General Questions
What is the Best of Local category on the homepage?
Bringing your local shops to your door, Best of Local is the latest addition to Creamline’s offering. We’ve handpicked a selection of Manchester and Cheshire’s very finest butchers, bakers, cheese specialists, grocery and fruit & veg suppliers, as well as deli items.
This new addition includes our existing fruit and veg service: you can still build your own fresh fruit and veg box choosing competitively priced items that you and your family want from a fantastic range at Manchester’s Smithfield Market.
We'll then deliver your box for FREE alongside your everyday milk, bread, eggs and other Daily Essentials. Quite simply, you choose what you want and as long as your order for a particular day is over £5 in value. We'll then deliver it on one of the available delivery days. During the Covid-19 period in order that we have enough stock for all our customers we may restrict the numbers of each item that may be purchased on any one day.
Head to our Best of Local shop, to find out more.
As a guide we will refer to the original part of our online offering as “Daily Essentials” which continues with the blue background theme, and the “Best of Local " which has a black background theme, just to let you know you are in a different part of the site.
The way of ordering is slightly different between each. To find out more just click on the Best of Local section of FAQs.
Where does my Creamline milk come from?
All Creamline milk comes from selected high-quality farms in the North West of England, within approximately 35-miles of our dairy in Eccles. These farms are principally in Cheshire and run by dedicated family farmers who we personally know well. We are proud to support local, British and Cheshire farmers and we hope you will be too! Why not read some of the personal stories about our farmers and milkmen in the Meet Us section.
Creamline Dairies don’t currently deliver in my area, what should I do?
Creamline’s own delivery rounds are mainly in and around Manchester, Stockport and Warrington but we do have affiliated independent rounds people who we supply with their milk. If they have registered their delivery area with us and you live within it, you will see contact details for them. Please call or email them and set up a delivery – it will be milk from us, but they will do all the delivery and billing using their own systems. Although these affiliates are very good at what they do, Creamline can only vouch for the quality of the milk that we supply to them.
Creamline is always looking at ways we can deliver to new doorsteps and if we can open up a new area to delivery or new houses are built in an area we are often able to add those postcodes in. So if we don’t currently deliver to your doorstep then please do complete our online postcode form via our website. We’ll then notify you when we have started delivering to your area.
