Caterers say there has been a significant increase in home gatherings and late evening home parties, following a government ban on offering liquor along with food in three star and two restaurants.

"People these days organize small party with family members or colleagues. Here alcohol goes freely along with food. We get many such party catering orders, inch said Abhishek Nair, overseer of chateau & Make Caterers. He said people surviving in Kochi have no choice but to plan these gatherings at their homes which has recently been going on for a year.

"Also, a relatively small gatherings of say 15-20 people prefer to order food from caterers, band rather than restaurants. Also, after their day jobs people don't have time or energy to serve large crowds anymore, " said Sajeevan CB, secretary of All Kerala Caterers Connection (AKAA).

He said there were a significant difference between the food that caterers, band make and food made in restaurants. "Caterers take special care to provide quality food, " Sajeevan said.
