Feasting greedily in club, liable to waste days (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

battening

'feasting greedily' is the definition.
(batten can mean to feed on on gluttonously)

'club liable to waste days' is the wordplay.
'club' becomes 'bat' (as in sporting equipment).
'liable' becomes 'tending' (someone tending to do something is liable to do it).
'to waste' suggests deleting specific letters.
'days' becomes 'd'.
'tending' with 'd' taken out is 'tening'.
'bat'+'tening'='BATTENING'

'in' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
