Nice try anyway! I am really stomped on this (especially since I think the 2nd letter may well be H).

I think CHAROLLais has an extra L - which would fit, wouldn't it?

I've been googling it with 2 Ls, but that only gives results for sheep, not cattle.

the double ll in charollais is for the breed of sheep the single l is for cattle, could be a mistake on behalf of the crossword setter

The full clue is:

Source of beef tea and bread buns with super filling.

Have seen it explained as:

Cha(tea) + A1 (in) Rolls

The surely indisputable Chambers says:Charolais or Charollais - a breed of beef cattle, and more recently of sheep named after an old district of Francs.
