The entry with the most votes wins and its composer hosts the next week's competition.
The host has a deciding vote in the event of a tie and may change the rules,
& times, if necessary.

It is customary for the host to award an online prize when declaring the winner.

The answer to be clued is: RESTAURANT (10)

Greasy spoon may hold or dribble. (10)

Diner to stay on golden ham (10)

Run, rats ate badly here (10)

Apologies syzygy - not entering this week as (in the unlikely event of me winning), I'll have trouble running it next weekend - houseful, mainly of relations, to celebrate our Ruby Wedding.

Couldn't resist a go (for fun - please ignore when voting).

Nature's art produced here? (10)

P.S. there are several more great anagrams, but I'll leave them for genuine contestants to discover!

No worries, Chrise, & congratulations on your anniversary ! That's a long time, (-;
so, another Well Done.

Thanks, syzzie.

Only takes a minute.
