Large cola ordered in neighbourhood pub (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

local

'neighbourhood pub' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'large cola ordered in' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'l' (**).
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cola' is an anagram of 'ocal'.
'l' going inside 'ocal' is 'LOCAL'.

(Other definitions for local that I've seen before include "Pub down the road?" , "Anaesthetic that numbs one area of the body" , "Confined to a place" , "Pub - not far away" , "Public house - not far away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
