I believe the answer is:

carvery

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

'typical pub grub' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'bear stuffed with vegetable tips' is the wordplay.
'bear' becomes 'carry' (bear can mean to carry).
'stuffed with' indicates putting letters inside (some letters get stuffed inside).
'tips' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (just the outer letters of the world).
'vegetable' with its centre taken out is 've'.
'carry' going around 've' is 'CARVERY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for carvery that I've seen before include "food outlet" , "Buffet serving sliced meat" , "Buffet with roasts" , "Buffet-style restaurant" , "likely to be hot at 19 across [REASTAURANT]" .)
