very happy so far

I signed up a fortnight ago and my first order was a pint of semi skimmed, a pint of whole and a small tub of single cream, all in glass. The sign up took about five minutes on the site and I picked a Thursday slot. The bottles arrived on Thursday morning, still cold, and the milk tastes fresher than what I was getting from the supermarket. I'll be sticking with it.

knows the milk well

I've had milk from a few doorstep dairies over the years, so I know a decent pint. The detail that stood out most is how thick the cream is in the glass top. The order page could be a bit easier to find things on, but once it's set up it's simple. The deliveries have been fine and the milk has never gone off early.

very reliable doorstep service

We needed a regular delivery after my husband's hip operation made the trip to the shops too much for him, and I was worried about managing it myself. The milk and eggs have arrived on time every week since we set it up, and the driver is always polite and patient with us. The order page is clear enough that I can change things without ringing anyone, which suits me very well. We are very pleased with it so far.

why I switched from the shop

I was tired of rushing to the shop for milk and bread every few days, so I started comparing doorstep services. This one came out ahead on the choice of organic milk and seasonal produce. The order page is a bit clunky on my phone, but the deliveries are dependable and the milk is good. Worth a look if you want less shopping to do.

The milk tastes fresher

I looked at a few options before settling on this, mostly because I wanted glass bottles. The thing that stood out most is how fresh the whole milk tastes compared with what I got before. The sell by dates are always a few days out too. Happy so far and would order again.

better than the old milkround

Compared with the old milkround we used years ago, this is much more flexible with the days. I can change the order without needing to leave a note in the bottle. The milk is still delivered in glass and it tastes just as good as it did back then. Very happy with the service.

A lovely weekly service

We have been receiving our weekly order for some months now, and I am pleased to say it has been a pleasure throughout. The milk is delivered cold and the bottles are collected neatly on the next visit. The team are courteous when we ring with any queries. It is a good service for an older household.

Really good, easy to sort

Honestly the easiest milk delivery I've used. Set it up on the app in a few minutes and I can pause it whenever I'm away. The yoghurt is lush and the drivers are always friendly. Nothing to moan about.

Set up was a bit fiddly

We needed a weekly delivery of milk and eggs since my wife can no longer get to the shops easily. Setting it up on the website took longer than I expected, as I had to re enter the address twice before it went through. Once it was running, the deliveries have been very dependable and the eggs arrive unbroken. A minor niggle at the start but nothing serious.
