Private Catering Near Me in Arkley: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for private catering near me in Arkley? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
From Arkley's lanes to a party on Barnet High Street
Arkley has a quieter, almost rural feel, with green-belt fields and the old Arkley Windmill on the western edge of Barnet. That is part of its charm, but it also means fewer places close by that can host a proper sit-down celebration. Chit Chaat solves that without a long journey: head along Barnet Road and you reach the High Street in a few minutes. There are two car parks around the restaurant, which makes life easier for guests arriving in several cars, and a taxi home afterwards is a short ride.
A relaxed way to run an Arkley group dinner is to let the kitchen pace it. Start with the popadum basket, mixed pakoras and crispy corn, add a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian sharing platter from the tandoor, then bring out butter chicken, paneer makhani, lamb keema with pav and a vegetable biryani for the middle of the table. Everything is cooked in a nut- and seed-free kitchen with halal meat, and children can order from the kids menu.
If your Arkley home has room to entertain, it is worth knowing you have two options. Book the restaurant for an evening when you would rather someone else handles the room, or ask about catering for a garden party or a family celebration in your own house. Either way, start with the enquiry form and the team will take it from there.
