There's something for everyone
What does Goose Fair mean to you? Is it trying out the latest white knuckle ride or seeing your kids smiling faces on the roundabouts? Or is it the traditional fairground grub that draws you there?
There's many pretenders out there but this is the real deal. The peas are not out of a tin but cooked the traditional way over hot coals. After being soaked for 24 hours they're cooked in big metal pots behind the stall until mushed to perfection. Candy Floss What's a fair without candy floss? The melt-in-the-mouth confectionary is a must for sweet-toothed fair-goers. Sandra Mayne, of Maidstone, Kent, has been coming to Goose Fair for 30 years and is busy twirling freshly spun clouds of blue, pink and white floss when she's not serving up burgers at the Main Street Diner.
Coconuts A coconut shy used to be one of the side stalls at fairgrounds in bygone days. Punters would throw balls in an attempt to knock coconuts off a row of posts. But it seems a dying tradition - ask any 10-year-old and they wouldn't have a clue. Kebab King The kings of kebabs are back once again, all the way from Manchester. They've been coming to Goose Fair now for more than 10 years and always prove a fairground favourite.
Burgers There's no shortage of burger vans dotted around the site. Chefs' Grill is located on the main strip of food and drink stands. Here you will find a standard burger for £4.50, or add cheese for a further 50p. The classic, served with onions, cheese and bacon comes to £6 while chill heads can spice it up with the Diablo with jalapenos and hot chilli sauce, also £6.
The carvery What's not to love about a traditional hot roast pork bap... apart from the fact they really ought to call it a cob. Don't you know you're in Nottinum mi ducks?
