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

'one serves drinks right after lamb?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'right after lamb?' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'lamb?' becomes 'ewe' (I've seen this before).
'r' put after 'ewe' is 'EWER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ewer that I've seen before include "Big jug" , "Large water jug" , "Jar for water" , "Open vessel with handle and spout" , "Decorative pitcher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
