Bar 163 in Runnymede

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

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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Having eaten here before and had a fantastic meal we decided to book again for our 30th wedding anniversary. My husband ordered a £30 bottle of wine and it was dumped on the table already opened - when we went to pour it we realised it was not even the wine we order and by the time the waitress had bought the one we ordered, again opened we had finished our meal. We didn't drink it bit still had to persuade her to take it off the bill all in all shocking service -such a shame as a lovely place and good food.

Amazing food and 5 star service.

The waitress was lovely food was nice it was whilst waiting 15 minutes for our Bill i explained to the waitress we were in a rush and she Appologised then the comment from the lady making the coffees and also processing the bill was

Lovely outdoor setting for a nice business lunch.

We visited Bar132 in July for breakfast. Not only was the service particularly poor they seemed to be unable to make a simple bacon sandwich! The bacon within my sandwich was poorly cut and still had a bone attached which causes substantial pain to my tooth when consuming, it was incredibly lucky I didn’t choke! Furthermore when confronting the server about the bone the response was that it was simple made that way, I can honestly say in all my years I have never had bacon with a piece bone still attached. There was no such attempt to rectify the situation despite leaving more than half the sandwich after finding a bone. I will not be returning

My friend and I love this Place! It has a beautiful Garden in where having a lovely english breakfast. Id you Will going ti Egham, you must visit It!

I came here for dinner with my wife on our anniversary. Nice dinner with good waitress service. The desserts were good also.

I have eaten many many times in this restaurant over the years and have never had a bad meal, it has always been delicious, well presented and varied and last night was no exception. It is nice how the specials change regularly although a particular roasted sweet potato salad I had there about three months ago they no longer do which I was a bit sad about, but nevertheless the choices were still plentiful and the food and presentation as always was excellent! We sat outside in the garden, which is such a lovely atmosphere I will definitely be back!

Decent food and good atmosphere for some locals to get together. I like this for breakfast and lunch and dinner.

Never have I had a bad meal here, Bar 163 is by far the best place in the area for Brunch and they keep it different by having specials all the time.

The staff here are 5 star professional, courteous and friendly even at 14.30 in the afternoon when I asked for my Own choice of breakfast nothing was to much trouble and they made it happen it was tasty and lovely. Thank you

We went in on the off chance. We asked what was gluten free on the menu (one of us has Coeliac Disease). The waitress (although very pleasant) said she didn't know what was GF and pointed to the omelette and said 'I think that's gluten free but it depends on the filling you choose'. There 3 of us and we ordered the 163 English, avocado/salsa on muffin and cheese omelette (GF). We also ordered 2 flat white coffees and double espresso. The food arrived promptly (although it was all lukewarm and the cheese in the omelette had not melted. After reminding the waitress a couple of times about our coffees, when the drinks eventually arrived (after we had finished eating) they were cold!!!

I arrived early on the train. Short walk from the station, maybe a half mile max.

The place was empty but it still took half an hour to get the waitress to come to take our order. She could see I’m in a wheelchair and ordering steak meals for myself and daughter and her student friends. I think it would be wise to advise any customers in a wheelchair BEFORE they order food that they don’t facilitate for disabled people because blatantly EVERYONE uses toilets. I was so humiliated and had to use the toilet over the road at a wonderful place with great food and a toilet called the Red Lion where I ate the following day. (See my review for the red lion)

Whether you go for a full meal with friends or just pop in for coffee, Bar 163 is an excellent choice. I often meet family there for a coffee and a chat and there is a very nice garden area at the back when the weather's nice.

Bar 163 is a little Gem that is great for lunch and breakfast. The food is good and the menu wide ranging. The service is always good and the atmosphere welcoming. The upstairs rooms are good for a company venue.

After a fairly nice walk in the sunshine from Runnymede, we stopped off at Egham and I’m glad we did, this is why.....we walked past Bar 163 and I was hankering after something filling (we’d just finished a long walk with all of the monuments included) and Bar 163 met my needs and more! The staff were really friendly and made us feel very welcome, the garden area was surprisingly spacious and perfect for such a warm day, and the food? The food was great! I had the morrocan lamb burger with sweet potato fries, and the thing that made this extra special was the pickled fennel! I’ve never had such a tasty topping on my burger (I’ve eaten burgers all over the world), and I can’t stop talking about how good it is!! My wife had the club sandwich, which looked amazing, and she said very little whilst she ate it (this is a very good sign). Bar 163 really impressed, and I will be back in Egham soon, and back in Bar 163 for sure! Thank you for introducing me to pickled fennel!

I agree completely with the previous review, the place looks lovely specially during the evening, it has a nice garden, but the food although never bad is usually a bit meh...bland, small portions or we are left just feeling that is was ok but something was missing! Not as bad as to complain but not good either.The service can be slow, specially in the afternoon when normally is just one person on and if it gets a bit busy, well pls prepare to wait. I keep going bad because a colleague likes the sharing platter to start, which doesn’t involve any culinary skills... will try buying all from Waitrose next time .

I come here pretty often if I’m just wanting a coffee or a light lunch but have never really been impressed by the food and at usually very unimpressed by the insanely slow service even when they’re not busy. The interior of the restaurant is absolutely lovely and it makes for a very nice atmosphere, especially outside on sunny days. However, the food and service are tolerable and that’s about it. All the meals are exactly what it says on the menu, no extra flavour, no side salad etc, so don’t expect anything impeccably presented. In saying this, the food has never tasted bad and the fresh orange juice and any hot beverages taste wonderful.

Popped in here for lunch with a friend, they were very welcoming to us and accommodated the baby buggy with no fuss.

I met a friend here for an early dinner, we both tried a vegatarian meal, it was amixture of sweet potato, kale, harrissa etc, Beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, but not enough for a main meal, so I was left feeling a little hungry.

這是Egham一家傳統的餐廳。菜單選擇不多，但價錢合理和可接受。我和家人在這裏吃晚餐，吃了意大利燉飯和意大利面，十分推薦。員工也很友善和很有耐心，向我們推薦不同的食物。

Just popped into Bar 163 for a Peroni and a coffee, while my dog was getting his hair cut. It was really busy and there was a great atmosphere. The staff (as always) were really professional and friendly and the drinks were good (a top notch coffee).

Enjoyed a lovely relaxing brunch at Bar 163 today. First time out for a while with my wife and daughter and her girlfriend up from Brighton. Service was attentive and efficient and food and drink were lovely. It was busy but we weren’t rushed at all and were able to catch up and enjoy a cosy brunch on a rainy day. They are also very flexible and accommodated all our little requested adaptations with a smile.

It took a while for it to come and a couple of orders went wrong but the food on its own was quite tasty.

I ordered a sandwich and a portion of chips.
