Fabulous surroundings for papa having simple meal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

supper

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

'simple meal' is the definition.
'supper' can be an answer for 'meal' (supper is a kind of meal). I'm not certain of the 'simple' bit.

'fabulous surroundings for papa' is the wordplay.
'fabulous' becomes 'super' (I've seen this in another clue).
'surroundings for' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'papa' becomes 'P' (NATO / phonetic alphabet).
'super' going around 'p' is 'SUPPER'.

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
