Extend banquet (6)

I believe the answer is:

spread

I believe this is a double definition.

'extend' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'banquet' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for spread that I've seen before include "advance" , "Scatter or distribute more thinly" , "Distribute or disperse widely" , "Unfold - scatter" , "butter?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
