Hello! Thank you for popping by!

Having a young family ourselves, it is very important to us that we spend time with our children, family and friends on this special day, and we want our hard working Team to be able to do the same, that is why we do not open on Christmas Day at all, but we can still cook for you! We like to make memories on Christmas Day not dinner!

We did our first Christmas Eve collection for Christmas Day in 2020, out of necessity for the business and to still try and spread a bit of Christmas cheer and normality to our customers in the difficult time during Lockdown. Some could cook but didnt want to and some couldn’t cook at all-so we decided to come up with a plan to help! This is when our Christmas Day boxes were born!

Since then we have been doing this for our family every Christmas ever since and its brilliant to be able to do what we want when we want, no timing this, that and the other, just time to chill.

It was only last year we realised how many of our customers wanted this service so we stepped in once again! It was a HUGE success and our customers asked to be put on our Christmas List for this year if we were doing it again-literally by Boxing Day!

The good news is that we are! Christmas Day Boxes are here to stay!

We all wished we had more time on the most magical day of the year, more time seeing our kids and grandkids unwrap their prezzies, more time to see family and friends instead of stressing over how long the turkey will take, juggling ten thousand pots and pans, not to mention courses, -THE COURSES…how many of us have forgot about dessert or that cauli cheese thats still in the oven lol! ?

Wouldn’t it be nice to sit down with that glass of bubbly or cuppa char without hours of missing out on whats important by going backwards and forwards into the kitchen! How many hours have you spent peeling, chopping, stuffing and washing up said ten thousand pots and pans? Too many!

This year make it your year, your year to have someone else cook for you! Your year to relax and enjoy the whole of your Christmas Day, your year, your time! If you're reading this and think “oh so and so will be cooking Christmas dinner again like they always do”….why not let them have the day off and someone cook for them for a change! You've got plenty of time to save up and plan so whats not to love, you would make their Christmas-I’m sure they would love you forever ;)

All the menu is cooked by us so not need to cook anything! All reheating instructions will be included in your box, everything you need to enjoy a beautiful Christmas Day dinner is in your box!

We advise you to check your box as soon as you get home after collecting on Christmas Eve to ensure all items are present.

We will have a check list of what items we put in the box, but human errors can occur. Please notify us immediately if you are missing any items so we can prepare replacement items for you to collect from the Mill on Christmas Eve-we are not open on Christmas Day. Depending on how many orders you place, boxes may be heavy so you may need some assistance collecting them.
