<p>In 1941 there was a planning application to build a nursery at 7 Osborne Road, Stroud Green, "at the rear of the British restaurant". A copy is in Bruce Castle's collection of Hornsey Council planning applications. This particular one is numbered 11816, and the Museum Reference is 1/HLA/B2/6 ROADS STR-TET.</p>

<p>One of these restaurants was in Crescent Road N22, this is nowadays a Deli.</p>
<p> I remember queing and that cooking smells were not like those at home but it was wholesome food.</p>
<p>Next door was a greengrocer which was not open every day and not well stocked but us kids were able to scrounge loose cabbage leaves from the floor or emptied crates for our rabbits.</p>

<p>I remember the civic restaurant at West Green Primary School where I was a pupil from 1945 to 1949..The food was prepared by the school kitchen staff and eaten in the school hall. My mother ate there sometimes and said the food was very good</p>

<p>I'm a bit late to the party, as I'm surfing "back numbers" but thought I'd add my pennyworth anyway, for the little historical record!</p>
<p>The Hornsey Historical Society bulletin "Home Fires - A North London Suburb at War" has a mention of Hornsey County School's main assembly hall doubling up as a British Restaurant. School lay between Pemberton and Mattison Roads.(memoir related to 1943)</p>

<p>I believe that the YMCA in Tottenham Lane was a post-war Civic Restaurant. Perhaps that followed on from having been a wartime British Restaurant? However, I have not yet found a formal refence to either, in resources readily available to this layman.</p> I have a feeling that the Cri…tag:harringayonline.com,2016-06-03:844301:Comment:8841102016-06-03T15:13:27.978ZRichard Woodshttps://harringayonline.com/profile/RichardWoods
<p>I have a feeling that the Criterion Restaurant between, I think Frobisher and Falklands or maybe the next block started life as one of these. I recall it being rather austere and plain. We ended up there on Christmas Day in about 1952 after our Christmas was stolen on the 23rd through an easily opened toilet window! But its funnier since my father was then a serving Metropolitan Police detective... <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/></p>

<p>I remember seeing references to a 'feeding station' in the old NHP log books so I assume the school was part of the scheme. I'm pretty sure meals were provided during most of the school holidays and tbh I thought they were for only for the children.</p>
<p>Very interesting Hugh!</p>
