Anglican carrying iron rod in drinking establishment (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
coffee bar
'anglican' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'carrying iron rod in drinking establishment' is the wordplay.
'carrying' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, the bottom letters carry others).
'iron rod in' becomes 'coffee' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'drinking establishment' becomes 'bar' (place that serves drinks).
'coffee' put next to 'bar' is 'COFFEE BAR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for coffee bar that I've seen is " Buffet".)
