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

'case of vietnamese spring rolls' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'cycling morecambe pier a penny for one' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'per' (eg 'one a day' means 'one per day') and 'per' is found in the answer.
'penny' could be 'p' (short for pence) and 'p' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
