A little about us.
McQueens Dairies brings the traditional milk round to modern households, with fresh milk and a growing range of breakfast and kitchen essentials delivered to the doorstep. Founded by Mick and Meg McQueen in St Andrews in 1995, the business began with a single milk round and remains a family affair, with all five of their children involved. They operate their own dairy and work with established suppliers to connect farms and food producers with customers. Their supplier network includes Yew Tree Dairy, which works with farmers in North West England and Scotland, Nith Valley free-range eggs, and Scottish yoghurt maker Rowan Glen. Reusable glass bottles are a central part of the service: empties are collected to be washed and used again. Customers can build a regular order online and check their postcode for available delivery days, with doorstep deliveries scheduled before 7am. Alongside home deliveries, McQueens also offers milk services for offices, nurseries and childminders.
What you’ll find
Milk for your everyday favourites: whole, semi-skimmed and skimmed milk, organic options, vitamin D-enriched milk, low-fat purple-top milk and lactose-free milk, with glass and plastic bottle options across the range. Something for every breakfast: plant-based alternatives including Oato and Oatly, banana, chocolate and strawberry milkshakes, orange and apple juice, and large free-range eggs. More for the fridge and kitchen: fresh double cream, yoghurts including products from Scottish maker Rowan Glen, and bread from a supplier whose brands include Kingsmill and Allinson’s. Milk carriers and other doorstep delivery accessories are also available. Check the McQueens online shop for the current selection and availability in your delivery area.
