How the clue works
Look at as good as Paul (or Brendan)? at the end — that's your definition, since Paul and Brendan are both saints. The wordplay builds it up piece by piece: Setter's beginning gives you S, then isn't in informal speech gives you AINT, and finally fancy in the sense of "do you like it?" gives you LIKE.
