Service tax applicability

Pls clear my doubt,

 A partnership firm has closed its restaurant business and is providing oly outdoor catering and the restaurant has no A/c facility.Is the above service a taxable service or will it get exemption under notification 25/2012 ST dated 20.6.2012.

Only outdoor catering is taxable service. If restaurant is not charging service charge from customers there is no need to pay ST for restaurant business
Catering business will be taxable as per the rate mentioned in the notification
