Indian Catering for Events That People Actually Remember
We have fed the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Lego, Merlin and Elton. We have catered weddings for 200 guests, Bollywood fundraisers in London, boardroom lunches in Guildford, and garden parties where the food was the evening. We have cooked at Gate Street Barn, Fetcham Park, Farnham Castle and the Guildford Pavilion. We work regularly with Guildford Jazz, the University of Surrey and Surrey Research Park.
Mandira's Kitchen is not a catering company with a menu list. Every event we do has a name, a story and a reason. The Great Indian Railway Journey. A Tale of Three Cities. Calcutta Street. The Indian Afternoon Tea. Outside India. These are not menu options from a folder. They are experiences built around the food, the memory and the people in the room.
We travel across Surrey and London. We come to you, or you come to us at the barn at Silent Pool. From an intimate supper for eight to a celebration for two hundred, every booking is handled personally.
Call us on 01483 940789. Or email enquiries@mandiraskitchen.com. We aim to respond within 24 hours.

“Like having your very own Indian Auntie fill
your freezer with exquisite foods.” - Nigella Lawson
Birthday lunches, anniversary dinners, garden parties, christenings, Bollywood evenings, farewell feasts. We cater at our barn at Silent Pool or we come to you, anywhere across Surrey and London.
Every event we do has its own menu, its own story, its own reason. We do not send the same folder to everyone. Tell us what the occasion is and we will tell you what we think would make it memorable.
We handle the whole event if you want us to. Food, full bar service, decoration and florals through our local florist partners, Bollywood dancers and entertainment, reception canapes and cocktails. Or just the food. Tell us what you need.
From 10 to 200 guests.
Boardroom lunches, team away days, client entertaining, product launches, press events. We cater at your venue or ours.
Our corporate menus are not standard catering with an Indian label. The Tale of Three Cities takes guests through Calcutta, Bombay and Delhi in one meal. The Great Indian Railway Journey is a tasting menu built around the food served on India's long-distance trains.
Spice Masterclasses and Cookery Sessions run as private half-days for groups of 8 to 30. Teams cook together, eat together, and leave having actually talked to each other.
We work regularly with Surrey Research Park, the University of Surrey and Guildford Jazz. We have fed Lego, Merlin and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The barn at Silent Pool is available to hire. 42 inside, up to 150 outside (open air) or 50 under cover. All hire includes catering and full service from Mandira's Kitchen.

Our Signature Experiences
These are not menu options from a folder. Every experience has a name, a story and a reason.
Calcutta, Bombay, Delhi. Three cities, three entirely different styles of cooking. A menu that takes guests through India in one sitting.
First class food from India's long-distance trains. One of the great untold stories of Indian cooking.
The pavement food of Calcutta. jhal muri, telebhaja, mutton chops, chai. Informal, social, genuinely unlike anything else.
An Indian barbecue. Chargrilled meats, wild herb chutneys, smoked dal, fire and flair.
The British afternoon tea ran away to Assam. Tandoori chicken sliders, saffron scones, masala cakes, mango lassi and proper chai.
Food, performance, spectacle. A full Indian feast with Bollywood dancers, music, a full bar and a room that nobody wants to leave.
A sensory, hands-on journey through India's spice larder. Private sessions for groups of 8 to 30.
Teams cook an Indian menu together, then eat what they made. Collaborative, joyful and completely different from a meeting room.
