Nottingham residents can claim their free grocery box as part of a new milk delivery service launching in the area.

The sight of milk floats delivering fresh milk, bread and eggs to Nottingham residents will be spotted again in the early morning after a group of friends launched a new ‘sustainable’ delivery service offering milk, meat, fresh bread, eggs and over 150 other grocery products.

Residents can check their postcode here to see if they are eligible for The Modern Milkman service and claim a free grocery box that can keep deliveries at the correct temperature. 

The service delivers milk in real glass bottles and collects them afterwards, while other items are all packed in sustainable packaging. According to the founders it also offers more unusual deliveries ranging from iced oak lattes to brownies - something that has proved a hit with customers.

A spokesperson for the company said: “Our story began when four friends and I shared a vision: to bring back the traditional milkman but with a modern twist, focused on reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainability. Armed with just a van and a passion for the environment, we set out to make a difference. We wanted to offer fresh, plastic-free products delivered straight to your doorstep, making it easier for everyone to live more sustainably.

“As cold dark months approach subscribers of The Modern Milkman enjoy farm fresh groceries delivered straight to their door, not having to go on long walks in the rain to the grocery store for essentials.”

Deliveries can be ordered through an app and next day delivery is available on orders made before 8pm the previous day. The company promises to deliver before 7.30am.

Anna Atanasova, a customer, says: “We've been using the Modern Milkman for about a month now and are very happy with the service - everything arrives before we wake up and it's right in front of our front door. And the best thing is that you save on tons of plastic because you can leave your old bottles and they will be collected the next delivery.”
