163 restaurant in Runnymede

Great quality food and really nice staff. We had lunch here, it was a little quiet on the Thursday but I’ve seen it very busy on the weekend. Croque Madame was lovely and recommended. Well worth the price. Hope to come here for dinner soon. Thank you

We hired the upstairs room for a family lunch and we would highly recommend Bar163 to others. Not only were the staff lovely the food was plentiful and totally delicious. It was such a bonus for us to book a place where we had the option of the garden or inside space. The room was super spacious and well ventilated and having the small terrace was such a bonus for fresh air but also for space The food was delicious we had mixed kebabs and salads and then kids puddings. We loved the ability to run bar tabs for drinks on the day otherwise all paid up front Well done team we had a lovely afternoon thank you

Celebrated our parents 50th wedding anniversary at Bar 163 today and couldn’t be happier with the attentive service (thank you Freya!), fabulous food and great choice of wine and beers. We had a really lovely time and will definitely come back again soon, this place is gem and definitely worth visiting, more so as it’s a family owned independent restaurant, which makes a lovely change from a high street of chain run franchises.

Best customer service, very proffessional staff. I had a coffe which was so tasty. Thank you for your service

Delicious! Had the pork chop and potatoes which was divine!

Generally very good, food was great.

My childeren absolutely loved it the food was emaculous and the salad was out of this world. Would recommend eating here as there is amazing service.

A quiet meal with Son and his partner. The burgers were great ... And huge.

Came here for brunch and had a very good time. Staff were very attentive and especially Gabriel, was very helpful! Would come back again! 😃

Staff a little indifferent. Food ok, nothing exceptional.

Service was amazing the young ladies were very welcoming and professional. The food 10 out of 10 for the shrimps and the tempura shrimp plus egg benedict all was perfect highly recommended if you are looking for nice atmosphere and good food

Special place. I've been to this place on and off over the years, fitting in treats and special occasions and have always loved it. Popped in today alone for an impromptu lunch and can tell it's been sprinkled with fairy dust. A hidden gem - a special courtyard transports you to a relaxed, continental oasis. Delightful service, gorgeous food. I had the special salad, fries and a glass of crisp rose. In a world where chains dominate the hospitality trade, choose somewhere like bar 163 which is created with love. Thank you! : )

We held our engagement party in the private room upstairs and had a fantastic time. The room was set up perfectly with tasteful candles and flower vases, in a French bistro style, and lets in loads of natural light. The balcony allowed the opportunity for guests to get some fresh air and the view of the rooftops of the surrounding Egham area was really pretty. The little makeshift bar was so cute and the bespoke vegan and vegetarian canapés were delicious - our guests loved them, and absolutely RAVED about the bang bang cauliflower in particular and it meant our guests with allergies and dietary requirements could enjoy without worries. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the process and on the day itself, great communication and support. It was a memorable night and it was the perfect space for our engagement party so thank you so much. We will definitely be looking to book future events with Bar 163 for upcoming occasions. Highly recommend for anyone looking to book an event space, very flexible and accommodating.

Me and my fiancé had a 7:30 book last night you know how it is treat the Mrs on pay day and omg did I treat her the food was the beast we've eaten in over a year easy the girls working there were lovely and the manager isszy is a superstar love them all very much From the food to the wine to the atmosphere this place is a 5star

Great atmosphere very niche friendly staff will go back

Great food lovely garden friendly service

Not been to Bar 163 for a few years due to previous poor service and food, but we were interested in trying the new menu in a venue we love. On entering we were told the garden wasn't open, even though a sign at the front said it was. When looking at the menu, it was almost exactly the same as the one we had seen, years before. We were told the new menu actually hadn't been implemented yet, even though it was advertised outside. We ordered food asking that there was no coriander in any of the dishes as neither of us can eat it. It makes us sick. We asked and were told, after the waitress went to the kitchen, that there was no coriander in anything. I ordered crispy chicken as a main, other half ordered kofta. When they arrived, the kofta had coriander in the salad! We asked another member of staff and she said there was no coriander in the dish, she went to check, and said there was no coriander in the kitchen. There was coriander in the dish. Also the "crispy" chicken was actually burnt. We left. We paid the bill, after the same member of staff repeating again there was no coriander in the dish and apologising for the burnt chicken. We got pizzas in Waitrose and had them at home. So much for date night. Won't be going back again.

A mesmerizing aura to the place overcomes you as soon as you enter. It has a homely vibe to it. Nestled neatly opposite the red lion, the serene environment was calming and refreshing. We had drinks beside olive bonsai and a lush terrace. There is a large sea food selection to choose from. A lovely place to unwind and relax with home cooked genuine food . It could become my favourite place to visit.

We went to 163 for a 40th birthday meal. The food was great, the staff were really attentive and friendly and the food was well priced. Would definitely go back if I was in the area again.

Friendly atmosphere, varied menu choic3s, good quality food. Catered for our Frenchie.

Lovely atmosphere, staff were so warm and welcoming. Food was delicious, nice to eat out but still find healthy, balanced meals.

Best Coffees in Egham with lovely complimentary biscuit. 😊

Excellent restaurant can not fault it. I understand it’s under management/ ownership and some very positive changes have taken place . The place in Egham to have superb food , service and enjoyment.

We went here for Mothers Day. The food was great - except the pork chop . The way the feedback and the return of the pork chop was handled was exceptionally poor . The sauce was burnt but yet the blonde lady in charge I presume and the chef refused to accept this . We couldn’t eat it so returned it and ordered a ribeye instead . The pork chop appeared on our bill and when we questioned this we had to have an argument and it was finally removed as we refused to pay it . No apology and no hospitality from this lady at all . Poor .

Have eaten here several times over many years. Food was good, service average (somewhat slow) and decor a little shabby. More atmosphere of an evening. Handy for lunch when shopping in Egham.

I've been here for a drink and nibbles on two occasions. The staff are welcoming and the menu looks great. It has a lovely garden area to sit in. We were impressed by the selection of belgian beers. Most recently I had the cheeseboard and a glass of wine but I am looking forward to visiting again for a meal.

Really nice place saff very helpful and polite

Being to this place few times before and really liked the food and the selection of drinks. The last couple of times since their manager is in it’s impossible to get a table because ‘they are so busy’. Reality is they have few tables taken and the restaurant is empty otherwise. Don’t waste your time and energy, there are so many other great options in Egham

Food was very good service was exemplary.

Love coming in here, food was absolutely delicious, manager is lovely and friendly and she always has time for a chat. Waitress was great, very friendly and polite. ❤️

My red Thai chicken curry was good and the restaurant looked lovely. Service was good. I’d certainly come back.

Great meal, service was brilliant handled my allergies very well and made alterations to my meal without question. Will definitely be back

I had the pleasure to celebrate my 50th birthday at the Venue BAR 163, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way . From the beginning to the end of the organisation, Gilles the owner has been absolutely amazing . Always happy to help and met all my needs and requirements to the letter and even more . The team at BAR 163 is amazing , professional and friendly . The standards are outstanding and the customer service provided is above and beyond my expectations , flawless and highly recommended. The waitress in charge of the party , SORIA , was extremely helpful, dedicated and professional. LIZZY AND the rest of the Team , we’re also outstanding. I would like to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for your amazing work and for making my birthday the best ever party of my life . This little gem in Egham is to be visited, not only for its quirky building, but the amazing food and products selections , from fresh home made bread to a cellar selection from Belgium beers to a variety of wines and spirits . The buffet catered for the event was outstanding and entirely bespoke , delicious and very very generous in portion . the canapes served for the welcome drinks were very pretty delicious and so impressive . The dessert was also very good . Honestly , well done to all , and huge thank you to Gilles . I cannot wait to return again and again and probably for a very long time. kindest Regards , julien Mackenzie Rapin

Do you want to celebrate a birthday, a special event… ? Gilles & his team will make sure you will have an amazing evening, all home made ( even the bread!) with a huge selection of drinks ( especially the excellent selection of Belgium beers!) last night we were there for our friend 50th birthday party. Merci Gilles et toute ton équipe - we will be back! Ps Kriek de Boon est effectivement excellente

My daughters wedding reception. Small and intimate, lovely relaxed afternoon and evening. With good food and wine shared with dear friends

Just back from a family dinner for a family of 5 at Bar 163, and absolutely delighted at the wonderful evening we had. Last frequented Bar 163 prior to Covid and although it was nice, it wasn't especially memorable. Tonight was a complete contrast, the decor was inviting, lighting was subtle and gave a warming ambience, which was very welcome on a night of a torrential downpour! I understand that it has a new owner, and it really shows. We were with our parents in their 70''s, and our 3 year old son, and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Food was exceptional, the pork belly especially, which had a thick and perfectly crispy crackling, paired with a lovely bottle of Argentinian Malbec (less than £40). Sensational Affogato to follow. Lovely restaurant, surprisingly large as it transpires, with plenty of seating, including an outside seating area, pavement tables (continental Europe anyone?) plus an upstairs room and balcony. Despite the capacity, it still somehow managed to feel intimate and we had a lovely evening. Staff were amazing, food was exceptional and the building itself is quite charming actually. Well worth the short drive from Windsor and we will definitely visit again soon!

Had a great lunch today - was impressed with the food and service was great. Thank you.

Amazing food and very attentive staff - lovely little treasure on Egham high street! Can’t wait to go back and try out the rest of the menu !

Honestly, if you're looking for a relaxed and memorable dining spot, this is it! Had an amazing time at Bar 163 for an early Saturday dinner with the girls. The hidden garden at the back is lovely! We started with Walnut and Goats Cheese salad and Salmon Gravilax (daily special), followed by chicken Caesar salad and mussels in white wine sauce. A bottle of wine rounded off the perfect meal. The staff was friendly, and the place feels much improved under new management. Highly recommend!

First visit, food was lovely and good vibe to the place. We'll defo go back.

I’ve been coming here for 30 years. Just love it

Exceptionaly nice restaurant in Egham, fabulous food and really lovely service. Best chocolate fondant for miles.

Excellent service, excellent food, great staff

First time at Bar163 since about 1995 (I moved away rather than that I’ve been avoiding the place!). Food was excellent and it seemed to have the same vibe as when I used to go a LOT. I was told it was under new management but I’m sure I saw the original owner trimming one of the plants outside!

First breakfast came out with overcooked, scrambled eggs on a cold plate with a thumbnail of hashbrowns. Second plate came out with undercooked, scrambled egg, still on the cold plate no hashbrowns.

Cannot praise the staff at Bar 163 enough! They looked after us so well when we popped in for a birthday brunch, spoiling the birthday girl and the awkward vegan! The outdoor area was a delight for the sunny warm weather and the food was delicious but it's the customer service that we will be back for. Thanks so much for looking after us!

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and a friendly welcome. Great to have several vegan choices. Beautiful courtyard garden for drinks and dining at the back of the restaurant and a room for parties upstairs.

Great find for a lovely local lunch, will be back for sure

I've always loved Bar 163 but after a disappointing meal last year we haven't been for a while, but having heard they had a new chef we thought we'd give it a go, and i'm glad we did! Really good menu, the food was delicious and staff were very friendly and attentive. Looking forward to going back and trying some more of the new dishes on the menu!

Very lovely place with amazing food, however it was a bit pricey but i guess you get what you pay for

Great food, good value for money. Excellent service, such a shame it was so quiet on a Friday night - highly recommend

Amazing food at a reasonable price, great service, lovely atmosphere. Food was perfectly cooked with some delicious flavours. Would recommend to any couples or work christmas parties.

Lovely little spot for a croque madame.

I have been coming to this resarunt for a while now. The food is yummy. The buger was delicious, and the chips were amazing, crispy on the outside, and fluffy in the inside

Would highly recommend for breakfast and brunch lovers. You will lick your plate clean like we did.

Good place to eat, great staff!

Only had coffee and cake. Cake was a little dry for my taste

Lovely place. Great owners touch.

Cold (should have been hot) starter and the chicken parmigiana was raw inside!!! Luckily evening was saved by good manager who deducted both from our bill. Always very hit n miss in there but raw chicken for a main now means it'll be a last resort unless I'm just having a drink there.

Understaffed when we went. We were a large table., had ordered beforehand but it didn't make service quicker. Food was good and staff were sympathetic.

Popped in for a coffee mid afternoon. To be fair it was made lunch evening service so place was empty. Good coffee and friendly staff, setting up for the evening.

Absolutely gorgeous experience! Hosting a friends birthday in the room upstairs, couldn't have asked for better service. The staff here are so hospitable and welcoming, couldn't think of a better place to spend the evening in Egham whether for dinner or an event! - beautiful venue with amazing service 10/10 recommend

Nice quirky place for some very good food. Friendly staff and good service. It has a very comfortable atmosphere. A great place for a proper meal in Egham.

Came here for a paid work dinner, not out of choice; however, a great choice chosen by my company. The staff were absolutely amazing. Efficient, happy-to-help, etc... Hopefully your management team see this as you guys deserve some credit, l swordfish and it was very appetising!

Delicious food, very friendly staff and great service, would definitely recommend.

I went here with my father and daughter while on a weekend trip visiting my daughter who is a student at Royal Holloway. We were lucky to get a table as it was a busy Friday night and they were short-staffed and told us that we would have a long wait for our food, although the wait didn't actually seem that long. The food was EXCELLENT!!! Each one of us really enjoyed the meal we got and everything was delicious. Can definitely recommend this restaurant! Booking a table is maybe a good idea for a Friday evening as they are deservedly popular. Friendly and efficient wait staff and an excellent chef!

Fun Bistro for midweek meal. Staff are very friendly. The atmosphere was cozy and warm. Interesting menu with some big winners. Try the Harissa Cauliflower and the Gnocchi. The wings were interesting but too rich to eat all on your own so a very good group share.

A calming place for a coffee of a bite to eat.

I really had a terrible experience and waited an hour for a small salad. I found the staff to be inattentive and I wished I'd had lunch at home.

Lovely brunch in the back garden.

My elderly mum and her friend visited on Saturday,the food was not good but being elderly they didn't complain untill leaving and were greeted by a couldn't care less attitude,I was very disappointed when she told me this today. They definitely won't be paying this place another visit and if could have given no stars I would have,maybe some customer service training needs giving to staff members.

Dog friendly. Lovely atmosphere. Great staff. Lovely food and drinks.

Came here for a breakfast. We were handled really well by staff members however as they were understaffed they forgot out breakfast order. Food was slightly burnt however they rectified all our issues well.

Really warm welcome, great food . . . and we were even given some of the new menu for us to try (which was equally delicious!) Be warned though - the portion size of the tiramisu is epic . . . you only need one between two! The peach and raspberry pavlova is absolutely divine. Really engaged staff who knew the menu really well. Thank you so much for a lovely night Bar 136!

A lovely independent bistro in Egham with relaxed atmospheric setting. Booked a company Group Dinner catering for 12 diners with varied needs and what can I say. They delivered fabulous starters and mains plus excellent service with small team tonight. Definitely a must go to place if staying nearby

Great food. Had the lunch menu and went with the sardines special which was excellent

Amazing but on Saturday if you find breakfast

A must-visit here in Egham. We were so glad we visited. Delicious flavours, pleasant service and ambience. Locals coming in just for a coffee after grocery shopping were warmly welcomed, and the pricing is reasonable. Would love to try their desserts next time.

Great atmosphere and breakfast was on point :)

Went for lunch yesterday. Fabulous food, excellent service, competitively priced and very dog friendly. Will be going back very soon.

Nice place, probably the best in the area (which isnt saying much/j) but nuce staff good food. It get an additional star for its creative name

A very popular place locally. Warm atmosphere, friendly service.

Stopped for a beer and some snacks while walking, friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Wow wow wow!!! This place is the best. How the front of house greet you and make you feel welcome to the decor and espxially the food!! Wow! Dave and Luke produce some of the best food ive ever had. Im an executive chef and took my boss and head of hospitality of my work and they were both blown away.

There's always a lovely atmosphere in here and great service, not to mention fantastic food! Everything was delicious and you can see how much care and attention goes into each dish. The chicken and chorizo terrine and stuffed breast of Guinea fowl were really special. A great place to treat yourself!

Perfect roast for mothers day, amazing food, friendly service, restaurant was welcoming and stylish!

Lovely coffee stop for a morning meeting. Encouraged to enjoy the sunshine outside in the garden area by the very helpful staff. Will be back again, to give the food a try.

Food was incredible and the staff were so friendly!! Amazing place to chill and eat with good company.

Always loved coming here when I lived in Egham, food has been good for at least 30 years! Last time I was here was 3 years ago for breakfast and I've been thinking about the mushrooms ever since. Nicest mushrooms I've ever had, anywhere. I've no idea how they cooked them but OMG. The croque Madame I had was also very tasty. Can't wait to go back!

Really lovely lunch! Very good food and excellent service

Amazing Sunday roast, went for the trio and did not regret it! If anything, the cauliflower cheese could be cheesier...just saying :-)

My family and I went for Sunday lunch. Food was excellent, particularly the vegetarian chesnut loaf. Great atmosphere. Seven completely empty plates. Would highly recommend.

Went for a birthday celebration last night and to say we left disappointed is an understatement. The starters arrived promptly and were delicious, and we felt like we were in for a great evening. But then the wheels fell off. Our mains arrived an hour after we sat down, and, again were lovely but we then sat in front of our empty plates for over 50 minutes. (I took a photo of my meal when it arrived, which was time stamped) My partner ordered a drink when our mains were presented, which never arrived and had I not asked for the bill, I think we’d have sat there with our dirty plates much longer. The three waitresses simply couldn’t keep up with the number of diners that had been seated. We didn’t complain to them because we know full well it wasn’t their fault. Having a son who has also worked in a grossly understaffed restaurant, it’s not fair on the servers who are doing their best on minimum wage to allow that many diners sit down. We’d intended to have coffees, liqueurs and dessert but instead, over 2 hours and only 2 courses later, we went to The Crown and finished our evening there. We’d chosen Bar163 on the basis of the chef, and whilst the food he’d produced was lovely, the service (or lack thereof) ruined our experience. It’s such a shame as we won’t return to the restaurant and certainly won’t recommend it to anyone.

I went to a fantastic birthday dinner here the other week, and I must say the whole experience was impeccable. The food is very high quality, both in terms of its presentation and taste, and the service provided by staff is always warm and welcoming. Brunch is also a wonderful experience, offering a continental menu at a very reasonable price. I’d you have to choose one place in Egham to eat at, you can’t do better than here

Enjoyed a really great brunch, with a very good coffee... Lovely feel to the restaurant, and the team working here were friendly and professional, and made me feel very welcome!

We booked for our Christmas lunch. Food was lovely. Staff friendly and even changed our table as we were very cramped on the first one. We preordered which ment quicker service. I would eat there again only downside is no parking at the restaurant so had to park at tesco carpark and walk thru the allyway to the high street.

Lovely ...staff amazing and food really tasty...was made to feel very welcome

OMG! I chose Bar 163 for our Christmas bash and was not disappointed. Every single one of us from Nevin & Wells said it was the best food we had ever had and the presentation was amazing as well as the service. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Always great meal and staff. Very friendly for the south.

Reliably good friendly service..the best place to eat or drink in Egham...imo
