Bar 163 in Runnymede

Good food and good service. Izzy the manager was wonderful and the serving staff fantastic. The chef sent out fabulous food. A great treat!

Best breakfast in Egham! Fantastic young Scottish waiter who made the whole experience one to remember. The food and service were exceptional. He even brought a cake with a candle to the table as he overheard us talking about someone having a birthday. We had to admit it was the dog, but what a lovely touch! Really enjoyable morning.

Very nice place with friendly and smiling staff. Dog friendly restaurant. The atmosphere is great. The food is very nice and well presented. I can't wait to go back.

I regularly visit Bar163 as the food is to a very high standard and the girls (and boys) are always friendly and helpful. It is a really good place to go for coffee and cake, a drink, snack or meal. When I went there last week they had a Special - Beef Short Rib with bacon, leek potato mash, small silverskin onions and bourguignon sauce. The meat just fell off the bone and all the flavours went really well together. If there is no Special available, there is a lot of choice on their Menu which was complemented by a Summer Menu. I believe that this will be replaced by an Autumn Menu. They bake fresh bread on their premises every day and the difference between their bread and bread purchased from a supermarket is like day and night. They also bake cakes, cookies and other sweet treats. Their upstairs function room is available for large or small gatherings and there is no charge for the room.

Lovely spot, food very good and a “family run” feel. Only complaint was sticky table but everything else spot on. Will be back!

Popped in for dinner and wasn’t disappointed. Had the pork chop and potatoes which was delicious! Staff friendly and attentive

Lovely evening out. Food was amazing - can thoroughly recommend the chilli and garlic prawns. Service was great - friendly but efficient.

Great breakfast, lots of choice. Had complimentary pastries from the chef. The atmosphere was very chilled, the staff very polite and we weren’t rushed.

Consistently good food and service. The decor is understated French bistro style, warm and inviting and, when it's not raining, there ism a lovely Mediterranean type garden to sit in. I've been coming here for over 30 years and never had a bad meal.

Stunning food, great menu choice for vegetarians too. Lovely ambience and fabulous service. Love this place and nice to go somewhere that isn’t a chain.

Great food with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. My husband took me to Bar 163 for a birthday brunch. I had the French toast and a mimosa. He had the eggs Benedict and a Bloody Mary. Everything was delicious. Love it. We will be returning for more.

I regularly visit Bar 163 and am always pleased with the food and service. I have been meaning to write a review for a few weeks now about their Beetroot Salmon Gravalax which is delicious but I am glad that I didn’t get round to it. I spotted the Lamb Stew with silver onions, carrots and Daphonaise potatoes on the menu which I ordered last Saturday. Gilles has elevated the humble Lamb Stew to a different level. The meat was very tender and the flavours amazing.

Food always great! Never disappoints. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Great value for money too! Will be back soon. 😀

Amazing veg burger but lots of vegetarian options. Lovely tasting cocktails. Such amazing dessert, lovely service by isszy

Lovely scallops and pleasant service. Nice little brasserie in the middle of Egham High Street. Friendly sociable atmosphere

Frist time we had visited Bar 163 What a fantastic experience Excellent fresh food, cooked to a very high standard Excellent service throughout the evening It's so nice to have freshly prepared food, serviced by Happy Friendly Staff, will definitely return again when back in London, especially looking forward to going into the outdoor garden area

We went there for Mother’s Day - a table of six . I will say everything was great except the pork chop and the way the situation with the pork chop was handled is the reason for the poor rating . The chop comes with a caramelised sauce - this was for my son and when my husband went to taste the sauce as it was very dark , it had a bitter after taste - a taste of having been burnt. We asked for this to be replaced as it was inedible and replaced it with a ribeye . A blonde lady (presume she was in charge ) came to our table to say that there was nothing wrong with the sauce and that it was caramelised. I was tempted to say something but being Mother’s Day didn’t want to get into an argument and presumed it would be taken off our bill as it has been retuned . Upon receiving the bill we had been charged for this returned item and had to have a discussion with this lady once to say that it had a bitter taste and was burnt and had been returned. Along with having to explain that we knew the difference between a caramelised sauce and a burnt sauce having worked in the industry myself for 36 years , she went on to say that the chef didn’t agree but she would speak to him . This was taken off the bill but no apology and no customer service at all from this lady. Having worked in luxury hotels with celebrity chef restaurants for many years I felt the handling of the situation was poor as was her entire attitude . We spent £350 there and had it not been for her poor manner of dealing with this issue this review would have been very different .

I’ve used Bar 163 a lot over the years. More recently I’ve been coming solo and before a trip to Everyman cinema. I’ve had the red Thai curry on the last three occasions I’ve been there and it used to be lovely. But something went wrong last night. We were a group of four and intended to have starters, mains, a drink and then off to the cinema. My warm goats cheese salad to start was really nice. I didn’t even look at the mains because I knew the Thai red curry was what I wanted. When it arrived it looked like a casserole with dried out rice on the side. There was no hint of coconut milk, no spicy heat and no element sweetness. It was slimy, quite unpleasant and the rice tasted warmed up. I never return food, but I did last night. The waitress was apologetic and offered to get me another, but I really didn’t trust the chef to get it right. So I had nothing. I wasn’t charged, but I really felt that the manager or whoever was in charge should have come over and apologised. I would have done so, had I been in charge. They didn’t and I won’t be going back again. It’s a shame.

I’ve visited twice recently and couldn’t find fault with either occasion. The food is excellent both in taste and presentation. I went for the lamb stew which was amazing, everyone in the g. Nice selection of Belgian beers to try. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, despite there being a very large group in the upstairs room there was no drop off in service for the rest of the diners. It was definitely worth the journey from East London and I’ll be retuning again soon hopefully.

Yet another lovely evening here tonight, waiter/waitress were great as usual, always happy, chatty and genuinely seemed to love their jobs. Manageress as always helpful, friendly and extremely accommodating. Soup starter was delicious, my main, of which I’ve ordered before was a little too spicy for me tonight, goats cheese salad, told the waiter when asked and the next thing the manageress came over and informed us she had taken my starter off the bill! Told her we were happy to pay and she didn’t need to do that but she insisted, this was after she offered us both a pudding on the house! (Unfortunately too full up to have a pudding though!!) Thank you. Really love this restaurant, our little local gem. Thank you to all the staff and see you next week!!

Our family dinner was excellent. The staff were very attentive and we were well looked after. The food was tremendous. I couldn’t fault a thing.

We had a private function here for a surprise 60th birthday. There was a small mishap wi the a double booking however the staff were very accommodating and shut the rest of the restaurant for the afternoon so we could have the function we desired. The staff were super attentive and very helpful throughout the day. Food was pre-chosen prior to the event due to the amount of people however we were able to choose from a variety of menus and mix and match so everyone was catered for. The meals were delicious all came out promptly and the children’s meals the matched. They even had plastic crockery and cutlery for the children which was a big hit. We all had a great time and hopefully will be back for our next celebration! Only downside is that the toilets are up quiet steep steps so for anyone that has difficulty with mobility may struggle with this.

Surprise 60th. Staff great, food lovely Nothing a problem. Thank you all for making the start of my birthday celebrations amazing 🎊🥂 xxx

The restaurant looked lovely inside. I loved the real fire and the the Christmas tree. It was very sweet. Just one comment before I go any further. I have to avoid gluten and they had a great range of conventional beers. I miss real beer (not larger) and it would be really nice to have a couple of GF beers on offer. As it was, I had to stick with boring old Magners. So, my main course was red Thai chicken curry and it was very nice. I wasn’t that keen on the sauce that came with my BBQ ribs starter, but that’s probably me. I’m not a big fan of ribs and I ordered them because almost all the other starters had a wheat component. Service was excellent, my ciders were nice and cold and the coffee was very good. I came to Bar 163 before a trip to the Everyman cinema, just around the corner. I’m very glad I did rather than grabbing something in the cinema. It’s the ideal place to eat if you are treating yourself to some posh flicks. I’ll happily come back.

Excellent menu. Well presented food with friendly service. Nice atmosphere would not hesitate to recommend. Have been attending this restaurant for many years and the food has always of a high standard

They need to hire new bouncers that ignore table reservations and shout in every young adults face when entering for no reason. Bad mouthed pricks. Make the atmosphere terrible for everyone who visits. Shocking, they hire Charlie the main bouncer to shout at lairs gypsies not at random people who have food on their table inside. This bouncer screamed in my face I went inside for half an hour. Went out for a cig. As I’m going back in he’s trying to tell me it is fully booked wouldn’t even listen to me whilst my food had arrived at my table and was going cold. They made the best set up on the high street gaining all the customers of the young adults in the area from the Stag and will ultimately lose them to the head bouncer who is realistically just a nonce who will let any girl in

I visited this restaurant with my friends for breakfast on last Saturday so the experience is still fresh. We had a reservation which was great because the staff couldn’t have offered us a table otherwise, the place was full. We had a really friendly and easy-going service nothing seemed like a trouble. Food was a bit average for me. Ambience was enjoyable and lively. It’s completely Covid safety. You can have a decent meal here before you go on a circular adventure outdoor walk in Runnymede.

Quick stop for a coffee and a light lunch. Food and service was excellent and prompt . Staff very polite . And tap water was brought when we asked for it (quite rare to happen these days)

My granddaughter and I enjoyed our meal and we were spoilt for choice with the menu. We will need to come again and try some more interesting dishes.

Another great visit to Bar 1. The food is always wonderful and tasty, the atmosphere, considering current conditions, was not too bad once there were a few tables occupied and music was on. The staff are always so helpful and friendly. Love this place!

So happy these guys have opened their doors again. Really cozy relaxed atmosphere, Izzy made us feel very welcome. Varied tasty menu. Already booked another visit.

Great evening out and lovely food

Lovely food clean and welcoming staff very friendly

I have enjoyed my visits to 163 recently particularly for the delicious burgerbut today I had to wait nearly 40 minutes and I was the only diner in there around 5pm with 2 or 3 people enjoying a drink at other tables.My food eventually arrived but sadly my burger was raw (usually pink I know)but this was underdone and served with frozen chips which were hardunlike the sauteed potatoes which I enjoy.Hate to be a 'moaner'!

I booked a meal for February 14th via their online booking system, unfortunately the system didn't specify the time I had chosen so they contacted me the following day to confirm. I replied to their email but when I heard nothing further I rang to speak to the restaurant direct and they confirmed my booking. When we arrived the restaurant was full and we were seated next to a roaring fire. I explained I would be unable to eat as it was far too hot so they very kindly moved us. As it was very busy this was above and beyond.It was a set menu and the starter of chili prawns was ok but my main course of steak and chips was absolutely fabulous. My partner had the chicken dish and that also was very good. I had wonderful cocktails so the evening was a success and we would recommend the restaurant and return.The only downside was being sat next to Bobby Davis and his date, he is the same as on the TV. And doesn't seem to come with and off switch!

Arrived about 9.30 hrs for breakfast, a few tables occupied but certainly not busy. After about ten minutes I went to the bar and a few minutes later I was eventually acknowledged and I requested a menu and asked if I could order two coffees. The waitress eventually visited our table and took the coffee order but no mention of our food order. After a further ten minutes and without any sign of our coffee we gave up and left the restaurant. On our way out I requested that our order for coffee was cancelled due to the long wait " sorry but I am on my own " was the response.I would suggest that Bar 163 close their breakfast service until they are fully staffed, unprofessional, unacceptable.

I go to Bar 163 every few weeks and enjoy an hour and a half there while my dog gets his hair cut. The music is good, the Peroni perfect and the service is friendyl. I enjoyed a very pleasant beef bourguignon today. It's really nice to have somewhere to eat that is not part of a large chain.

We went for a pre Christmas dinner, ordered a bottle of Malbec, was brought a completely different one to that on the menu...the excuse from the staff was it's a printing error on the menu,it was nothing similar to what's on the menu.then we ordered the other Malbec 2015, when that arrived it was 2016 ! Guess they weren't happy with us pointing this out, service was very poor, Dessert menu thrown on the table no explanation as to what it was. Definitely won't be going back

Sadly booked a meal for a date night and they showed the boxing. Not really a good night full of lads out for a good night. Had we been told they were going to show the boxing I wouldn’t have booked

Such a lovely relaxing lunch with friends. Had a tapas dish such good value and very tasty. Great service and atmosphere.

Regularly pop into Bar 163 for a decent cup of coffee (loads of places in Egham) but this time had lunch. Not the cheapest, but simple dishes well prepared, and as usual service with a smile. Shame they've discontinued sweet potato fries for some reason.

We were invited to the function room upstairs and the decor, ambience and general feel is extremely inviting. Staff were generally polite and efficient.However, the food was uninspiring, stodgy and bland. Food presentation was extremely poor & uninviting.For the same price you can indulge in fine cuisine at the 4 * Runnymede Hotel a few minutes drive away.Overall : very poor food quality , would not recommend and would not return.Avoid Bar 163 and spend your hard earned cash on a decent meal elsewhere.

Food was ok, nothing special. Unfortunately ran out of sausage & mash, burgers, mushrooms and fresh orange julie. Service was ok again nothing to hype about. Been once wouldn’t really make the effort to go again. Very tight with the eay that the restaurant is laid out.

Sausages under cooked, porridge was not cooked at all. someone was cleaning the fire out as we was trying to eat our breakfast which I think is very unacceptable Toilets sink was block staff was very unapproachable! overall a very bad experience we will not be going back.

I came here with a friend for somewhere quiet to catch up on old times and family. We were talking a lot and the waitress came back to take our order. It was unhurried and casual, cosy, warm and an ambient atmosphere. I will definitely be back with family. Great staff, very professional and happy!!

I have been very remiss in not posting any reviews of this restaurant, despite being an infrequent user over 20+ years: my visits in the summer with a business client based in Egham were a delight and we both enjoyed using the garden area and sampling different bites on each visit.

Good food and good value as we took advantage of the 50% off offer, if it wasn't for the offer then the food is overpriced. Excellent service at just the right pace. Looking forward to visiting again.

We visited for breakfast and both had a nice meal. However I was disappointed with the lack of vegetarian options on the breakfast menu. I'm sure they would remove meat from some of the options but it would be nice to have a few more specifically made vegetarian choices. Despite this the food was still good and the staff were friendly.

We were delighted to be hosted by Mimmo and his team tonight in a private room at Bar 163. A group of 19 - and 16 nationalities (including German, Kenyan, Ghanaian, Indian, Pakistani, English, and Scottish) - we were made to feel very welcome and all enjoyed excellent food and a very relaxed and accommodating service.

My car was being washed so I popped in here for breakfast. Hadn’t been in years. It’s a nice room and the welcome was excellent. Smashed avo, poached eggs and salsa on Italian toasted bread was fantastic. With mint tea - great start to the day. About £12 with tip. Will be returning!

I went in Bar 163 for a light lunch with a work colleague and had the tomato soup. In all my many years I’ve never tasted a better tomato soup - it was fantastic. My colleague had a sandwich which was good too. Service was great and prices reasonable. Highly recommended.

I've eaten here on a number of occasions & never had cause to grumble. My most recent visit was for breakfast, where I ordered a very nicely done Full English type spread & my wife had some fantastic French Toast. It cost a bit more than other breakfasts might but was worth the extra, esp given the facility to sit outside in the rear garden. One thing I would like to do is eat dinner in the garden late one evening, to see how pretty the lighting is - I could tell even eating breakfast out there that it must make for a cosy setting in the dark.

Lovely food, GREAT coffee and fabulous service. If I could award more than 5 stars I would without hestiation!

I used to live in Egham and Bar 163 was our favourite place to go - that was around 20 years ago. Met my friend their for lunch this week and was so delighted that the standard of food hadn't dropped - if anything it was better. The staff were excellent. Still the same quirky decor and vibe in there which I love. Well done, Bar 163 - I will be back very soon!!

I was staying at the Runnymede hotel and came here for a decent coffee!! :) Ended up eating breakfast here too as far better value and much much nicer than the hotel buffet. I will visit again as does lunch and dinner too. Lovely little place.

We dropped in here for a bite to eat and it was a nice restaurant. We ventured indespite fact they were advertising for a chef.

From the outside it just looks like a little cafe but it’s actually a large restaurant with an upstairs and a lovely garden! Went there for lunch which was delicious on all accounts. The service was especially great, really friendly waitress that made us feel happy and welcome! It’s a pretty place to have a meal!

My family and I had the best meal at Bar 163 in Egham on the day of my graduation. I recently graduated from Royal Holloway University and had previously been here to eat on my 21st birthday which was again another unforgettable experience and meal rolled into one. The service was so attentive and the staff were all so lovely!! The food was delicious and the drinks went down a treat! I cannot thank the staff enough for making my graduation celebration meal such an special occasion for my family and I!! I didn’t get to take lots of photos during the meal as we were all having so much fun, but I did manage to get a snap of the raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake which is to die for!!! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Egham or currently living there or close by!

I have been coming to 163 for years and can honestly say i have never had a bad meal or experienced bad service there. There is so much variety on the menu and everything tastes top class.

Great Sunday brunch to celebrate a big birthday in the function room. Lovely food and good attentive se4vicev

Very friendly welcome. Coffee very nice and when I asked for a muffin they brought it out warmed which was really nice, and also unusual. Usually they are just plonked on a plate. Nice location in the centre of the town. Recommended for refreshments.

I have seen scampî s on another table and there were big so I ordered the same. The guy came with small ones. I told him why small when I have seen big on another table. The guy said we put more when they are small. I told him I want big because they taste better and than he started to argue. My friend had spare ribs that were full of ketchup. Really nothing special there and no wonder the place was empty with 5 clients where it was a 40 people place...

Mon-Friday early birds get a 50% discount and I can see why.... restaurant was virtually empty, food very expensive for what is was so 50% discount actually brought it down to the value it probably should have been.... not very tasty meal. Not much choice for wine by the glass. Last time I came I had tapas, now that was nice !.

I booked a table with you a few weeks back for 3 people on 22/06/2019 it was for my friends birthday. Our Plan was to come to Bar 1 for a meal and then venture onto Club 1 for more drinks and dancing. At The time of the booking I was unaware that it was Ascot Races. On route to the restaurant there was heavy traffic so I rang the restaurant to explain our booking was at 8:00 but we would be delayed by 30 mins. I was told it was fine get here when you can. We arrived at Bar1 and we were greeted by a waitress who questioned me several times about my booking and when I booked which unnerved me slightly and I actually found very unprofessional as she was extremely negative. I could see a table laid up for 3 I pointed out the table she then asked me again about my booking. I explained that I emailed ages ago didn't hear so I went to bar 1 website and it tells you to book through Open Table which I did I had a confirmation email so was happy that my reservation was confirmed. She then told me you had lots of problems with open table. I politely pointed out that really wasn't my concern. She eventually sat down and gave us a set menu .....This confused me as I had viewed the menu online and it stated nothing about a set menu or in fact about early closure due to Ascot races. The waitress then came back and declared that everything would be shutting down at 10pm by this point it was now 9:00pm. It became very clear we could not stay I was not prepared to pay £30 for a meal that I would have to eat within the hour and leave. I was so disappointed I had planned the whole evening for my friend so she could relax and enjoy her birthday. It also proved to be a very costly evening as we had paid £38.00 to get a Taxi there to have to abandon our night with no food and left stranded in Ascot. By this point it ws too late to get food and we ended up having to return home. We should of been contacted in advance to be told about ascot and the changes that would affect us.

Went to this place on a Friday night, we had a very friendly welcome and we were sat at a table. Food was all great... and very tasty. Had to call the staff over a couple of times in order to get more drinks but that wasn't a big deal. We would definitely return.

Love coming to this restaurant; but today the service was severely lacking. No one came to check if we were actually enjoying our meal. We had all finished our drinks when the meal arrived; and no one asked if we wanted more drinks. We asked 3 times for the bill. The couple in the table next to us eventually, out of desperation, went to the counter to get their bill !

This is our 4th visit to this place. The food again was great but tonight the service was shocking. We sat outside and had a warm welcome on arrival and placed our orders and then we were promptly forgotten! We had to go to the bar to get service for desert and then the bill and not once asked “how is your meal / can we get anything else....” such a disappointment tonight.

We stayed at the Travelodge which does not have its own restaurant, so we found breakfast at Bar 163. All the family gathered together, and I think we all ordered something different.

We had a couple of hours to kill while waiting for some car repairs and came across Bar 163 which was quite an oasis in the middle of a really dismal parade of shops (or boarded up units). It's a great place for lunch, quite the TARDIS, with extra seating at the back towards the courtyard and also upstairs. The decor is a little quirky and I'm sure at night, with the fairy lights twinkling, it's an atmospheric supper venue.

Thought I’d give this place a go.... been a few times when the races are on and it does get busy Shown to our table... service was good... had to wait a bit, but it was busy so it’s expected Food was nice when it came and served with a smile If planing a meal here, worth checking if the footies on cause it gets a bit loud Definitely worth a try and shall be returning

I have lived in the area for 63 years and I have for some reason I have never been in the bar 163.

We were here for a party. We had the up stairs room.

Was our first visit to the restaurant, waitress was very good at getting us both seated. The coffee was really lovely and the food was delicious but as I was half way though eating I found I had bitten into a chicken bone in the New York club sandwich! When I told the waitress she said she would take it away. No apology or no offer to replace the meal. It seemed as though they where unsure what to do and shocked. We asked for the bill and we had to say that we where not going to pay for the club sandwich and explain what happened again because the other person who took the bill wasn’t aware. Lack of communication and customer care! This could have been a very serious incident if someone had choked on it!

Four of us each had a delicious meal last night. The starters are great, reasonably priced and generous portions. My favourite is the hoummous, taramasalata platter. The pork and bean casserole, the gnocchi, the lamb steak, and their own gorgeous homemade burger were all fantastic main courses. The accompanying sauté potatoes were so good, small, sweet and nutty. The salads were absolutely fresh with lovely leaves, no limp lettuce here!

I had a lovely night out with friends. Fantastic choice of food. I throughly enjoyed the lamb cutlets washed down with a lovely red. Our lovely waitress Ange was very helpful and her recommendations were spot on. Very impressed and will defiantly return again.

I have dined at Bar 163 several times since moving to Egham for brunch, lunch and dinner and really enjoy frequenting this restaurant. The decor is really lovely and creates a nice ambience, especially outside in the summer when the fairy lights are on. The food is always extremely delicious. I recently booked a very large table for my birthday meal and the management were easy to liaise with regarding food orders (including vegan and gluten-free dietary requirements). The only aspect which can let Bar 163 down is that the service is often quite slow. There have been occasions where I have waited quite a long time for my order, nevertheless, upon its arrival it is delicious and I would not discourage anyone on this basis.

A small group of us decided to go out for a late Brunch on a Sunday but it was a last minute decision so we didn't get the opportunity to book. In the end 10 of decided to go but we assumed that with so many of us that we would not be able to get a table to sit together. However, the staff were extremely helpful and after only a few minutes had turned a few tables around in order to sit all 10 of us together.

Lovely surroundings, courteous staff and good choices on the menu. food well cooked, compliments to the chef. Have visited before and will definitely be back

Held our daughters 21st birthday party here in the private room above the main restaurant. Excellent night enjoyed by all. Staff very friendly and helpful and made the whole event very special.

Regularly drop in for a coffee, but this time with my better half and a friend for a light lunch. Chargrilled chicken ciabatta with humous was delicious, but did not realise it came with chips so diet took a hit; I know I could have left them ... Good friendly service with a smile, and all food and drinks arrived in a timely fashion.

Went here twice during a quick visit; first for drinks and for breakfast! Lovely rustic looking place with a cosy feel in the morning & evening. For such a compact place it was always busy- breakfast was great; good portions, freshly cooked & great prices with a lot of choice! Hopefully we'll get to visit again some when! :)

Friendly staff. Great food. Thoroughly enjoyed an unexpected meal here last night. Would recommend. Cosy. The goat's cheese salad starter with sweet potato fries made an excellent main meal.

For the second time I went to this bar, because the first one was great.

We had excellent club sandwich and sausage and mash followed by indulgent affrogata. They do good all day breakfast and brunch but not so good for lunch. Service was slightly more casual than we expected. Nice atmospheric venue with bar space, dining area and private party space.

They had a group of 30 people arrive. Once the group arrived the staff forgot about us. The manager did come and ask after 20 mins if we are being looked after but by this time we just wanted the bill.

We were the only diners are lunch. It was horrid weather outside which may have had a bearing.

Have had lunch often here and receently enjiyed tea and toast a few times. Good food on all occasions. The desserts are particularly good. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely be returning, already booked a lunch for next week.

Fabulous food and service as always. Food is always great and the menu is constantly changing with some great vegetarian options available too.

Took student daughter for dinner and was very pleased we chose this lovely, friendly bar/restaurant. Cosy, rustic and warm. Interesting menu with variety of dishes. We went for specials - beef stroganoff and cod fillet - which were beautifully cooked and presented. Excellent quality and really tasty. Italian chocolate trifle and chocolate torte for pudding - well! Left us speechless! They were the best puddings we’ve had for a very long time. Thoroughly recommend this delightful place.

My wife and I quite often eat here, because the food is tasty, staff always friendly and efficient and the cost reasonable. 'nuff said!

Food was beautiful and the service was great! Lots of variety on the menu and very accommodating for a noisy table of 10!!

We were allocated the function room upstairs with a balcony overlooking the high street,which was perfect for our party. Excellent buffet catered for all ages and tastes,the service was first class,drinks were delivered promptly and well presented,the place had a great atmosphere and friendly staff.

It seems to come round all too soon but we will soon be booking our Turkey Dinners and are busy trying to get a group of six people, since any less and you are unable to order this option.

One of my go to places when down in the area for work. Great menu - enough options but not too extensive, good portion sizes and in my opinion, always well prepared. The goats cheese salad is a personal favourite.

The food here was amazing. We came as a group of 11 and they managed to accommodate us. Everyone loved what they had to eat. They have a great wine selection too. The pineapple and coconut cheesecake was to die for.

Had a wonderful lunch, warm goats cheese salad with walnuts. Generous portion sizes, gorgeous food, and attentive service (Jess B was our kind server). Thanks very much, would definitely recommend!

We stopped by for a badly needed breakfast. My 163 English was delicious as was my partner's porridge. Great coffee and orange juice, and good value. We'll go back soon

A huge compliment to the food. I had the warm goatcheese salad with walnut. It was not just a regular salad, but an amazing one with some spice in it. The others had new York clubsandwich and a salmon cakes with spinach. We all three were silent because we enjoyed the dish very much.

Having just left Heathrow and on route to the Surrey hills we happened upon this excellent place for breakfast when we called in to Egham to get some supplies. First up, excellent staff, attentive quick to greet and above all old school politenesses. The 163 breakfast was a triumph! Great quality produce, cooked perfectly. An excellent dining experience, washed down with properly made English Breakfast tea. All in all an excellent breakfast, a great venue, great staff!

Have been here a few times. Food very good. Service friendly. Tables could do with a spruce up. Would recommend!
