Meal with politicians at event (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dinner party

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

'meal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'with politicians at event' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'politicians at' becomes 'dinner' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'event' becomes 'party' (party is a kind of event).
'dinner'+'party' is 'DINNER PARTY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dinner party that I've seen before include "social function" , "Social gathering over a meal" , "Sociable gathering for meal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
