As a family-run business since 1952, we’re as integral to our local community today as we were half a century ago. Our new brand image reflects ‘milk-delivery’ as one of England’s classic artisan brands, committed to traditional techniques, sustainability, recycling, and sourcing locally whenever possible. Our combination of reliability, range of products, online ordering, and a personal touch is what sets us apart from supermarkets and internet-based food delivery companies.
Welcome to the original home delivery service! We’ve been delivering fresh local milk and produce way before there were supermarket deliveries, in fact way before supermarkets even existed!
Plumbs’ Dairy has been in the family since 1952 when our grandfather Henry Plumb first took off on a horse and cart, on his first milk round.
Today, we have expanded on Henry’s simple vision of supplying fresh local milk and produce, without fuss, to local people, and now our range exceeds over 1000 products for the home and garden. As well as fresh breads, meats, fruit & veg, eggs and dairy, we now have a huge range for the pantry including chutneys, jams, honey and oils for cooking. There’s a wide range of kitchen and home cleaning products as well as logs for the fire, compost and birdseed for the garden.
