Why Costs Are Rising (But Your Milkman Still Shows Up) 🥛🚪

Let’s be honest…
everything seems to be getting more expensive at the moment.

Fuel, energy, food… even a cheeky takeaway now feels like a financial decision.

And yes — even your friendly neighbourhood milkman is feeling it too.

But don’t worry… we’re not about to start watering the milk down 👀

(That’s strictly not allowed… and also… we’d get caught immediately.)

🚚 The Cost of Getting to Your Door (At Silly O’Clock)

While most people are fast asleep dreaming about their morning cuppa, we’re already out delivering.

But these days:

• Fuel prices go up more often than the sun
• Vans cost more to fix than we’d like to admit
• Insurance companies seem to think milk floats are Formula 1 cars

So every round costs a bit more to run than it used to.

🥛 The Truth About Milk (It Doesn’t Just Appear…)

We work with brilliant suppliers like Cotteswold Dairy to make sure you’re getting top-quality milk.

But behind every bottle is a whole chain of rising costs:

• Farmers paying more for feed and energy
• Glass bottles costing more to produce (and replace when they mysteriously vanish 👀)
• Processing and refrigeration getting pricier

Milk might look simple… but there’s a lot going on behind the scenes.

🧊 Keeping It Cool (Literally)

Your milk doesn’t just magically stay fresh.

We’ve got:

• Refrigeration running day and night
• Storage and logistics to manage
• Teams working behind the scenes while the rest of the world sleeps

And with energy prices where they are… let’s just say the fridge bill isn’t small.

👨‍🌾 Why We Don’t Cut Corners

We could do what the big supermarkets do…

…but then we wouldn’t be us.

We’re here to:

• Support British farmers 🇬🇧
• Deliver locally
• Reuse glass bottles (when they make their way back to us 😄)

It’s the right way to do things — even if it’s not the cheapest.

💙 What This Means for You

We always try to keep prices as fair as possible.

Any changes we make aren’t taken lightly — they’re about keeping the milk round going strong, not just for today, but for the long run.

Because no one wants to wake up to an empty doorstep… tragic stuff.

🥛 Thanks for Backing Your Milkman

Every order helps keep this tradition alive.

You’re not just buying milk — you’re supporting:

• Local jobs
• British farms
• A service that still runs while the rest of the world hits snooze

And for that… we genuinely appreciate you.
