Supply hot kettle chips around noon – now things are getting interesting (3,4,8)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Fifteensquared have:
(Hot kettle chips)* around n{oon}. Supply seems slightly unconvincing as an anagram indicator in that it lacks any sense of the letters being disordered. It’s possible it’s intended as adverb of supple i.e. letters arranged in a supple way, although there is no verb to which the word would be applied.
