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.

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.

There’s a wide range of kitchen and home cleaning products as well as logs for the fire, compost and birdseed for the garden.

Are you a soft-serve kind of person, or do you prefer something fruity and refreshing? Either way we all know ice-cream is a summer hit, with over 15.4 billion liters of ice cream being consumed annually. It probably comes as no surprise that the US has had an entire month dedicated to ice-cream for over 40 years. A joint resolution passed both houses of Congress, first designating July 1984 as National Ice Cream Month and 15th July as National Ice Cream Day, with President Reagan signing it into law on 9th July, 1984. We don’t need much more of an excuse than that to celebrate one of our favourite desserts, so here’s two great ways to raise a spoon to ice cream this July! […]
