Ah, ok, just seen 21d. My bad (as teenagers say).

Can I ask for some help please?

I am really struggling with 19a, 20a and 25a.

Could someone throw some hints in my direction please?

20 dropped h followed by homonym
19 abbreviations at the end with a three letter word for a credit notte at the beginning
25 anagram meaning something that is proverbially shut

On the easier side today - I particularly liked the 15a, 8d combination. I’m not convinced that the answer to 25 actually does what the definition suggests - aren’t they saloon instead?

Ty for advice.

Still no idea! I’ll probably just google the answers later on.

Druh;
19a think of a 3-letter word for what you might ask for in a pub when ordering lots of different things. That's followed by the usual abbreviations for the first three words. 'Up front' is an indication that you put the second part of the clue at the beginning.

25a Daffy is the anagram indicator for the words that follow.

Can't help you with 20a as I'm still struggling with that myself. Any further hints form others much appreciated!

Like Chrise, earlier on, I have a problem with the definition for 7d. I also don't get the definition for 21d - why does the answer mean 'tosses'? And finally the definition for 25a - I agree with drjax (at no 14). Surely the answer doesn't 'swing both ways'??

Can anyone explain the parsing of 6d? I have the answer but, apart from the first word, I can't parse any of the rest of it.

Still struggling with 13d - any hints appreciated.

6d what's the first thing on your bill in a restaurant?

21d definition is first 2 words (not just the first as I thought earlier)

13d what are you doing now?

13d is a double definition of what Everyman produces each week and an argument.
Re 6d assuming the request for money a restaurant issues at the end of the meal lists what you have had in order of consumption, the appetisers would appear at the answer, as does the leading lady.
Have a fab Sunday.

Thanks to Everyman.
One particular longish across anagram grated on me (same word appearing within fodder and solution), so it may not be one of his most inspired efforts. Another down anagram was a bit of a clinker.

But there were some nice subtle touches, e.g. misdirection in 3.
