Point of banquet without starter? (4)
I believe the answer is:
east
'point' is the definition.
(I know that east is a type of cardinal compass point)
'banquet without starter?' is the wordplay.
'banquet' becomes 'feast' (synonyms).
'without starter?' means to remove the first letter (I've seen 'without starter' mean this).
'feast' with its initial letter removed is 'EAST'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for east that I've seen before include "bridge-player" , "4 dn 17 dn" , "Asia" , "Where the sun rises" , "Bridge player" .)
