Bill especially silly person accepts for larger server (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tablespoon

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

'larger server' is the definition.
'tablespoon' can be an answer for 'server' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'larger' bit.

'bill especially silly person accepts' is the wordplay.
'bill' becomes 'tab' (a tab is a bill at a bar).
'especially' becomes 'esp' (common abbreviation).
'silly person' becomes 'loon'.
'accepts' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'esp' going inside 'loon' is 'lespoon'.
'tab'+'lespoon'='TABLESPOON'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
