Pub in heaven needing food? (6)
I believe the answer is:
skinny
'needing food?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'pub in heaven' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'inn' (an inn is a type of pub).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'heaven' becomes 'sky' (I've seen this in another clue).
'inn' placed inside 'sky' is 'SKINNY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skinny that I've seen before include "Underfed" , "little of substance?" , "Very slim" , "Spare: coffee with skimmed milk" , "Pejoratively thin" .)
