Help! Cannot for the life of me work out what 12 across "Fervour of pseud" preacher? can be S?O?N?R only words I can fit in are scorner, spooner or swooner - none of which make sense! Looking for assistance please

Server of feud - spooner

[Mamyalynne]

I vote - Spooner

The quote looks like a spoonerism and he was a Reverend.

There's a column, 'Pseuds Corner', in Private Eye. Scorner?

[Nibble]

Spooner (as in Spoonerism)

[sandyRoe]

On brief reflection, Spooner it is.

[ichkeria]

Server of food - as a spooner might be as well as the preacher himself

[Jackdaw33]

Good. Hadn't thought about a double meaning.

[mra1]

Thank you very much everyone - forgive the pun but I did not have a clue!!!!

[Jackdaw33]

The problem is it doesn't quite work because pseud and food do not rhyme.

[ichkeria]

Depends how you pronounce it

[Jackdaw33]

I would say (p)seeood and food.
