Guts pub on peninsula (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

innards

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'guts' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pub on peninsula' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'inn' (an inn is a type of pub).
'on peninsula' becomes 'ards' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'inn'+'ards'='INNARDS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for innards that I've seen before include "Internal organs" , "Guts of mechanism" , "Informal intestines and organs" , "Informally, stomach and bowels" , "Most of haggis" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
