Bar 163 Egham was opened in 1984 to create a bar that would combine good quality, uncomplicated food in an informal setting complimented by a wide selection of well chosen, realistically priced wines and beers.

The formula seemed to work and for many years Egham ran successfully fulfilling our original intentions although it became clear that the bar was being used more as a restaurant due to the popularity of the food which led to talk of expansion

This didn't happen until in February 1999, a chance meeting with a customer led us to The Old Town Hall in Chertsey which had suddenly become available and seemed to provide the perfect venue for our next opening.

Eighteen months later having spent countless hours hand building, restoring and endlessly repainting all aspects of the interior, the feeling was right and with the basis of a good team in place we finally managed to open.

The two restaurants now successfully combine style and good food with prices that have allowed them to become regular destinations for both business and social use.

Both restaurants have outside seating, Egham with its wonderful secret Meditteranean garden at the rear and Chertsey, which has ground floor seating throughout the summer, offering a great place to while away the afternoons either inside or out in our covered arcade where, weather permitting, we also hold the occasional al fresco Jazz Evenings to complement the regular monthly events held upstairs.
