What affects the price in Mill Green
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
