In charge in any pub, moving stock up frantically (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
panic-buy
'stock up frantically' is the definition.
'in charge in any pub moving' is the wordplay.
'in charge' becomes 'ic'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'moving' indicates anagramming the letters.
'any'+'pub'='anypub'
'anypub' anagrammed gives 'panbuy'.
'ic' placed within 'panbuy' is 'PANIC-BUY'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
