Eat where there's a lot of noise at closing time (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dine

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

'eat' is the definition.
(to dine is to eat a meal)

'there's a lot of noise at closing time' is the wordplay.
'there's a lot of noise' becomes 'din' (I've seen this in another clue).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'closing time' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'din'+'e'='DINE'

'where' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dine that I've seen before include "Have supper" , "Eat main meal" , "Eat with Enid?" , "Take meal" , "Feed" .)
