Cooked meal in bed at Arthur's place (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

camelot

'arthur's place' is the definition.
(court of King Arthur)

'cooked meal in bed' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bed' becomes 'cot' (cot is a kind of bed).
'meal' with letters rearranged gives 'amel'.
'amel' put inside 'cot' is 'CAMELOT'.

'at' is the link.

(Other definitions for camelot that I've seen before include "Scene of King Arthur's court" , "King Arthur court - or JFK's" , "Musical about King Arthur" , "Fabulous city" , "King Arthur's kingdom - or JFK's" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
