Superior meal with no starter (5)
I believe the answer is:
upper
'superior' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'meal with no starter' is the wordplay.
'meal' becomes 'supper' (supper is a kind of meal).
'with no starter' means to remove the first letter.
'supper' with its first letter taken off is 'UPPER'.
(Other definitions for upper that I've seen before include "Amphetamine pill" , "Section of Oxford" , "Higher in position; drug" , "Higher in place or position" , "Nearer the top" .)
