Nice without large yokel (7)
I believe the answer is:
peasant
'yokel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'nice without large' is the wordplay.
'nice' becomes 'pleasant' (similar in meaning).
'without' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'pleasant' with 'l' taken out is 'PEASANT'.
(Other definitions for peasant that I've seen before include "Revolting person" , "Member of rural underclass" , "rude fellow" , "Lowly 20 worker" , "Poor smallholder" .)
