A buffet for the party (4)

I believe the answer is:

bash

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'a buffet' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'the party' is the second definition.
(bash is a kind of party)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for bash that I've seen before include "social occasion" , "Heavy blow; party" , "Party; attempt (slang)" , "Smite; a party" , "Break - party" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
