Pair consuming coffee and course of meal (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

platter

'course of meal' is the definition.
(a platter is a dish of food)

'pair consuming coffee' is the wordplay.
'pair' becomes 'pr'.
'consuming' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'coffee' becomes 'latte' (type of coffee drink).
'pr' enclosing 'latte' is 'PLATTER'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for platter that I've seen before include "Charger" , "Salver" , "Shallow serving dish" , "old record?" , "Large flat plate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
