Place to eat grub, so apt abroad (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gastropub

'place to eat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'grub so apt abroad' is the wordplay.
'abroad' indicates an anagram.
'grub'+'so'+'apt'='grubsoapt'
'grubsoapt' anagrammed gives 'GASTROPUB'.

(Other definitions for gastropub that I've seen before include "Eatery" , "Eaterie" , "Place to eat" , "Bogus trap (anag) -- somewhere good to eat and drink?" , "Bar serving high-quality food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
