Private Catering Near Me in Hendon: a taste of Chit Chaat
Searching for private catering near me in Hendon? Here is a look at the food and the room waiting for you at 135 High Street, Barnet.
Planning a Hendon celebration at Chit Chaat
Hendon is a fair distance from Barnet, so it helps to plan the journey. Hendon Central is on the Northern line's Edgware branch, which does not reach High Barnet, so most groups drive up the A1 in about 20 minutes, or share minicabs so nobody has to drive home. Once you arrive, there are two car parks around the restaurant on the High Street.
Occasions worth the trip are often the bigger ones: a graduation dinner for a Middlesex University student and their family, a significant birthday, a work team's end-of-project celebration, or an anniversary for parents who deserve a proper night out. For those, a menu that builds steadily works well. Masala fries, mixed pakoras and dahi puri as nibbles, then tandoori chicken wings, lamb chops and soya champ tikka, and finally butter chicken, fish curry, paneer makhani and chicken biryani with chilli garlic naan. Leave room for rose milk cake or gajar ka halwa. The kitchen is halal and free from nuts and seeds, with plenty for vegan and gluten-free guests.
If the drive does not suit everyone, there is an alternative. Chit Chaat caters home parties and celebrations, so a Hendon gathering could be fed at your own house instead. Either way, the enquiry form is the place to start: tell us the date, the occasion and anything we should know about your guests, and the team will help you choose.

Questions from Hendon
How do I get from Hendon to Chit Chaat?
Chit Chaat is about 7 miles from Hendon. By car it takes roughly 20 minutes via the A1, and there are two car parks around the restaurant. Hendon Central is on the Northern line's Edgware branch rather than the High Barnet branch, so public transport involves a change, which is why driving or a taxi is usually simpler.
Could we hold a graduation dinner in Barnet for a Hendon student?
A graduation is a lovely reason to book. Chit Chaat offers private hire of the restaurant and group bookings for celebrations like this, depending on the date. Send your preferred day, rough guest numbers and dietary needs through the enquiry form, and the team will help shape a menu for the family.
Are vegetarian guests well catered for?
Very much so, and many dishes are vegan too. Choose from chaats such as papdi chaat and avocado chaat, paneer and soya champ tikka from the tandoor, and large plates including dal makhani, tadka dal, baingan masala, palak paneer and vegetable biryani. There is a vegetarian sharing platter as well, so nobody is left with a token option.
Can I speak to someone before filling in the enquiry form?
Of course. You can call the restaurant on 07414 109555 during opening hours or email bookings@chitchaat.co with questions about private hire, group dining or catering. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays and opens from 12:00 on other days. When you are ready, the enquiry form at /private-catering/#enquire captures all the details in one place.
