Big meal without starter for one of four at table (4)
I believe the answer is:
east
'one of four at table' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'big meal without starter' is the wordplay.
'big meal' becomes 'feast' (a feast is a large meal).
'without starter' means to remove the first letter.
'feast' with its initial letter taken away is 'EAST'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for east that I've seen before include "Direction taken when going from the US towards Ireland" , "Compass point at 90 degrees" , "course" , "To right if facing North" , "Tom's friend" .)
