He has a beer sent round to (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anatole

'he' is the definition.

'a beer sent round to' is the wordplay.
'a' becomes 'an'.
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'sent round' indicates putting letters inside.
'ale' placed around 'to' is 'atole'.
'an'+'atole'='ANATOLE'

'has' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for anatole that I've seen before include "France maybe" , "France possibly" , "France perhaps" , "- - France, French novelist" , "- France, Fr. writer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
