Founded in 1955, Berni Inn was a chain of British restaurants established by brothers Frank and Aldo Berni, who were Welsh Italians. The Berni Inn logo consisted of red block lettering, with elongated leading lines on the R and N, throughout the chain's duration. The first Berni Inn was at The Rummer, a historic public house in central Bristol. The restaurants introduced the post-war British public to its own home-grown restaurant chain, which came with its own pre-stylised restaurants with Tudor-looking false oak beams and white wall.
Famous quotes containing the word inn:
“The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.”
—Gaston Bachelard (18841962)
