Show a priest the potentially gin-free side of Ealing (6)

I believe the answer is:

reveal

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

'show' is the definition.
(revealing is a kind of showing)

'a priest the potentially gin-free side of ealing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'priest' could be 'rev' (short for reverend) and 'rev' is located in the answer.
'side' could be 'l' (abbreviation for left) and 'l' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reveal that I've seen before include "Tell the truth" , "Make known, expose" , "Make known or visible" , "Expose or disclose" , "let out" .)
