Just the place to keep a bill of fare (6,6)

'just' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'the place to keep a bill of fare' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'fare' could be 'e' (E is an example) and 'e' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
