Private Catering Near Me in Friern Barnet: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for private catering near me in Friern Barnet? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
Is the trip from Friern Barnet worth it for a party?
Being honest, Friern Barnet is not on our doorstep. The drive up from Friern Barnet Road to Barnet takes around 15 minutes, a little longer at busy times, and there are two car parks around the restaurant once you arrive. For a group that wants a proper celebration rather than a quick meal, that short journey buys you a room full of home-style Punjabi cooking and a team used to looking after parties.
Because guests are travelling, it makes sense to plan the meal so it feels like an occasion. Start with Amritsari fish pakora, meat samosas and aloo tikki chaat, then a sharing platter or two from the tandoor. For the main course, butter chicken, lamb curry, palak paneer and tadka dal with naan and missi roti give the table plenty of variety. Kulfi falooda and sticky toffee cake bring things to a close. Halal meat, many vegan and gluten-free dishes and a completely nut- and seed-free kitchen mean you can invite colleagues or relatives without fretting about dietary needs.
If gathering everyone in Barnet is tricky, perhaps with older relatives who do not travel easily or a group spread around New Southgate and Arnos Grove, catering is the other route. Shikha's team can bring the food to your home instead. Explain your plans on the enquiry form and the team will suggest the option that fits.
Worth a 15-minute drive
Friern Barnet guests can reach the restaurant in roughly 15 minutes by car, with two car parks close by, for a celebration built around generous home-style North Indian cooking.
A menu that feels special
Amritsari fish pakora, tandoor platters, lamb curry and kulfi falooda turn a Friern Barnet birthday or work dinner into a proper occasion, served to share across the table.
Catering when travel is hard
If getting everyone up to Barnet is difficult, Chit Chaat can cater your celebration at home instead, drawing on Shikha's experience catering London parties since 2018.
