Many thanks to all I thought of 'CLAM' but did not know about Clam(our) approach so couldn't justify it. Many thanks.
Incidentally please can anyone explain another answer in the same crossword. Wheat all are able to see in part of the kitchen (5) The answer is DURUM - I get the wheat bit but what about the rest of the clue?
U is for universal, rating for a film for everyone, but the only drum I can think of is a drum in a washing machine

Thank you Cashier - Inspired by your answer I think I have a connection - drum led me to 'kettle-drum' so I looked in Bradford's and saw under kettle is 'drum' and under drum is 'kettle' - I hate finding an answer but not knowing why! Thanks again. I must say this crossword did take a lot of completing with several unusual words this month.
Kitchen also means the percussion section of an orchestra.
The "Kitchen" is a slang term for the percussion section of an orchestra

You make it even clearer. Many thanks all round
You're welcome,comeragh - I didn't know that until recently (and am proud that I remembered it!).
