Agreeable friend with a place to eat (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

palatable

'agreeable' is the definition.
('palatable' can be similar in meaning to 'agreeable')

'friend with a place to eat' is the wordplay.
'friend' becomes 'pal' (pal is a kind of friend**).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'place to eat' becomes 'table'.
'pal'+'a'+'table'='PALATABLE'

(Other definitions for palatable that I've seen before include "Of food, tasting nice; of idea, acceptable" , "Pleasant to the taste, acceptable" , "good to eat" , "Tasty" , "pleasing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
