If you’re planning a Manchester party and want food that’s generous, vibrant, and full of colour, Middle Eastern catering fits the brief. It works brilliantly for weddings and engagements, agency nights, tech meetups, graduation dinners, and charity galas. The cuisine is designed for sharing, which means big flavours, lots of small plates, and a relaxed, sociable flow that suits the city’s love of good company. In this guide we’ll walk through menu styles, venues, service formats, pricing, and the practical bits that keep everything smooth on the day. We’ll also show how we make booking simple through Poptop so you can plan confidently.
Manchester loves a party with personality. Middle Eastern food gives you that from the first mezze platter to the last mint tea. Guests can dip in and out of small plates, grab something from a live station, or settle into a seated meal built around slow-cooked meats and aromatic vegetables. It’s naturally flexible for dietary needs too. You can offer halal mains, plenty of plant-based dishes, and gluten-free options without losing authenticity.
The cuisine also travels well across the city’s mix of venues. Big trays of saffron rice and roasted vegetables can handle a lift up to a mill loft, while shawarma cones and saj bread griddles look right at home in a brewery taproom. Northern Quarter studios love a pop of colour, and the food styling here is a dream for photos.
Use a clear theme to anchor your menu and styling. A theme helps guests know what to expect and makes choices faster during planning.
Middle Eastern menus are easy to customise. Think in layers, then tailor to your event type and venue.

Sides and extras
Sweet finish
Weddings and engagements Family-style mezze to start, then a tagine duo or shawarma platter with rice and salads A late-night falafel or halloumi wrap station keeps dancers fuelled after the first dance
Agency parties and creative teams Syrian street-food lane with hand-held wraps, small boxes, and a hummus and chips station Add a non-alcoholic spritz bar with pomegranate and mint, plus easy eco-friendly serveware
Tech meetups Eat-whenever-you-arrive mezze grazing with labels for allergens and dietary tags A saj bread live station builds buzz without drowning out speakers
Graduation dinners Set two or three course menus with a mezze starter board, a choice of tagine or grilled skewers, then a plate of small sweets Keep service tight on time so speeches land neatly
Charity galas Moroccan tagine bar with premium cuts, charming ceramics, and a dessert table that doubles as decor Consider masgouf fish as a headline item if your venue allows open-flame or controlled smoke
Mills and lofts Big freight lifts and open floors suit buffet islands and long mezze runs Check power points for live griddles and confirm fire regs for any charcoal or open-flame cooking
Breweries and taprooms Space for street-food lanes and a compact prep area behind the scenes High tables and barrels make casual eating easy, just plan plenty of napkins and trays
City centre hotels Great for plated service or family-style sharing with staffed stations Hotels usually have clear loading bays and lifts, which keeps your supplier’s timeline predictable
Northern Quarter studios Perfect for the Northern Quarter mezze and music theme Lean into colour, textiles, and low-impact live cooking like saj bread or a finishing grill
Marquees and outdoor builds Ask about ground cover for kitchen tents, lighting, and a hand-wash point Generators and refrigerated storage may be needed, especially for dairy and fish items
Buffet and family-style Best for larger guest counts that need speed without losing generosity Keeps the room sociable and suits most budget tiers
Live stations Shawarma carving, falafel frying, saj bread, manakish, or the masgouf fish feature Adds a premium feel and a focal point for photos and video
Bento boxes and bowl food Useful for standing receptions and tech meetups Helps with portion control and reduces queue time
Plated multi-course Ideal for weddings or charity dinners when you want structure and formality Builds in natural beats for speeches and entertainment
Use these local guide ranges as a starting point, then refine with your supplier once you set guest count, service format, and venue conditions.
