Private Catering Near Me in Barnet: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for private catering near me in Barnet? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.




Hosting a Barnet celebration on the High Street
For Barnet residents, a party at Chit Chaat means nobody has to cook, clear up or worry about where the in-laws will park. The restaurant is on the same High Street as The Spires, a short walk from St John the Baptist church, so guests find it without directions, and there are two car parks around the building for anyone driving in. Friends coming by tube can take the Northern line to High Barnet and walk up in about ten minutes.
Groups usually start with a round of chaats for the table, such as pani puri, aloo tikki chole chaat and avocado chaat, then move on to the mix tandoori platter and large plates like butter chicken, dal makhani and palak paneer kofta with baskets of garlic naan. The kitchen is completely nut- and seed-free and the meat is halal, which takes a lot of the stress out of feeding mixed family groups, and there are vegan, gluten-free and kids options too. Finish with gulab jamun or kulfi falooda and a round of mango lassi.
A Sunday lunch for a grandparent's birthday, an engagement dinner after a walk on Hadley Green, a team leaving do on a Friday evening: tell us what you are marking and roughly how many are coming, and we will talk you through private hire or a group booking. If the party suits your own living room better, we can bring the food to you instead.

Questions from Barnet
Can I hire Chit Chaat in Barnet for a private party?
Yes. Chit Chaat offers private hire of the restaurant at 135 High Street, Barnet, for birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and work celebrations. Availability depends on the date, so send your details through the enquiry form, call 07414 109555 or email bookings@chitchaat.co, and the team will talk you through what is possible.
We are a group of friends rather than a full party. Can we just book a big table?
You can. Smaller groups can book a table online through OpenTable at /book-a-table/ or by phone. For larger groups, calling ahead helps the team plan seating and food. Sharing platters from the tandoor and a few plates of chaat work well for a table that wants to try a bit of everything.
Is the food safe for a Barnet party with nut allergies?
The whole Chit Chaat kitchen is nut- and seed-free, so nuts and seeds are kept out of the cooking entirely. That makes planning easier for Barnet families with allergies in the group. Let us know about any other allergies or dietary needs when you enquire and the team will guide you through the menu.
Which days can we hold a celebration?
The restaurant opens Monday and Friday from 12:00 to 15:00 and 17:30 to 22:30, Wednesday and Thursday from 12:00 to 22:30, Saturday from 12:00 to 23:00 and Sunday from 12:00 to 22:00. It is closed on Tuesdays. Lunchtime parties can include brunch plates, which are served until 3pm. Share your preferred date in the enquiry and the team will confirm availability.
