Food for a friar (4)

I believe the answer is:

tuck

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'food' is the first definition.
(tuck can mean food)

'friar' is the second definition.
(Friar Tuck)

'for a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tuck that I've seen before include "Food (colloq)" , "Fold - friar!" , "Fold - grub" , "Eats" , "Position for diving" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Daily Express.
