Refurbished local tea place (8)
I believe the answer is:
allocate
'place' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'refurbished local tea' is the wordplay.
'refurbished' indicates an anagram.
'local'+'tea'='localtea'
'localtea' with letters rearranged gives 'ALLOCATE'.
(Other definitions for allocate that I've seen before include "Assign or give to, say a duty" , "Deal" , "Allot" , "Assign for a purpose" , "Make assignments" .)
