Property providing something for boozers inside — others had food outside (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

real estate

'property' is the definition.
(I know that real estate is a type of property)

'something for boozers inside others had food outside' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'had' could be 'ate' (e.g. I had an ice cream) and 'ate' is located in the answer.
'food' could be 'ale' (ale is a kind of food) and 'ale' is located in the answer.
'others' could be 'rest' (I've seen this before) and 'rest' is found within the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'providing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for real estate that I've seen before include "Land in America" , "US-style spread?" , "properties" , "Property, land (esp. US)" , "Land (mainly US)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
