Table bearing a fowl (7)
I believe the answer is:
roaster
'fowl' is the definition.
(roaster is a kind of fowl)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roaster that I've seen before include "Chicken, perhaps" , "Oven-ready bird" , "Fowl for the oven" , "Oven chicken?" , "cooker" .)
