'bit of lamb maybe setter served up' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'bit of lamb maybe setter served up' is the wordplay.
'bit of' suggests taking the first letters.
'maybe setter' becomes 'ge' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'served up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
The initial letter of 'lamb' is 'l'.
'ge' written backwards gives 'eg'.
'l'+'eg'='LEG'
