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

'plant eaters' is the definition.
'vegetarians' can be an answer for 'eaters' (vegetarian is a kind of eater). I'm not sure about the 'plant' bit.

'a tavern is struggling to accommodate eg' is the wordplay.
'struggling' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters struggle or wriggle into a new form).
'to accommodate' is an insertion indicator.
'a'+'tavern'+'is'='atavernis'
'atavernis' anagrammed gives 'vetarians'.
'vetarians' enclosing 'eg' is 'VEGETARIANS'.

(Other definitions for vegetarians that I've seen before include "No meat eaters" , "Plant-eaters" , "They don't eat meat" .)
