Provides the food and drink for a social event (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caters

(Other definitions for caters that I've seen before include "Provides for in crates" , "Does fare" , "Supplies food for parties" , "Provides services for, supplies" , "'Supplies food, ready to eat (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
