GOLDEN TICKET

Angel Bay’s Golden Ticket Winner Brings Innovation and Flavour to Oamaru

At the Pukeuri Canteen in Oamaru, New Zealand, great food meets strong community values. Judy Waugh, manager of the canteen, and her lifelong best friend and teammate, Catherine Boyle, have been serving up quality meals for years. Recently, Judy had the thrill of winning Angel Bay’s coveted Golden Ticket competition—a milestone worth celebrating!

With Angel Bay products playing a central role in their success, Judy and Catherine’s story is an inspiring look at how passion, convenience, and quality can transform a food service business.

Meet Judy Waugh and Catherine Boyle

Judy Waugh and Catherine Boyle are the heart and soul of the Pukeuri Canteen, bringing their lifelong friendship and shared dedication to creating delicious, comforting meals. Judy, the manager of the canteen, and partners with Catherine, who brings two years of experience at the canteen and a further six years working at the Oamaru Club.

Their bond, which began when they were just six years old, forms the foundation of their collaborative approach. Together, they’ve cultivated a canteen that’s as much about community and connection as it is about great food.

Why Angel Bay Stands Out

Catherine’s introduction to Angel Bay came through her local supermarket. “I liked the patties and bought them first for the convenience,” she says. The quality and flavour immediately stood out, and Angel Bay products quickly became a favourite for staff and customers alike.

Angel Bay and Pukeuri Canteen: A Perfect Match

The values of Angel Bay—convenience, quality, and versatility—align seamlessly with Judy and Catherine’s approach to running the canteen. For over five years, Angel Bay’s 120g patties and meatballs have been staples in their menu, helping the business thrive.

“Thursday is Burger Day,” Catherine explains, “and it’s everyone’s favourite day of the week.” Featuring Angel Bay patties paired with tomato relish, lettuce, cheese, onion, and beetroot, the burgers are a customer favourite. Meatballs, another top choice, make regular appearances on pizzas and as standalone dishes, keeping the menu fresh and exciting.

Winning the Angel Bay Golden Ticket

When Catherine learned she had won the Golden Ticket, the emotions were palpable. “Happy as, very surprised!” she recalls. Catherine quickly shared the news with Judy, and after Googling the competition details, the excitement truly set in.

“It was photo time with the Golden Ticket,” Catherine laughs, still thrilled by the win.

Plans for the Prize

Judy and Catherine are thrilled about their Golden Ticket win and are already brainstorming ways to use the prize to elevate the Pukeuri Canteen experience. Whether it’s introducing new menu items, upgrading equipment, or adding special touches to enhance customer satisfaction, they’re committed to investing the prize in ways that will benefit their loyal customers and staff. This milestone represents an exciting opportunity to build on their success and bring even more value to their canteen community.

Why Angel Bay Products Elevate Food Service

For food service professionals, Catherine says Angel Bay’s products are more than just convenient—they’re versatile, reliable, and packed with flavour. Whether it’s patties, meatballs, or other SKUs, these products make it easy to craft memorable meals that customers love.

Her final message? A heartfelt: “Thank you, Angel Bay!”

Conclusion

Judy Waugh and Catherine Boyle’s partnership with Angel Bay is a shining example of how quality products and shared values can drive business success. Winning the Golden Ticket is just the beginning for the Pukeuri Canteen team, as they continue to innovate and delight their customers with Angel Bay at the heart of their menu.

Congratulations, Judy and Catherine! Here’s to more Burger Days, meatball pizzas, and success with Angel Bay by your side.
