Now thats retro!
I have a love for anything retro and I can't think of anything more retro (at the minute) than Berni Inn. It was started in 1955 by Welsh/Italian brothers Frank & Aldo Berni and by the 1970's and 80's they got pretty popular. It was considered 'posh' to go to them.
A typical menu included a prawn cocktail starter with either steak, gammon or plaice with chips and peas for the main course. Dessert could be black forest gateau or Irish coffee and a few After Eight mints left at the side of your plate. The whiff of Steak and Lager/Lime was alwalys wafting around the mock tudor beams and all in all it was rather ace as we would say back then.
Sadly Berni Inns were sold to Whitbread in 1995 before they vanished forever. *sad face*
