Meal's about finished (6)

I believe the answer is:

repast

'meal's' is the definition.
('repast' can be a synonym of 'meal')

'about finished' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'finished' becomes 'past' (**).
're'+'past'='REPAST'

(Other definitions for repast that I've seen before include "Prates about meal" , "lunch?" , "A meal concerning time gone by" , "Food - tapers (anag)" , "Feast, meal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
