Restaurant cutlery (7)
I believe the answer is:
canteen
This might be a double definition.
'restaurant' is the first definition.
(both can mean somewhere to eat)
'cutlery' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for canteen that I've seen before include "and where it could be used" , "somewhere to eat" , "Office or factory restaurant" , "Staff eating area" , "Snackbar" .)
