Private Catering Near Me in Chipping Barnet at Chit Chaat
Chit Chaat stands in the middle of Chipping Barnet's old market town, at 135 High Street, and the restaurant can be hired privately for family milestones, anniversaries and work parties. Larger groups can also book tables, and for those who would rather celebrate at home, the kitchen offers catering too.
The food is rooted in Amritsar, where chef-founder Shikha Chadha grew up, and in the recipes her family passed down. She started out catering gatherings across London in 2018 before opening this flagship, so hosting a celebration is second nature to the team.

Private Catering Near Me in Chipping Barnet: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for private catering near me in Chipping Barnet? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
A market-town setting for your next gathering
Chipping Barnet grew up as a market town at the top of the hill, a place where people came together to trade and to celebrate. Hosting a party on its High Street still has that feel. Guests can meet by the parish church of St John the Baptist or take a stroll across Hadley Green before dinner, then walk along to the restaurant. Those coming from further afield can use High Barnet station, about ten minutes away on foot, or park in one of the two car parks around the building.
Inside, the menu suits a long, generous meal. Many hosts build a spread around home-style North Indian cooking: Amritsari fish pakora and Punjabi samosas to begin, then lamb curry, tadka dal, baingan masala and chicken biryani served with mint lachha paratha and tandoori roti. Shikha cooks lighter on oil and spice without losing flavour, so older relatives and younger guests can enjoy the same dishes. Gajar ka halwa or moong dal halwa makes a fitting traditional finish.
Think of a ruby wedding, a christening lunch, a retirement do for a colleague who has worked locally for years, or a reunion of school friends who grew up around The Spires. Tell us the occasion, the date and your guests' dietary needs, and the team will suggest whether private hire, a group table or catering at your own home fits best.

Your party takes place right on the High Street in historic Chipping Barnet, close to Hadley Green and the parish church, with car parks nearby for guests who drive.
Family recipes from Amritsar
