Pass over part of meal — it’s not very warm (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coldish

'not very warm' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pass over part of meal' is the wordplay.
'pass' becomes 'col' (col is a kind of pass).
'over' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'part of meal' becomes 'dish' ('dish' is part of 'meal').
'col'+'dish'='COLDISH'

'it's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for coldish that I've seen before include "not very warm" , "wintry weather like this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
