Is youngster able to reach refectory? (7)
I believe the answer is:
canteen
'refectory?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is youngster able' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'youngster' could be 'teen' (teenager) and 'teen' is found in the answer.
'able' could be 'can' and 'can' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to reach' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for canteen that I've seen before include "Office eating area" , "NAAFI" , "Box containing cutlery" , "Workplace restaurant" , "eating-place?" .)
