Article in German about pub meal (6)
I believe the answer is:
dinner
'meal' is the definition.
(I know that dinner is a type of meal)
'article in german about pub' is the wordplay.
'article in german' becomes 'der' (I've seen this in another clue).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'pub' becomes 'inn' (an inn is a type of pub).
'der' placed around 'inn' is 'DINNER'.
(Other definitions for dinner that I've seen before include "serving in 20 [MESS] ?" , "Repast" , "What feeds" , "Eat it in the strange red inn" , "grub" .)
