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:
“I have had the accomplishment of something like this at heart ever since I was a boy.... So I feel tonight like the man who is lodging happily in the inn which lies half way along the journey and that in time, with a fresh impulse, we shall go the rest of the journey and sleep at the journey’s end like men with a quiet conscience.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
