Cosy area behind pub that keeps a lot of green around (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
beer garden
'pub that keeps a lot of green around' is the definition.
'beer garden' can be an answer for 'pub' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the rest of the definition.
'cosy area behind' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'area' could be 'garden' (garden is a kind of area) and 'garden' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'beer' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beer garden that I've seen before include "that adjoins pub" , "recreation area?" , "Outdoor drinks area" , "somewhere to drink" , "Outdoor pub area" .)
