Crossword Genius

Mare too wild for a cafe (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tearoom

'a cafe' is the definition.
(tearoom is a type of cafe)

'mare too wild' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'mare'+'too'='maretoo'
'maretoo' is an anagram of 'TEAROOM'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tearoom that I've seen before include "Restaurant for light meals" , "Small restaurant" , "24" , "Cafeteria" , "Where light refreshments are served" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
