Sought-after chap finally getting back to stew (6)
I believe the answer is:
hotpot
'stew' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sought-after chap finally getting back to' is the wordplay.
'sought-after' becomes 'hot' (I've seen this in another clue).
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'getting back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
The last letter of 'chap' is 'p'.
'to' back-to-front is 'ot'.
'hot'+'p'+'ot'='HOTPOT'
(Other definitions for hotpot that I've seen before include "Stew of meat and sliced potatoes" , "Lancashire casserole of meat and potatoes" , "Lancashire meat dish" , "course" , "(Lancashire) stew" .)
