Yes but you'll be more limited.

You'll need to do an MSc afterwards, that likely means that you will lose one out of breadth or depth that comparable MEng grads have, alongside have far less experience of the industry. It's also more difficult to finance an MSc compared to an MEng

Lots of engineering companies hire science graduates as engineers. It’s easier if you do have an engineering degree but for example, when I visited Airbus I met people who’d done chemistry or physics degrees instead and got onto the engineering grad programme even tho it said on the application you needed an engineering degree.
You can even become a chartered engineer (but again, it’s more difficult) https://membership.iop.org/chartered-engineer-ceng

Is a CEng from Institute of Physics really of the same value as say IMechE or another body ?

So would it be the same for natural sciences?

Probably depends which sciences you choose to specialise in. Cause if you’re going for more physics and material sciences a lot of the content is relevant to at least some branches of engineering. If you choose to study more of the biology content, your degree will be less relevant to engineering

If I specialise in a physics related discipline what would my chances of switching to an engineering profession be?

If you are dead-set on a career in engineering, doing an engineering degree would make your life easier but lots of science graduates do end up doing engineering so I wouldn’t worry or make your degree choice based on that.
