Articulate account written up about fair canteen (9)
I believe the answer is:
cafeteria
'canteen' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cafeteria that I've seen before include "cheap restaurant" , "place of refreshment" , "where food is served" , "dining-room" , "Self-service eating place" .)
