Hey so I stumbled upon this and got it working, here is how:

inside my component.html

Inside my component.ts

public array: any;
public displayedColumns = ['', '', '', '', ''];
public dataSource: any;    

public pageSize = 10;
public currentPage = 0;
public totalSize = 0;

@ViewChild(MatPaginator) paginator: MatPaginator;

constructor(private app: AppService) { }

ngOnInit() {
  this.getArray();
}

public handlePage(e: any) {
  this.currentPage = e.pageIndex;
  this.pageSize = e.pageSize;
  this.iterator();
}

private getArray() {
  this.app.getDeliveries()
    .subscribe((response) => {
      this.dataSource = new MatTableDataSource(response);
      this.dataSource.paginator = this.paginator;
      this.array = response;
      this.totalSize = this.array.length;
      this.iterator();
    });
}

private iterator() {
  const end = (this.currentPage + 1) * this.pageSize;
  const start = this.currentPage * this.pageSize;
  const part = this.array.slice(start, end);
  this.dataSource = part;
}

All the paging work is done from within the iterator method. This method works out the skip and take and assigns that to the dataSource for the Material table.
