Banquet in France initially and the Orient (5)
I believe the answer is:
feast
'banquet' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'france initially and the orient' is the wordplay.
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the orient' becomes 'east' (synonyms).
The initial letter of 'france' is 'f'.
'f'+'east'='FEAST'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for feast that I've seen before include "Sumptuous meal" , "Tuck-in; blow-out" , "Saint's day, for example" , "'Enough is as good as a .....'" , "Eat lavishly" .)
