Most recently remembered as a Berni Inn on Boar Lane, where the sophisticates of the 1970s could feast on prawn cocktail, followed by steak, chips and peas, rounded off (if you had room!) by a portion of black forest gateaux with cream - the whole washed down with a bottle of Mateus Rose – the height of sophistication!
The original café was opened in 1906 by Anthony and Francis Jacomelli, and was originally called Jacomelli’s Swiss Restaurant and Café. They were taken over by Hagenbachs in 1949, and became a Berni Inn in 1967. The building we see here was demolished in 1973 to make way for the building of the Bond Street Centre.
