Lofty person holding meeting concerning item to be used in family restaurants, perhaps? (9)
I believe the answer is:
highchair
'meeting concerning item to be used in family restaurants perhaps?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'lofty person' is the wordplay.
'lofty' becomes 'high' (similar in meaning).
'person' becomes 'chair' (chair is a kind of person).
'high'+'chair'='HIGHCHAIR'
'holding' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for highchair that I've seen before include "Seat for baby at table" , "Raised child's seat" , "Baby's seat" , "Lofty perch for baby to sit and eat in" .)
