Meet the Chef: Mere

A talented chef with a special love of locally sourced, seasonal produce Mere trained at Massey University in Wellington where she earned her Diploma in Catering and Hospitality.

Working in the industry in both Wellington and her home town of New Plymouth, Mere has operated as a chef in local cafés, catering kitchens, and restaurants.

Her skills are not confined to the hospitality industry, as she has also studied towards business and photography qualifications – skills she uses in the day-to-day running of The Sugar Shack.

The Sugar Shack started on August 1st 2015 as a part-time endeavour. After a year Mere took the leap into working for herself full-time!

Now she and her team take pride in creating truly delicious food and exciting menus.

Where did the name “The Sugar Shack” come from?

The Sugar Shack name originated many years previous in my parents kitchen, where I would spend hours over the stove perfecting my Russian Fudge recipe – paying homage to my Grandad who used to do the same. As soon as I started cooking, I would announce “The Sugar Shack is open for business!”… much to the delight of the recipients!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team for the exceptional catering at the official opening of our new JRI office. It was a significant event for us, with several senior insurance professionals flying in from across the country, and your service truly elevated the occasion. Every single attendee commented on the outstanding quality and presentation of the food. There were ample options to suit everyone's preferences, and the portions were generous—no one could have left hungry! We wouldn’t hesitate to use your services again in the future. Thank you once again for helping make our event a success. By the way, the two different varieties of meatballs were a major hit!
