Did anyone ever go to a Berni Inn or a Quality Inn restaurant as a treat... I can remember going to these when we visited Oxford Street. I remember my mum having a "Special" Berni Inn Irish Coffee....

Re: Berni Inn
I remember Berni Inns starting about 1961 or 62 - fantastic. I tend to think nowadays I can never find a steak as good as in a Berni, but I guess that's fond memories.
I think chinese restaurants started at the same time, they did in Cambridge anyway - you got a quarter chicken and (shoestring) chips for 4/6d. A half Chicken was 10 bob. All of a sudden we could afford to eat out.

Re: Berni Inn
Dear Karen (another one!)
I most certainly do remember Berni Inns; I even worked at one in Gerrard's Cross in Bucks. during the school holidays, preparing the prawn cocktails! Going for a Berni Inn meal in the early 70's was a treat! They did produce a pretty good steak with chips, mushrooms and tomatoes (fillet or rump if I remember correctly). Also on the menu was dover sole; which believe me was quite posh back then! There was also one we went to at the Crooked Billet in Staines (on the roundabout) which had a tree growing through the middle of the restaurant, which fascinated me no end (or am I confusing that one with another Berni, 'cos we visited quite a few! ;-) Happy days!
