A great new place to study and somewhere to eat

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea garden

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

'study and somewhere to eat' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'a great new place' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'place' becomes 'den' (den is a kind of place**).
'a'+'great'='agreat'
'agreat' is an anagram of 'teagar'.
'teagar'+'den'='TEA-GARDEN'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tea garden that I've seen before include "Kind of plantation" , "eat alfresco here" , "drinks here?" , "outdoor restaurant" , "trombonist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
