Make your way slowly to table at half past (6)

I believe the answer is:

stroll

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

'make your way slowly' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'table at half past' is the wordplay.
'table' becomes 'roll' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'half' suggests halving the letters.
'past' with half the letters taken is 'st'.
'roll' after 'st' is 'STROLL'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stroll that I've seen before include "Walk in a leisurely way" , "A casual or lazy walk" , "A casual or leisurely walk" , "walk in a leisurely manner" , "A quiet, pleasant walk" .)
