Like Bunter coming in to be served (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obese

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

'like bunter coming' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'in to be served' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'OBESE' is hidden in the letters of 'to be served'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for obese that I've seen before include "Enormously portly" , "Stout" , "Pathologically fat" , "likely to tip the balance?" , "Excessively fat" .)
