Crossword Genius

Large coal order for pub (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

local

'pub' is the definition.
(one's local pub)

'large coal order' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'order' is an anagram indicator.
'coal' with letters rearranged gives 'ocal'.
'l'+'ocal'='LOCAL'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for local that I've seen before include "Your friendly neighbourhood pub" , "Of the particular neighbourhood" , "In nearby area" , "where the neighbours drink?" , "Nieghbourhood pub or its customer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
