Table where Paul ate crackers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plateau

'table' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'paul ate crackers' is the wordplay.
'crackers' is an anagram indicator (informal term for mad).
'paul'+'ate'='paulate'
'paulate' with letters rearranged gives 'PLATEAU'.

'where' is the link.

(Other definitions for plateau that I've seen before include "High level land area" , "Area of level high ground" , "Elevated flat land" , "Flat area of land" , "Reach a level" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
