Guy with large English spoon (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ladle

'spoon' is the definition.
(I know that ladle is a type of spoon)

'guy with large english' is the wordplay.
'guy' becomes 'lad' (both can mean a man or boy).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'lad'+'l'+'e'='LADLE'

(Other definitions for ladle that I've seen before include "Big spoon" , "Scoop" , "Soup-server" , "It's used to serve soup" , "Deep-bowled spoon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
