Puts out a seat and has a meal (4)
I believe the answer is:
eats
'has a meal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'puts out a seat' is the wordplay.
'puts out' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'put out' mean this).
'seat' with letters rearranged gives 'EATS'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for eats that I've seen before include "Devours - food" , "worrying" , "(Consumes) food" , "Takes nourishment" , "Is not any faster" .)
