At meal times, even Radio Head comes to the studio (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atelier

'to the studio' is the definition.
(atelier is a kind of studio)

'at meal times even radio head' is the wordplay.
'even' means one should take alternating letters (letters in even-numbered positions are used).
'head' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'radio' is 'r'.
'meal'+'times'='mealtimes'
The alternate letters of 'mealtimes' are 'elie'.
'at'+'elie'+'r'='ATELIER'

'comes' is the link.

(Other definitions for atelier that I've seen before include "Artist's workroom" , "Artist's workshop, studio" , "I relate to workshop used by artist" , "Tie earl up in the artist's place" , "Artist's studio (French)" .)
