McQueens Dairies, which has a distribution depot in Forest Town, is celebrating a major achievement after three of its milk products were recognised at the prestigious Great Taste Awards 2026.
The award-winning products are:
- Organic Whole Milk in Glass Bottle – 1 star
- Semi-Skimmed Milk in Glass Bottle – 1 star

Organised by the Guild of Fine Food, the Great Taste Awards are among the world’s most respected food and drink accreditation schemes.
Products are carefully evaluated through blind tasting by industry experts, who recognise the very best in quality and flavour.
The awards celebrate the taste and quality of McQueens Dairies’ milk, highlighting the care and dedication that goes into every stage of production, from the farms that supply the milk through to the teams who deliver it fresh to customers’ doorsteps.
Calum McQueen, director at McQueens Dairies, said: “We’re incredibly proud to have received three Great Taste Awards for our milk.
"Quality has always been at the heart of what we do, and these awards are recognition of the dedication and care shown by our farmers, dairy teams and milkmen every day.
“We’d like to thank our customers for their continued support and for choosing McQueens Dairies.”
Founded by Mick and Meg McQueen in 1995, McQueens Dairies began as a traditional family-run milk delivery business.
Nearly three decades later, the company remains proudly family-owned, with the next generation continuing to play an active role in its success.
All five of Mick and Meg’s children, Ruairidh, Adam, Calum, Jamie and Anna, are directors of the business and each plays an important role in shaping the future of McQueens Dairies while staying true to the family values on which the company was built.
Since its foundation, McQueens Dairies has grown into one of the UK’s leading doorstep milk delivery services, while maintaining its commitment to quality products and support for British dairy farming.
Today, the company delivers fresh milk and household essentials to customers across the UK, combining the tradition of doorstep delivery with a commitment to sustainability through their refillable glass bottles.
Winning three Great Taste Awards is a proud achievement for McQueens Dairies and recognition of the high standards that have been at the heart of the business since it was founded.
The awards celebrate the commitment and expertise of everyone involved, including farmers, dairy teams, milkmen and the wider McQueens Dairies family, who all play a role in delivering fresh, great-tasting milk to customers every day.
