Dishing out for the party (7)
I believe the answer is:
shindig
'party' is the definition.
(I know that shindig is a type of party)
'dishing out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'dishing' anagrammed gives 'SHINDIG'.
'for the' is the link.
(Other definitions for shindig that I've seen before include "Hidings (anag) - party" , "Rumpus" , "Lively party, knees-up" , "Lively celebration (informal)" , "Large and noisy party or quarrel" .)
