Inn having area for small restaurant (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taverna

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'small restaurant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'inn having area for' is the wordplay.
'inn' becomes 'tavern' (I've seen this in another clue).
'having' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'area for' becomes 'a' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tavern'+'a'='TAVERNA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taverna that I've seen before include "Small Greek restaurant with bar" , "pub" , "Greek inn" , "Greek guesthouse" , "Greek bar/restaurant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
