Clue of the week:
Have cheese sandwiches and chocolate cake (7,first letter B)
taken from Magpie crossword magazine,Dumpynose.

Also this week we are asked to solve all the down clues, take either the first or last letter from the solution before entering in the grid, and then use the spare letter to enter the longest unclued solution across.
So I'm stuck on
28d. Attractions coming up in area of short grass(4)
so the answer is five letters, and as I have solved the unclued solution the letter that is dropped is an S. I have W_R_.
Any help would be most appreciated.

draw(s) backwards
(s)ward area of grass ?

sorry should have said draws as attractions

Thanks Mamya, it looks good to me

Ward

Sward is an expanse of short grass

Could it be Ward?
A sward is an area of grass, and you have to drop the s. Also an attraction is a draw and you have to reverse it for "coming up"

28d (s)ward of grass = draw (attraction) backwards

Well, we seem to have sorted the easy bit? so...
