Pastry dishes brought up for daughter in Warks town (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stratford

'warks town' is the definition.
(Stratford-upon-Avon, town in Warwickshire)

'pastry dishes brought up for daughter' is the wordplay.
'pastry dishes' becomes 'tarts' (tart is a type of pastry).
'brought up' says the letters should be written in reverse (in a down clue, letters go up).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'tarts' written backwards gives 'strat'.
'strat'+'for'+'d'='STRATFORD'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stratford that I've seen before include "The Bard's birthplace" , "East London area" , "London district hosting the 2012 Olympic Games" , "Shakespeare birthplace" , "Shakespeare's birthplace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
