The person a commercial kitchen calls when they need the boring stuff sorted — costs reviewed, paperwork in order, risks understood.
Millstone Compliance manages the cost and compliance of everything that flows in and out of independent commercial kitchens across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
A commercial kitchen has fryers burning energy, water going in, grease and oil coming out, waste going in bins, and compliance requirements on top. The owner is running service — not managing suppliers. Nobody has ever reviewed any of it.
That's what we are. Five overheads. One premises. One owner. One conversation.

Until now. Here's what we look at — and what we typically find.
Clean fryer oil is a commodity. Licensed collectors pay for it. Most kitchens are either paying to have it removed or handing it to someone informal for nothing.
Discharging fats to sewer is a criminal offence under Section 111 of the Water Industry Act 1991. Fines run to £50,000. Severn Trent are actively inspecting.
Nationals add 12–22% fuel surcharges local carriers don't. Weight allowances as low as 65kg. Auto-renewals nobody reads.
Commercial contracts that renew at higher rates every year and never get reviewed. Fryers and extraction are enormous consumers.
Mandatory October 2026. Electronic records replace paper. Most independent kitchens have no system in place and no plan to get one.
