Where, right at the end, holiday-makers got food (4)
I believe the answer is:
pier
'where right at the end holiday-makers got food' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'where right at the end' is the wordplay.
'where' becomes 'pie' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'at the end' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pie'+'r'='PIER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pier that I've seen before include "Wharf jutting out into water" , "Structure extending seawards" , "Seaside structure" , "Ripe as a jetty (4)" , "Seaside resort feature" .)
