Establishment purveying beer: diet? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

local

This clue is a double definition.

'establishment purveying beer' is the first definition.
(term for a pub)

'diet?' is the second definition.
(lo-cal is short for 'low calories')

(Other definitions for local that I've seen before include "Convenient pub" , "In the vicinity" , "Nieghbourhood pub or its customer" , "belonging to particular area?" , "Pub down the road?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
