Cassius perhaps making love close to Nokia charger (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

platter

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

'charger' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cassius perhaps making love close to nokia' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'close to' could be 'at' (close to a location) and 'at' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for platter that I've seen before include "Large shallow dish" , "Charger" , "old record?" , "Salver" , "main course" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
