Have for tea, perhaps? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eat

'have' is the definition.
(eating is a kind of having)

'tea perhaps?' is the wordplay.
'perhaps?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'perhaps' mean this).
'tea' anagrammed gives 'EAT'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for eat that I've seen before include "and 27: Be humiliated" , "Scoff" , "Have 23d [MEAL]" , "Be corrosive" , "Gobble up" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
