BATS means ‘is in’ in the sense of cricket, and is also a synonym for 1D.

But IMO “aidance” and “bats” are both poor. The first is an anachronism and since when does A1 mean brilliant rather than in top condition or in good health.
“Bats” makes no sense v the clued “1 down is in”. Unless I’ve missed something.

I wasn’t sure a chef would be in a dining car, but I couldn’t squeeze restaurant in.

19 ac: brilliant! Like 1ac…
