Simon’s perhaps getting food sent up from city (5,10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saint petersburg

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'city' is the definition.
(Saint Petersburg is an example)

'simon's perhaps getting food sent up from' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'food' could be 'pet' (pet food is a kind of food) and 'pet' is located in the answer.
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saint petersburg that I've seen before include "capital no longer" , "former capital" , "city" , "[TSAR] would call this home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
