Crossword Genius

Shut up and eat! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bolt

This clue is a double definition.

'shut up' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'eat' is the second definition.
(bolting is a kind of eating)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for bolt that I've seen before include "writer" , "wolf" , "Lock - run away - gobble - lightning flash - cloth roll" , "Fasten - flee" , "one may be shot" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
