Food to bake badly at Birkenhead (5)
I believe the answer is:
kebab
'food' is the definition.
(I know that kebab is a type of dish)
'bake badly at birkenhead' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in the wrong order).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'birkenhead' becomes 'b' (head letter of 'birken').
'bake' is an anagram of 'keba'.
'keba'+'b'='KEBAB'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for kebab that I've seen before include "Meat grilled on skewer" , "Cubes of meat on a skewer" , "Small pieces of meat and veg cooked on a skewer" , "Grilled or roasted dish; b-bake (anag.)" , "Small pieces of meat and vegetables cooked on skewer" .)
