Strike repeatedly for food provision (6)
I believe the answer is:
buffet
'strike' is the definition.
(I know that buffet is a kind of strike)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for buffet that I've seen before include "Refreshment counter - slap" , "Batter - refreshment counter" , "Help-yourself meal - batter" , "Refreshment - strike" , "Wallop" .)
