The surge in milk deliveries has increased during the Corona Virus but we hope that our new customers appreciate how handy it is to wake up to fresh milk ....one less thing to worry about π₯
It was another cold night last night for our delivery team and we have had lots of questions this morning about waking up to frozen milk. Milk can be frozen and defrosted so is safe to drink and be enjoyed. Our little customer Elise was amazed to see this .π₯Άπ₯Ά
We have now added Oat Milk in Glass Bottles to our range of products πΎ
Oato is a creamy βnon-dairyβ alternative to milk, which is lactose, nut, sugar and soy free. You can add oat milk in your online account or place a new order in our online shop:
π Merry Christmas from all at McQueens π
We want to say thank you to all our wonderful customers and we hope you have a wonderful, relaxing and safe time over this festive period. Here's to 2021! π
At McQueens Dairies, not a drop of milk we sell will not be British. We work with a farmer-owned co-operative called First Milk. It's the only dairy co-operative in the UK 100% owned by its local British farmers, and we have been working with them since we opened our first dairy.
Gear up for our festive 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway! π Starting 1st December, win daily prizes. Stay tuned to our social media channels for your chance to winπ

"McQueens Dairies has been a life saver during recent times. I rely on my milk deliveries and they never failed to deliver. I'm so grateful for the service and thanks to the milk delivery person"
Our customer Shelly-Anne is coping with
#lockdown
by giving our milkman some challenges when he drops of milk during the night. Our milkman went for

What do you think about that
@McDonalds
? πππ
We value our milkmen/women and want to thank them for their hard work, as well as all the staff at McQueens.
Whilst delivering during the night, our drivers are being greeted with a note/drawing of appreciation from our customers and it has certainly put a smile on all our faces!
Hey Twitter Fam!π Just a heads up, we're not able to actively manage comments here, but we are all ears on facebook! π£ Drop by our Facebook page for any queries you may have π
McQueens Dairies are committed to updating the doorstep delivery and as company we want to sell the highest quality milk. We want to ensure milkmen donβt become a thing of the past & we believe that with the right product and delivery service there is still room for the milkman.
The demand for milk delivery was on the increase with people looking to reduce their plastic. We never expected the growth in 2020 when the pandemic hit. People relied on non-contact deliveries but it's been great that customers loved the service so much they continued.
There is no doubt that the demand for doorstep delivery increased during 2020. With this increase, came an increase in jobs. McQueens Dairies now employ over 600 members of staff who work to ensure customer satisfaction.
Happy New Year from all the staff and family at McQueens Dairies. We hope you have a happy, healthy and safe New Year and thank you again for your custom throughout this difficult year.
"First time using McQueesns today and the delivery man didn't even wake up my dog when delivery the milk early this morning! Bonus! Orange juice and milk waiting at the door. One very happy customer" - Anna on Trustpilot
Having started out with a single milk round in St Andrews 25 years ago, Mick and Meg McQueen gradually expanded into new towns and streets and now deliver to thousands of households in the UK

- The clink of glass milk bottles may be a distant memory but the demand is returning as we learn more about the benefits of living a more sustainable life. Reusable milk bottles are just 1 way to reduce your plastic use and you can feel good about doing so.
During an uncertain time, it's the simple things that help to keep everyone going. Our milk men and women have been greeted with bright rainbows in windows, on pavements and on doorsteps drawn by some of our little customers and it sure does bring a smile to all our faces π

Thank you to each and every customer over the last few weeks who have left letters and drawings of appreciation to their milk delivery person. It is greatly appreciated and at a time so uncertain, these little acts of kindness mean a lot to everyone at McQueens Dairies.
McQueens Dairies are delighted to be sponsoring Oor Wullie's Big Bucket Trail in support of Children's Hospital Charities.

Five years ago McQueens Dairies had 30 employees and today we have over 400! βItβs the continuing support of our customers that has allowed us to grow and create jobs. Without them, this wouldn't have been possible.β - Mick McQueen
Our glass bottles are reused more than 25 times. This is why we ask all our wonderful customers to rinse them out and leave them for the milk man/woman the night of their delivery!
"Iβm more than thankful the McQueens were able to take me on board as a customer during this time, not only that they were able to amend my order as well and all done with it he timescales they have stated." Laura on Trust pilot. Place an order today
Rinse & Return - our glass bottles are reusable for around 25 times before they are sent to the recycling. Customers enjoy having their glass bottle milk delivery straight to their doorstep

For decades, the sound of fresh milk being delivered was a distant memory, but with the growth of supermarket chains, milk rounds became part of history π₯
Self-isolation and lack of supermarket delivery slots in March drove a lot of customers to switch to milk deliveriesπ₯
At McQueens Dairies, we want to make sure milkmen donβt become a thing of the past and we believe that with the right product and delivery service there is still room in the future for the milkman π₯π§ββοΈ
Today is
#CowAppreciationDay
, a day to appreciate such animals and thank the farmers too who work continuously hard to ensure milk we all receive our milk loved and needed milk!
Meet Linzi - She is a customer service adviser at McQueens Dairies.
"My favourite memory is when I had a call from a lady, she told me it had been 3 weeks since she had spoken to anyone. I stayed on the phone to cheer her up. It's a memory that will stay with me."
We want to say a massive THANK YOU to all our hard working milkmen and women this year. You have continued to supply us with essentials during a tough year and we appreciate every milk bottle you have delivered to us ππ»

The nostalgia of having a milkman walk up your path to deliver your milk is a feeling that will bring back many memories. Many customers feedback that their children love collecting the milk from the doorstep. It's nice to think this tradition is being passed through generations!
Our little customers have been very busy recently. When not drawing rainbows to display in window's, they are helping to make delicious meals and smoothies!
At McQueens Dairies, not a drop of milk we sell will not be British. We work with a farmer-owned co-operative called First Milk. It's the only dairy co-operative in the UK 100% owned by its local British farmers, and we have been working with them since we opened our first dairy.
What a fantastic year itβs been, and itβs all thanks to YOU β our incredible customers!
We never imagined, over 25 years ago, that our small family business would come this far. Thanks for being part of our journey β€οΈ

"I have been using McQueens Dairies for well over 5 years, always delivered, great customer service and even in tough times like we have just now, they're still delivering and contactable via Live Chat. I would highly recommend to anyone"
Even our milkmen are having a night off tonight so they don't disturb Santa.
We have left some milk, cookies and carrots out for Santa and his Reindeer's. What treats are you leaving for him? We would love to see your photos.
This year, rather than provide gifts to customers, we have decided to donate to Magic Breakfast.
Magic Breakfast provides healthy school breakfasts to hungry children in disadvantaged areas of the UK β weβre sure youβll agree itβs a very worthwhile cause
2022 you have been udderly great but now itβs time to welcome 2023! Thank you to all of our amazing McQueens customers for their support this year! π
"5 stars for McQueens. The service has been nothing short of excellent and I would highly recommend" Thanks Janice for your kind review! πππππ

Rinse and return is exactly what it sounds like; once you have finished with your milk bottles you rinse them out π₯
The bottles are returned where they are sterilised, refilled and made ready for delivery again π

Home milk delivery from local dairies was the norm for many families up to the eighties. As it became easier and cheaper to buy milk at the supermarket people stopped getting a home milk delivery. The demand on glass bottles in the 20th century has made this the norm now.
