Chat ( Informal ) (6)

I think it could be either:

natter

confab

(Other definitions for natter that I've seen before include "Talk casually" , "Talk continually or annoyingly" , "Chat busily" , "Talk socially about nothing important" , "Chatter (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
