Private Catering Near Hendon: Indian Food for Your Event
Chit Chaat caters private events in Hendon from our kitchen in Barnet, about 7 miles away or roughly 20 minutes by car via the A1. We bring home-style North Indian food to Hendon homes, offices and event spaces.
Chef-founder Shikha Chadha, originally from Amritsar, launched Chit Chaat in 2018 as a catering business, cooking for gatherings across London long before the restaurant opened its doors in Barnet. Her recipes have been passed down through her family and are cooked with less oil and gentle spice. Our kitchen is nut- and seed-free, the meat is halal, and vegan and gluten-free choices are easy to include.

Private Catering Near Hendon: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for private catering near Hendon? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
What Hendon hosts can expect from our catering
Hendon is a busy, mixed area, home to Middlesex University, the RAF Museum and plenty of families and businesses around Hendon Central. That variety shows up in the events people plan: department celebrations, socials, family birthdays, festival gatherings and lunches for teams. Because the trip to our High Street restaurant takes about 20 minutes by car, catering is often the more practical way to share our food with a larger group in Hendon.
When food has a 20-minute journey, we plan the menu so everything still tastes right on arrival. Dishes that work well include chicken biryani and vegetable biryani, lamb rogan josh, chicken tikka masala, dal makhani and palak paneer kofta, with tandoor items like tandoori chicken and achari paneer tikka. For a lighter, more casual crowd, chicken and paneer kathi rolls, vada pav and pav bhaji bring a street-food feel that is easy to eat on the move. Garlic naan, lachha paratha and cheese kulcha round out the bread basket, and a tray of gulab jamun is a simple sweet finish.
To plan your Hendon event, send the venue address, date, rough numbers and any dietary requirements through the enquiry form. Prefer to talk? Call 07414 109555 or email bookings@chitchaat.co and we will take it from there, agreeing timings and dishes with you. Mention any allergies or halal, vegan or gluten-free needs up front so the menu works for everyone.
