Crossword Genius

Serving his pud, strangely, with gin (7,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dishing up

'serving' is the definition.
(dishing up food)

'his pud strangely with gin' is the wordplay.
'strangely with' is an anagram indicator.
'his'+'pud'='hispud'
'hispud' anagrammed with 'gin' gives 'DISHING UP'.

(Another definition for dishing up that I've seen is " Serving food".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
