'honoured' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a meal going round the west end' is the wordplay.
'a meal' becomes 'feed' (I've seen this in other clues).
'going round' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go around others).
'end' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'west' is 't'.
'feed' enclosing 't' is 'FETED'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for feted that I've seen before include "Wined, dined and honoured" , "Lionised" , "Honoured lavishly" , "Honoured with festivities" , "Wined and dined, celebrated" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
