As always, too many tasty goodies to properly digest in one sitting, but here goes.

Shortlisted clues had (IMHO) the smoothest surfaces combined with precise wordplay/definitions:

paulh 34, bringing to my mind the Mr. Creosote segment from The Meaning of Life; perhaps a wafer-thin mint to follow?
dorrien 33, nice surface, also a timely reminder to use a designated driver
mattrom 29, nice deceptive use of "setter" - but whose thigh bone was that?
mathprof 27, although by all accounts Mr. Burrell is actually a pretty nice guy.
paul 6, a delightful irony in the fact that if you said this to (or about) Emma in HR, you'd get into big trouble with HR.

After some time being distracted by the thought of shapely Emma from HR, I have decided the winner is:

paulh 34: Delicious jugged hare outside in buffet (6)
