Takes in some fare at supper? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eats

'takes in' is the definition.
('eat' can be a synonym of 'take in')

'some fare at supper?' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'EATS' is hidden in the letters of 'fare at supper'.

(Other definitions for eats that I've seen before include "Scoff" , "Food (slang)" , "meal" , "Munches" , "Seat (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
