Sweeping lager off plate (5-5)
I believe the answer is:
large-scale
'sweeping' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'lager off plate' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'plate' becomes 'scale' (synonyms).
'lager' with letters rearranged gives 'large'.
'large'+'scale'='LARGE-SCALE'
(Other definitions for large-scale that I've seen before include "Wide-ranging" , "Extensive" .)
