Pull up a stool, round up the crew or settle in for dinner— we're all about bloody good Kiwi hospitality. Life's full of reasons to celebrate — we're here for a

Here’s to the Dads, the father figures, the mentors, the mates — all the good men who quietly show up when it matters.

The ones with the advice, the stories, the lifts home, the helping hands + the uncanny ability to turn a five-minute job into a full afternoon.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at The Merchant.

There's been a bit of talk about "new owners" at Merchant & Mama Loco, so we wanted to clear things up… (chances are if you're a regular, you'll know us well )

We're Lance & Lara, and for the past 12 years we've had the privilege of running Merchant & Mama Loco. As of this week, we've officially become the sole independent owners of both venues.

Same spots, same faces, and all the same reasons you keep coming back.

Both venues will be open as normal through to the end of the weekend, then closing briefly while we sort a few things behind the scenes before reopening on Thursday 6 August from 3pm.

We're grateful for everyone who's been part of the journey to get us here, and we're incredibly excited for this next chapter.

See you on the other side 🥂
