Millwater is fortunate in having a Jesters pie outlet in Silverdale, where Steven and Fiona Davey are owner-operators of this great local franchise. Fiona is also a full-time flight attendant with Air New Zealand and supports the business during her breaks. They have a 5 year-old son, Max.

Steven is a North Shore local and has a solid track-record in the food trade; gaining a Management Diploma from McDonalds after opening their flagship store in Belmont and another as grocery manager with PAK’nSAVE in Taupo. Additional management experience was gained during his OE, when he opened a flagship Sports Soccer store in Fulham, London; and as project manager with the Wandsworth Council. Returning to NZ in 2003, Steven worked as project manager with The Warehouse and later with Auckland Council, before bringing to fruition his deep desire to start his own business.

With his wide experience in the food and catering industry, Steven decided on Jesters because of their robust business growth model and quality products. Recently opening in Silverdale, Steven and Fiona are building a strong business and can see that expansion of the Millwater/Silverdale area will favour their plans for a secure future. Steven is also a Volunteer Ambulance Officer and Emergency Medical Technician with St John and the Jesters business strongly supports local school and other appropriate charity events. Both he and Fiona love the Millwater community and the friendliness of everyone they meet here.

Special offers at Jesters include a pie and coffee for just $5 before 10:30 every day; and a great pensioner deal of free coffee with a pie, all day on Monday to Wednesday inclusive. One regular customer was asked “why Jesters?” and she said, “Simply; for great pies, coffee and service – all with a chocolate fish!”
