Tortes from tea trolleys in a narrow passageway (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alley

'a narrow passageway' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tortes from tea trolleys' is the wordplay.
'from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'tea'+'trolleys'='teatrolleys'
'teatrolleys' with 'tortes' taken out is 'ALLEY'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for alley that I've seen before include "Narrow passageway" , "garden path" , "space in US court" , "Walk" , "Passage between houses, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
