Christmas Day Boxes 2025 Menu & Information
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 back 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 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.
Our Christmas Day boxes have been a HUGE success since we launched them and our orders have grown year on year. Our customers even ask to be put on our Christmas Waiting List for the next year-some as early as Christmas Day when they have just devoured our gorgeous food!
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 all while watching everyone else enjoy their Christmas? Too many I imagine!
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! Or even treat the people its so hard to buy for at Christmas, I’m sure they would love a restaurant quality fully cooked Christmas dinner on Christmas Day-without even venturing out of the house!
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!

CHECKING YOUR BOX
We do advise you to check your box as soon as you get home after collecting on Christmas Eve to ensure all items are present. You are more than welcome to check the box when you collect, but we cannot be responsible for any missing items if you do not check your box once you have received it on Christmas Eve. 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.
ALLERGENS
All items have numbers at the side of them-these are the allergens contained in the menu item. You can find all information on allergen coding on our website. Please see our Allergen page on our website for numbered allergens. Our kitchen is NOT allergen free, although we take every care to ensure there is no cross contamination, we cannot guarantee it. Please enquire about allergens before placing your order. All items will be in your order; we will not remove items for personal preference.
REHEATING ITEMS ON THE DAY
All the menu is cooked by us so not need to cook anything! All reheating instructions will be included in your box.
All the items to reheat, will come in either foil or microwaveable containers to put in the oven or plastic containers to put in the microwave-foil containers cannot be put in the microwave. How you prefer to heat the items up is your choice, we just recommend what to do for best results. Some items, such as the roasters, may be cooked slightly under so you can finish them off in the oven to get best results. All meats products are fully cooked through and will just need reheating. All items are suitable for consumption on Christmas Day plus 1 day and must be kept refrigerated immediately after collection and at all times before use.

“We loved our Christmas dinner, could you add us to the list for next Christmas please?”
Stuart:
“I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you 7 amazing Christmas dinners we had the best food all nice and relaxed it’s the first time we have not been at our parents for Christmas and decided to take a risk inviting to ours, we shouldn’t have been worried as your boxes were out of this world!
So much so we want to place an order again for 2025! Thank you so much your team are amazing “
Emma:
“I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the beautiful Christmas lunch it was absolutely delicious and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also a massive godsend as my parents ended up with Covid and so we were able to take theirs up for them and they cooked it themselves so didn’t miss out on lunch.
We will certainly think about doing it again next year if you offer them again.”
Leona:
”I just wanted to message and say thank you for an amazing Christmas dinner. It was delicious and the beef was out of this world.
I have left a review, but wanted to message to thank you too”
