Set of dishes (4)
I believe the answer is:
meal
'set of dishes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for meal that I've seen before include "Breakfast, dinner or supper" , "Scoff" , "Coarsely ground cereal seeds" , "Coarsely ground grain" , "Breakfast, lunch or dinner" .)
