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. A typical menu was of the form:
The chain quickly expanded, first throughout Bristol and then the rest of the country. Unlike other restaurants, they did not do their own butchery but brought in steaks already prepared. The chain was sold to Grand Metropolitan for £14.5m in 1970 and then sold to Whitbread in 1995. Over the following years, British tastes had changed due to foreign travel, and by the late 1990s the chain started losing money. Whitbread announced the closure of the chain, by converting many of the former premises into other Whitbread owned brands, including the steak-orientated Beefeater or more generalised pub-oriented Brewers Fayre.[citation needed]
