Food and a good massage (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grub

'food' is the definition.
(grub can informally mean food)

'a good massage' is the wordplay.
'a good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'massage' becomes 'rub' (rub can mean to massage).
'g'+'rub'='GRUB'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for grub that I've seen before include "Food (informal)" , "Eats - larva" , "Larva; food (sl.)" , "Table needs" , "Nosh - larva" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
