And cheeses come round with the drinks (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brandies

'the drinks' is the definition.
(brandy is a kind of drink)

'and cheeses come round' is the wordplay.
'cheeses' becomes 'bries' (Brie is an example).
'come round' is an insertion indicator.
'and' inserted into 'bries' is 'BRANDIES'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Another definition for brandies that I've seen is " Strong drinks distilled from wine".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
