Had Thai tapas for lunch and it was good. Toilets are located upstairs. Parking was a challenge as I'm not local to the area. It was empty at lunchtime. Quite pricey for the amount and quality.

Hi all, nice place and really good food, but the acoustics in the restaurant aren't so good... so when other guests and tables are chatting it spreads around a bit too easily... but apart from that all good.

Extraordinarily average food.It's nothing crazy despite the presentation. All of our Currys tasted the same and were mediocre. It is literally just coconut powder which hasn't been ground properly which overwhelms anything

Think food has gone a bit downhill since they dumped the tapas philosophy. Too much batter on starters. Lots of the dishes are overly sweet including the Pad Thai. Service was excellent though and decor still great.

Great tapas lunch menu! Good price. Everything was delicious, just a bit tricky to eat off their unique quartered plates! Also not a lot of beef in my beef massaman but it was all very tasty and filling!

One of the tastiest Massaman lamb curry I’ve ever tasted. Pork dumplings - well presented and the taste is divine.

This restaurant already has a great reputation for yummy food, and I totally agree. But what really stood out tonight was the prompt, friendly service from Emily and the team. As most who live in the UK "post" COVID know, good service is hard to come by. The team at the Giggling Squid really set a high bar and provided a wonderful service and experience.

A very well decorated and clean restaurant. The food we ordered was full of flavours and amazing quality.Adreen’s customer service was brilliant and she made sure we had a wonderful experience at the restaurant.A must try spot 10/10Parking: Parking available at the Sainsbury’s car park
Had lunch there on a Sunday. Food was great, but we were not offered the lunch menu until we asked, we were only being given the normal menu when we sat down. The price difference is quite significant between the two menus, so we are not sure if they did it in purpose..Otherwise food taste great.

Newly redecorated - looks beautiful. All of the food was very tasty. The only downside was one of the dishes took a long time to come, but when it did it was amazing. I recommend the sharing platters for a starter as you get to try a lot of different dishes. Without a drink it's about £25-30 pp and with it's about £35-40 pp.

Enjoyed our lunch during NYE. Lovely decor which made for a beautiful ambience. Staff were good and took our orders well, even with a few changes. Food was amazing especially the crispy mushroom in the starters and drunken noodles in the main. Their Thai salad recommended by staff and sautéed greens were absolutely delicious too. Would highly recommend going here.Note: This branch doesn't have parking but you can park at the nearby Sainsbury's.Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian optionsKid-friendliness: Yes - they had high chairs and colouring sheets for the kids.
