Pitch tent then start enjoying nice cuppa and meat pie (6)

I believe the answer is:

encamp

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

'pitch tent' is the definition.
'encamp' can be an answer for 'tent' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'pitch' bit.

'start enjoying nice cuppa and meat pie' is the wordplay.
'start' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'enjoying nice cuppa and meat pie' is 'ENCAMP'.

'then' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for encamp that I've seen before include "Go in for canvassing" , "Put up tents" , "Settle in tents" , "set up home?" , "Establish tented accommodation (for soldiers)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
