Dash back to eat at European business venue (7,6)

I believe the answer is:

trading estate

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

'business venue' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'dash back to eat at european' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'eat' is 'ate' which is present in the answer.
'at' could be 'in' (synonymous in some cases - eg at school, in school) and 'in' is found within the answer.
'european' could be 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU) and 'e' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
