Grilled food from pub -- be prompt (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barbecue

'grilled food' is the definition.
(barbecue food is grilled)

'pub be prompt' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'prompt' becomes 'cue' (cue can mean a prompt or signal).
'bar'+'be'+'cue'='BARBECUE'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for barbecue that I've seen before include "Cuba beer for outdoor meat meal" , "Outdoor eating occasion" , "Cook-out" , "Portable grill for cooking outdoors" , "Outdoor cookery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
