Found lots of these locally this last couple of weeks.
I understand that young shoots of the plant are edible, but are very bitter. (used as an asparagus substitute). The berries are not edible.
Regards

Apparently Black Bryony is our only native representative of the yam family, and White Bryony the only representative of the marrow family.
I've tried scattering the berries of Black Bryony in the hedge at the bottom of our garden a couple of years ago, but none have germinated.

black bryony goes from green to red berries. its quite weird because of its greeny white flower.! | | |
