Trendies possibly hoarding name in tableware? (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dinner set

'tableware?' is the definition.
(dinner set is a kind of tableware)

'trendies possibly hoarding name' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'hoarding' indicates putting letters inside.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'trendies' is an anagram of 'dinerset'.
'dinerset' going around 'n' is 'DINNER-SET'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dinner set that I've seen before include "Table service" , "China" , "might be taken out for a meal" , "Plates etc" , "crockery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
