Set meal and free bed at hotel (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

table dhote

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'set meal' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'free bed at hotel' is the wordplay.
'free' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bed'+'at'+'hotel'='bedathotel'
'bedathotel' anagrammed gives 'TABLE DHOTE'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for table dhote that I've seen before include "With set menu" , "meal; no alternative" , "Fixed menu with fixed price" .)
