Portico, very hot, fringing Europe's foremost golf club (8)
I believe the answer is:
verandah
'portico' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'very hot fringing europe's foremost golf club' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'very' could be 'v' (abbreviation) and 'v' is found in the answer.
'hot' could be 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps) and 'h' is found in the answer.
'golf club' could be 'randa' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'randa' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for verandah that I've seen before include "gallery" , "Roofed platform adjoining a house" , "Porch" , "16 21 [INDIAN IMPORT]" , "Roofed area on the side of a house" .)
