Our Executive Chef

Mark Gillespie is a seasoned New Zealand chef shaped by some of the country's most recognised kitchens. From early roles at Moka, where the team earned multiple Metro Magazine accolades, to opening The Grill by Sean Connolly during the 2011 Rugby World Cup and over a decade at Botswana Butchery, his career spans fine dining, large-scale events, and everything in between.

Now at Urban Gourmet, Mark brings that depth of experience into the catering and events space. His focus is on produce-led menus that hero bold flavours and quality ingredients, delivered with the precision and care of a leading restaurant kitchen.
