Provide food and drink in broken crate (5)
I believe the answer is:
cater
'provide food and drink' is the definition.
(as in catering for an event)
'broken crate' is the wordplay.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'crate' is an anagram of 'CATER'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for cater that I've seen before include "Trace in order to serve" , "so put out food?" , "Supply food for parties" , "Provide goods or services for" , "provide meals" .)
