In each clue the wordplay indicates an extra letter, not required for its solution. These extra letters in clue order spell out an instruction as to how a number of solutions are to be treated before being entered in the grid.
Even letters of OF BEANO IN GB HOTEL BIG anagram
FENIGHTLI
Alternate letters - (bea)n(o) i(n) g(b) h(o)t(e)l (b)i(g) f(r)e(e)
That looks another way Danny
Evening = even letters "of beano in GB hotel, big"
Free = anagram
Evenings entertainment = nightlife
JJ, what about f & e
Danny's way works to a point, except in the word 'Beano'
Extra letters Lynne? I'm not familiar with this crossword.
The F aand E come from the even letters "O(F) B(E)ANO
Once you get the letters FENIGHTLI "free" = anagram
Added the instructions from the site.
Perhaps the 'F' is the extra letter?
All the other letters stated by JJ are as said, alternate letters anagrammed (free)
No wiser Lynne.What is correct parse?
Aaah, I missed the 'of' as well
Ta Capt. I get it now.
Me ?

No idea, jj's looks good.
