Written by the company

Our milk comes direct from the farm to us – Welsh milk, from Welsh cows, bottled in Wales. Sourced in Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, all our milk is produced within a forty-mile radius of our bottling plant here in Haverfordwest. At Totally Welsh, our aim is to keep Welsh milk here in Wales. By keeping things local and reducing food miles, we offer milk that is fresher for our consumers and better for the environment too. We’re lucky to have such lush and beautiful pastures for our cows to graze on in West Wales. We believe that this is what makes our milk taste so great.

HI Rosette,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. If you can reply with some more information I would like to get in contact with the store as we have not heard any feedback from them to say they were getting returns. Our milk is bottled and tested under the strictest conditions, along every stage of its life cycle, until it leaves the lorry for delivery, we will very quickly be able to tell where the issue lies.
Kind Regards

I have been with Totally Welsh for many…

I have been with Totally Welsh for many years. They are very reliable re delivery and offer a range of items that are difficult for me to obtain otherwise.
However the milk I receive is often not of the best quality and on a couple of occasions has been sour. Twice in recent weeks the milk has been ‘on the turn’ on arrival and gone off within 24 hours well within the use by date. This is all very wasteful and expensive.

It used to be good but now milk goes off.

Actual service provided is good but they deliver in early hours of morning
and haven’t responded effectively to our complaint about milk being on doorstep from just after midnight but more commonly between 1am and 2.30am. Even skimmed milk has gone off - had to pour away 4 pints and got a refund. Not satisfactory at all now temperatures are increasing towards the summer. We got a bland reply from office about “issues being dealt with” but not much change over the last 3-4 weeks so considering cancelling after 3 years with them. They’re also failing to take direct debit payments despite having authority to do so which means we’re locked out of account when we need to change order unless we pay on a bank card. It’s confusing when this happens as you have to keep checking that they haven’t already taken the direct debit. Much room for improvement. If difficulty delivering at 5-6am milkman could do evening deliveries so at least we could take milk into the house and fridge before going to bed! Not happy and inadequate response to complaints.

From four deliveries a week to two…

From four deliveries a week to two because of the ‘carbon footprint.’ The milk is much more expensive than the supermarket but I was prepared to pay that but not with two deliveries a week. Very, very disappointing.

Hello L Nic
Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback good or poor.

We have taken these decisions to make sure that the milk round in particular area is sustainable for now and protect the round for the future. We understand that changing from Monday, Wednesday, Friday deliveries to Monday, Thursday is not ideal but there are many reason for this decision and 2 of them being our sustainability target to reduce our carbon footprint and the milkman's work / life balance.

Obviously on top of this increased prices across the board including fuel and electricity has also forced us to make this decision.

We are sorry to lose you as a customer and the service is always there if you wish to use it and we do hope to see you back again soon.

What a first class company!

I switched over to this milk delivery company (after having a nightmare milkman previously) one of my better decisions, they are very very professional. First class delivery,proper fresh product,clear billing very friendly and efficient head office staff. I was overwhelmed by the bunches of daffodils they delivered with my milk on St David's day. I am totally,totally wedded to this company and cannot recommend too highly,they are the rolls Royce of dairy deliveries.

Andy my milkman is reliable and print

Andy my milkman is reliable and print, doesn’t mind being welcomed by a chorus of dogs. The comfort given knowing that through lockdown he’d deliver not just the milk but other staples too was a godsend. I’d do & have recommended to my neighbours but don’t think they’ve taken up the service which is their loss.

I would highly recommend this company. Totally Welsh is totally reliable...and Welsh!
I have my weekly organic milk delivered and it feels good to be supporting Welsh farmers.
From time to time I order other items such as butter and I am always pleased with my order.
Well done Totally Welsh. Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!

Like Christmas every Tuesday

We love totally welsh, we get a small weekly delivery as its just the two of us, we wanted to start the glass bottle service after watching a programme on how much plastic goes into landfil each year even after you put it in the recycle bin and this was the easiest way to start our reduction of plastics.

All of the milk & juices are great, every Tuesday feels like Christmas morning running down to see if "he's been" the convenience of it all is great also as you can change your delivery dates pick different items you may have forgot on your shop and up your order or decrease all online.

Just as importantly are the ladies I've spoken to when phoning up with any inquires or questions I have, every single one of them have been amazingly helpful.
If your thinking of getting fresh milk delivered to you I would definitely recommend this company when you register for an account you do have to wait around a week for it to be set up but you won't be disappointed once it is.

Hello Kerry-Anne

Thank you for the kind words and complements. We are so happy hear that the service from the Milkman and the Customer care staff have been amazing.

We currently have a current wait time of up to 5 Days from registration to activation, but are trying everything in our power to bring this time down.

Once again - Thank you for your complements and we look forward to continuing to serve you :)

Still waiting for a reply from them….

Unfortunately my experience with them has been very poor. Website is great and looks easy to use but my sign up has been stuck in “awaiting administrator approval” for over 2 weeks now. I even called and they were unsure if they supplied my area but I have discovered they are supplying others. I emailed saying I was having trouble with the activation and am still waiting for them to assign a milkman to my round. (Considering they are active in this area)
They relied to an email I sent asking for my address and have now shut off all communication with me and I’ve heard nothing. So long in fact that I have found a milkman who does supply and has been delivering this week Despite them not even getting back to me about their service. So glad I decided not to give them my bank details when signing up or I would have been very concerned by now. Great expectations with the website but very sadly let down by the customer support so I’ve never properly been able to use them.

Goes off before use by date

Been having problems with this milk for over 2 years on 6 or 7 occasions (and from different retailers before you blame them), goes off on or before the use by date. had to throw a tub of double cream today 2 days before use by date. Try not to buy Totally Welsh, but sometimes that is all that is left. It's not our fridge, other milk lasts days past use by date.

Poor quality turned semi skimmed milk.

Poor quality turned semi skimmed milk.. Was still in date by a good few days, took it back to the shop that I purchased it from and they said to inform totally Welsh. When I did they said put it in an email and I was ignored.. Obviously they will have an answer relating to the pandemic.. Will not purchase a single item from them again

Hello Jamie.

Obviously we have spoken outside of trust pilot - so would like to add what has been discussed.

We checked the test samples and temperature logs from batch number supplied from the images you sent and all test came back as clear and core temperatures in the correct window. Unfortunately, once the milk bottle has left the factory and depots it is very hard to identify were the issue lies, especially with a perishable item like milk.

We are sorry that your milk turned before the use by date, but if there is anything we can do for you please let us know.

Basic service good but a lot is wanting

I'm happy with the milk delivery itself and really enjoy getting the glass bottles of milk with thick layer of cream on top. However, I cannot leave a 4 or 5 star review because of major niggles.

I first signed up on the basis of the promise being made on the web site at that time that I could order additional items with 24 hours notice. Then the web site information was changed to say 48 hours notice was needed for bread. However, I'm finding I cannot order most things even with 48 hours notice. Today (Sunday) I tried to order some yoghurt and the first available date is Friday! Frankly, I'm not interested in ordering goods 6 days in advance; I'll just use alternative same or next day's facilities from supermarkets instead. I must admit, I am wondering whether to continue with the milk subscription when it is pretty well impossible to order anything else with reasonable notice.

My second niggle is that the bread from Hafod Bakery is among the worst quality bread I have ever had the misfortune to experience. The sourdough bread has a nasty chewy crust which makes it inedible cut straight from the loaf. Furthermore, on many occasions I was unable to cut a proper slice for toasting even on the day I received it, because the loaf just disintegrated. I ended up having to have croutons and/or eggy bread fragments for days on end because the high price of the loaf meant I could not throw it away. The Swansea bloomer is not much better. Also, on several occasions when I ordered to wholemeal sourdough, which is fractionally better than the white version, the white sourdough loaf was delivered.

Totally Welsh has a good concept for those of us who wish to support Welsh producers, but really needs to get its act together concerning the web site and to find a decent bakery.

Hello KW.
First of all, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Totally Welsh - all feedback is greatly appreciated.

We do everything we can to get orders to our customers within a 24 hour period, however due to the current pandemic, we are finding that our suppliers are being left short staffed or have issues with their own supply chain. We hope that over the next few months with restrictions easing, that this can be go back to normal.

I have forwarded your concerns onto Hafod Bakery regarding the quality of the bread, we do deliver a lot of the their products, which is very well received across our depots.

If you would like to get in contact with us direct regarding the above issues then you can email us on mail@totallywelsh.co.uk or call us on 01437 760166
