Good place to spend half an hour amid companions (6)
I believe the answer is:
church
'good place' is the definition.
'church' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'Place of worship ' mean 'church' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'church'). I'm not sure about the 'good' bit.
'spend half an hour amid companions' is the wordplay.
'spend half' suggests halving the letters.
'an hour' becomes 'hr' (abbreviation).
'amid' is an insertion indicator.
'companions' becomes 'curch' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'hr' with half the letters taken is 'h'.
'h' going inside 'curch' is 'CHURCH'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for church that I've seen before include "fold" , "Building for religious worship" , "Holy establishment" , "Place for public worship" , "Ecclesiastical building" .)
