Warder brings carp to diner (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beefeater

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'carp to diner' is the wordplay.
'carp' becomes 'beef' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to diner' becomes 'eater' (to dine is to eat a meal).
'beef'+'eater'='BEEFEATER'

'brings' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beefeater that I've seen before include "One might guard" , "royal bodyguard" , "Yeoman of the Guard; carnivore" , "Bodyguard of the British monarch" , "no vegetarian?" .)
