Top grub (as cooked here?) (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gastropub

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'here?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'top grub as cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'top'+'grub'+'as'='topgrubas'
'topgrubas' anagrammed gives 'GASTROPUB'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gastropub that I've seen before include "Place for beer and good food" , "Local converted into trendy restaurant" , "Bogus trap (anag) -- somewhere good to eat and drink?" , "Eaterie" , "Bar serving high-quality food" .)
