Depends how many pigs you have and how quickly you use it as to whether it will work out cheaper.
Thompsons of York deliver into your area both bagged and loose so give them a call 01904488388
I buy bagged (25kg) tonne at a time works out at £7.50/bag delivered.

I buy a tonne of food at a time, bagged, from Heygates, who are in Northampton. I can't remember exact price but sure it is  just under£7 a bag. They may deliver to you, free delivery if you order over a tonne.
