Rent low, but rising for eatery (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea-room

'eatery' is the definition.
(tea room is a type of eatery)

'rent low but rising' is the wordplay.
'rent' becomes 'tear' (synonyms).
'low' becomes 'moo' (both can mean to make the noise of a cow).
'but rising' is a reversal indicator.
'moo' back-to-front is 'oom'.
'tear'+'oom'='TEA-ROOM'

'for' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
