Eat out — and manage well (4,1,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
have a way with
'manage well' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'eat out and' is the wordplay.
'eat' becomes 'have' (I've seen this in another clue).
'out' becomes 'away' (synonyms).
'and' becomes 'with'.
'have'+'away'+'with'='HAVE A WAY WITH'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
