More about East Aurora
Local context, real specifics.
East Aurora (population around 6,000 village-wide, larger including the surrounding town) has an outsized reputation in Western New York — a Main Street that feels like a preserved 1900s commercial block, the Roycroft Campus and its National Historic Landmark status, Knox Farm State Park, the East Aurora Toy Company, Fisher-Price's corporate roots, and a per-capita professional income that routinely tops the regional ranking. That translates into a specific catering profile. East Aurora weddings skew toward higher per-person spending — plated service, premium bar packages, attention to detail around décor and timing. Corporate demand comes from the Olean Road–Main Street professional corridor (law firms, architects, consulting practices) and from Fisher-Price adjacent professional offices. Private family events are typically milestone anniversaries, engagement parties, and retirement dinners hosted at the Roycroft Inn, Knox Farm, or family homes in the village. The Aurora Theatre draws evening dining traffic year-round; Mansard has catered theatre-adjacent receptions and private showings. The East Aurora School District's May–June graduation season rounds out the calendar.

Catering in East Aurora, answered.
Do you cater events at the Roycroft Inn in East Aurora?
Yes. The Roycroft Inn and the surrounding Roycroft Campus have limited kitchen availability for large events, which is why couples often bring in outside catering. The Mansard has catered at and around the Roycroft complex — we coordinate with their staff on timing and service style.
How long does delivery to East Aurora take?
About 16 to 18 minutes from The Mansard's kitchen at 3365 Abbott Rd in Orchard Park. We deliver to the Village of East Aurora, Knox Farm area, and the business parks along Olean Road every week. Delivery is free within 15 miles — East Aurora is right at that threshold.
Can you cater a small private dinner in East Aurora?
Yes. For parties of 10 to 25 guests, a drop-off dinner from The Mansard — filet, chicken almondine, pasta, seasonal vegetables, sides, dessert — runs $28 to $45 per person depending on the menu. We set it up at your East Aurora home or venue and you serve yourselves.
Do you work with East Aurora wedding planners?
Yes. Several East Aurora wedding planners and event coordinators use The Mansard as their preferred outside caterer. Tell us who's planning your day and we coordinate timeline, menu, bar transition, and load-in directly with them. If you don't have a planner, our event captain handles coordination for full-service weddings at no additional charge.
Can you cater at Knox Farm State Park events?
Yes. Knox Farm hosts outdoor summer weddings and private celebrations across its event spaces. The Mansard delivers full-service catering under a tent or inside one of the farm buildings, coordinates with Knox Farm staff on load-in and power access, and handles everything from setup through cleanup. Wedding catering at Knox Farm starts at $45 per person for buffet.
Do you cater East Aurora business lunches?
Yes. Corporate catering along Main Street and Olean Road is a steady weekday business — law firms, architecture studios, and Fisher-Price-adjacent professional offices regularly order drop-off lunches. Corporate Boxed Lunch ($14.95 per person) and Executive Buffet ($22.95) are the most-ordered options. 10-person minimum.
Can you do a Roycroft-themed menu for a wedding?
Yes. For couples leaning into the Roycroft Campus aesthetic — Arts and Crafts era, Stickley-adjacent, locally-sourced ingredients — we can build a menu that pairs with the period and venue. Plated service with seasonal produce, artisan bread, and period-appropriate cocktails works especially well at Roycroft Inn-hosted receptions.
