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

'ate well' is the definition.
'feasted' can be an answer for 'ate' (feasting is a kind of eating). I am not sure about the 'well' bit.

'cracking safe edward' is the wordplay.
'cracking' indicates anagramming the letters.
'edward' becomes 'ted'.
'safe' anagrammed gives 'feas'.
'feas'+'ted'='FEASTED'
