Private Catering Near Friern Barnet
Private Catering Near Friern Barnet from Our Barnet Kitchen
Chit Chaat offers private catering for Friern Barnet from our kitchen on Barnet High Street, roughly a 15-minute drive away. We bring North Indian food to your home, function room or office for celebrations big and small.
Our story starts with catering. In 2018 Shikha Chadha began cooking for private parties around London, using recipes from her family in Amritsar, and the Barnet restaurant grew out of that. She cooks the way she was taught at home, with a mother's care, less oil and balanced spice. Everything is made in a kitchen free from nuts and seeds, with halal meat throughout.

Private Catering Near Friern Barnet: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for private catering near Friern Barnet? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
Bringing home-style Indian catering to Friern Barnet
Friern Barnet sits around Friern Barnet Road, about 4 miles south-east of us and close to New Southgate and Arnos Grove. It is a short drive rather than a stroll, so for a party at home, catering is usually far easier than asking guests to travel up to the High Street. We handle the cooking, and you get to enjoy your own event instead of spending it in the kitchen.
The occasions we cater suit Friern Barnet well: a family anniversary in the back garden, an Eid or Diwali gathering, a wedding celebration in a local hall, or lunch for a small business. Start with onion bhaji, Punjabi samosas and crispy kale chaat, move on to tandoori chicken and lamb seekh kebabs, then serve chicken biryani, butter chicken, palak paneer kofta and dal tadka with chilli garlic naan and lachha paratha. For a sweet finish, rose milk cake or moong dal halwa work nicely. We can make the whole menu vegetarian if you prefer, or keep a balance of meat and vegetable dishes.
Since you are a little further from Barnet, please add your venue address and preferred time to your enquiry so we can plan the journey properly. Fill in the form at /private-catering/#enquire or call 07414 109555, and we will talk through dishes, numbers and dietary needs with you.

Questions from Friern Barnet
Will you bring catering out to Friern Barnet?
Yes, catering can come to Friern Barnet even though it is about 4 miles from our Barnet kitchen. Share the venue address, date, rough numbers and serving time through the enquiry form, and we will confirm the details and arrangements with you.
Can you cater a wedding celebration in a Friern Barnet hall?
Weddings are one of the events we cater. For a hall reception we would suggest a fuller menu of starters, tandoor dishes, curries, biryani, breads and desserts, planned around your guest list and timings. Tell us about the venue and the style of celebration you have in mind when you enquire.
Can the whole catering menu be vegetarian?
Absolutely. Achari paneer tikka, tandoori malai broccoli, palak paneer kofta, kadhai paneer, dal makhani, methi matar malai and vegetable biryani give plenty of variety, with chaats and onion bhaji to start. If some guests are vegan or need gluten-free food, mention it and we will plan suitable dishes for them too.
What makes Chit Chaat's catering different from a standard caterer?
Catering is where Chit Chaat started, so it is built on Shikha's own family recipes from Amritsar rather than a generic menu. The cooking is home-style and lighter on oil and spice, and the kitchen is completely nut- and seed-free with a 5-star food hygiene rating. It is restaurant food with home roots.
