Giggling Squid - Beaconsfield in Beaconsfield

Had our team Christmas lunch there, and everything was great. The restaurant was quite busy considering it was Wednesday day time. We submitted our menu choices in advance, so only had to order drinks on arrival (although its also possible to pre-order drinks) Our food was delicious and nicely presented. Most of us had salmon for the main, and the portion was quite large with a big piece of salmon! Great customer service!

Worst Pad Thai ever,it was absolutely tasteless. The service was non existent. We were served mains and drinks. No offer of desserts or hot drinks. Very very poor!

Really lovely restaurant decor very Impressive. Food was super as was the service. Highly recommend Food : 5/5

Visited the Beaconsfield Giggling Squid for a celebratory anniversary. As always we receive a warm welcome, delicious food and have a great time in beautiful surroundings. Thank you!

We ordered a takeaway for 5, it was absolutely delicious! Quick service with super friendly & helpful staff, the manageress is always welcoming and attentive. One of our favourites in Beaconsfield Old Town.

Sorry to say, one of our party last night had the Salmon. She has been sick and ill since arriving home snd has spent the entire day in bed !

Really great menu with extensive vegetarian and vegan options

Great meal and lovely service as always from Jaime. This restaurant never disappoints

Great dood

Great quick lunch with 17 y old son! Pad Thai and drink for £10 each.

Great service, lovely food. Will visit again and highly recommend Food

Nothing to dislike.

Great Restaurant. Excellent food. However, we traveled from the North West to re-visit, just for a meal. Unfortunately, they had changed the Menu! Our favourite dishes had been replaced. So, we were a little disappointed. Food

Friday night, busy and lively with excellent food and even better service. Taste buds will certainly enjoy the experience. Didn t have room for desserts as the main meal and starters were generous. Recommend.

Excellent service, friendly and chatty. The lunch tapas menu is wonderful, a great selection of authentic dishes.

Lovely restaurant and service. They have reduced their vegan menu, which is a shame as they used to do a good variety.

Love the name, cozy inside, great food. Asked about dietary restrictions right as I was seated, which might be useful for other people. Friendly staff. Food

Great food great service Charlotte she is very professional and helpful

Lovely food. We sat in the garden which was nice and quiet and spacious so could sit apart from other diners.

Got a takeaway tonight from here. Normally eat in, the manageress asked for the food to be ready asap as they were busy in the restaurant and food was ready in 10 mins. Good service and good food. Thank you

Amazing location, great thai food , the best massamant curry I ve ever hadddd

Recommended Giggling Squid Beaconsfield (as I love it!) to a group of friends, they were delighted and said they d go back!

Ate here for lunch, celebrating our Wedding Anniversary which we shared with one of the staff when she took a phot of us. Food was excellent. Starters wise went for the favourites of Salt and Pepper Squid and Duck Spring Rolls. My wife had Thai Red Chicken Curry for main and I had the Pork Hock on the bone and we both had sticky rice. You dont need a rice side with the pork dish. The food was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The service was excellent and we were brought two scoops of complimentary ice cream with a Happy Anniversary message in fruit coulis on the plate which was a really lovely gesture. We had a great time and I cant recommend this place highly enough. Hot, piping, delicious food, good portions and wonderful, attentive service. Well be returning to the Giggling Squid.

Disappointed with the food quality as it was not as good as expected. Reminded me of Wagamama where food always tastes like remotely preprepared chilled food often not heated all the way through sufficiently , or perhaps the chefs had an off night ,will try again in future in hope that was issue.

Absolutely superb! Looking forward to returning. Dietary restrictions: Very good menu for gluten intolerance. Food : 5/5 |

Suffered sickness a couple of hours after eating a meal of shellfish at this restaurant. When reported in detail to the restaurant management they did not apologise for serving me bad or contaminated food but instead wanted me to complete a form. They were more interested in adherence to their policies and processes than the customer experience which says it all! Got the impression they did not believe me and were employing delaying tactics to deter me from taking further. Reading through management responses to unhappy customers reviews it would seem they use a standard reply. Won t be eating there again!!

What an amazing experience. Cant fault it. Thank you for an amazing experience and excellent food

Great food, great cocktails, and great service.

Always one of my favourite places to eat! I have come so many times and love it so much, it s an amazing atmosphere with delicious food. My waiter was called Ben and he was an excellent waiter, very funny and attentive. Definitely recommend!

Visited with friends for first time. Food was delicious, every dish was very tasty and fresh ingredients were used. Generous portions. Cocktails were great and staff attentive. Nice ambiance. Looking for to come back there. Recommended dishes

Food was good but bit pricey and the portions are very small .

food was cold and sent back. out of the 4 dishes my wife sent hers back due to the meat being cold but sauce warm. Pad Thai was very sweet, yes its a sweet dish but should be be sickly sweet. massaman lamb, meat was tender but the sauce itself was grainy, hot to almost warm the lamb, potatoes and carrots were only just cooked through and again seemed as if the sauce would warm the veg. my son enjoyed his dish! oddly the bannisters etc were sticky to touch... i have been to a few GSs but this experience was bad enough to not go back to this branch again. I would call it overpriced mediocrity. staff - good!

Nice food, tapas is a small menu with several Thai dishes. Very delicious. Nice local. Good atmosphere. Local guests

Always wonderful

Impromptu visit, turned into a great experience. I plan to be back with more people

The starter was excellent but my the vegetables were very hard.

Great service, quick response to orders, plenty of space, making it a nice location and giving it a good atmosphere. Comprehensive menu.

Food was really good, tasty and traditional. Service the second time around could ve been better, waited a while after being seated to be attended to however it was a good experience overall.

Good

Another excellent meal here on Saturday, excellent starters and curries. Chloe our server was excellent and made the meal more enjoyable

had such an amazing meal. got the cashew stir-fry with chicken and loved it. the sauce was so flavorful!! defo recommend only problem was as it s an old building there was a little dead upstairs, however it may have been as sitting right next to window- i did wear a big jumper as well- service was great and staff were lovely helped with any concerns on the menu. have recommended to many already and will 100% be going back!!!

It was a lovely lunch fmafter visit the model village which is 5 minutes drive from the restaurant. A lovely blonde lady working behind the bar welcomed us and she was very friendly with our kids. Food was ok, good value for money

Had a few things missing off the menu, but we had a lovely meal none the less.

Starters were cold and one of my mains arrived cold as well which was disappointing. We sent the mains back to be warmed up but still wasnt to my liking. The food itself was delicious. I came here as I went to the other one in Welyn garden city and it was an amazing experience, so I expected the same here. Was let down unfortunately.

Delicious

Great authentic food

Great place loved it sweet chilli chicken is great

Service was good and food came out in good time. But it was very expensive and not blown away by the taste.

I ate at this restaurant recently, the meal was good but expensive for a Thai meal -- £94 for a 2 course meal (2 x soup and 3 mains. No wine) - 10% was added to my bill for service charge -- I put 1£00 for payment and waited over 35 minutes for no change to be given (10% + 9% taken without even a thanks or permission -- Better value even at the Ritz) It is surprising that for the sake of the change taken illegally they have lost a customer -- I eat Thai food at least twice a month -- DISGUSTED with Sourface Squid as not only high priced but take any change due from paying the bill + a service charge -- heard the next table say think they forgot our change What a con -- UNRECOMMENDED :( Dont bother unless you have unwanted funds better to give it to a charity

Great for lunch time taster dishes

First time visiting, nice table , restuarant was not to busy at the time our group arrived , which was nice, had a meal, food came quickly which was good as we were hungry, the food we had was ok.

Everything about the customer service was lovely, just as good as the Windsor branch. However, I found the food here and its presentation disappointing in comparison to their Windsor branch. I asked for vegan noodles but to add extra chilli and when the plate arrived they did say it was extra chilli, but I could not taste any. As I was with friends I hadnt met in a long time I did not want to make a fuss about anything but having said that the food was more warm than hot too. The spring rolls were for some odd reason sliced diagonally in half and way too oily. Dessert was ok but the presentation and tiny pot of melting away ice cream really let it down. So, would I return back? Most likely not. For the amount they charge, I would just expect better quality food whether the restaurant is busy or not. The staff were hands down lovely, friendly and couldnt have done a better job! The atmosphere was also really lovely. There was definitely a lack of space on the seats we sat on as there was no room for our coats, so we had to either sit on them or squash them behind which just arched our backs.

What a lovely restaurant. Good menu food tasted awesome

Had a lovely lunch out yesterday. The set menus were well portioned. I recommend the Morning Glory as a side - sauce is delicious!

Very tasty food and the service was great! Will be back. Food

Got a take away. The staff were charming. Mean portions for the cost of dishes. We had salt and pepper squid to start....5 pieces of squid for £8.50!! Ridiculous, although tasty. Thai green beef curry and jasmin rice delicious but the Pad Kee Mao Prawn was massively disappointing.....bland in looks and taste and only 5 prawns. Cannot recommend. Other reviews are glowing. Maybe I was unlucky. Parking: Friday night street busy with parked cars....

The atmosphere was great , the food I reckon on a medium scale, you can get better in local Thai places. Location and ambience was brilliant but shame about the food.

Enjoined Fantastic......... . Food : 4/5

Great service, delicious food. Staff very attentive

Delicious food,very friendly service especially the lady from Marlow

Our go to restaurant. Never disappoints. Food and service always been good. Book your table in advance.

8 of us went for my husbands birthday, food was amazing. Reasonable prices. They even brought a cake and candle out unprompted for my husband. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. 1st time at Giggling Squid and would highly recommend and will definitely be returning. Thank you for a fantastic evening. Vegetarian options: Excellent choice of vegetarian options

Great place with greta food and service. Always good and never disappoints

Staff were friendly and service was great. The food was really bland, portions were small and nothing like Thai food I have eaten either in Thailand or in other restaurants in the U.K. I have been to. Limited vegetarian options. Extremely disappointing for the price. Another rip-off chain restaurant I m afraid

Despite arriving early (5.45pm) and seeing plenty of staff, the service was painfully slow. It took over 45 minutes to receive drinks. The food arrived with items missing, only to arrive when we were on our last mouthful. I don t understand how so many staff can achieve so little. The only thing to arrive promptly was the bill! The chefs were let down by front of house staff.

Its Shame that service was not that great as we went on a Saturday. Was not even offered desserts. Staff not trained well enough . Noticed that its got bit pricey and portion reduced. Lady manager was lovely and apologetic.

Always receive a lovely service and the food is great. I love the sticky chicken, the duck spring rolls and the green curry!

Thank you to Valentina and the gentleman with the glasses at the reception behind the computer - we have been coming regularly on the Friday and they have always looked after us. Both were brilliant yesterday as well - thank you for being flexible with us on the timing and arranging for us to sit at the back - thank you.

Valentina the General manager was amazingly kind and great service.

Wonderful evening, beautiful restaurant, tasty food, lovely staff!

Loved it! Came here by accident and found delicious food and friendly staff, will be back soon

Very efficient kids loved it

Lovely atmosphere, great food and service - been back a few times now! Its a favourite of ours. Dietary restrictions: I have a Nut allergy and they were very helpful on letting me know what I could eat.

The ambience, the service, and most importantly the presentation and taste of the food. Loved the experience! Well done team! I would highly recommend this place.

NEW Vegan menu. My Wife and I are both plant based and excited to try the new dedicated Vegan menu. A serious 10/10 rating, absolutely delicious. I had Chilli & Basil Gra Pao and pad Thai noodles. My Wife enjoyed the Tapas plate with 2 dishes, spring rolls and rice, a bargain at only £10.95. We loved it all.

Massive local restaurant in two floors and a garden but keeps its character and neighbourhood vibe. Extensive menu but also quick lunch special menus. Tasty food...

Overall a little disappointing. A nicely presented place with friendly, but seemingly inexperienced staff, Thai food without much spice isnt Thai food. A long wait for the food to arrive too. Shame.

Food was okay ish. Waiters took ages to take my order, even tho they weren t busy at all. It was a on very quiet Sunday evening.

Great night food and drinks excellent time would highly recommend .

I havent been to a Thai restaurant in years, but this was unbelievable! Nice atmosphere and the food was wow! I would like to think that I will be making a return visit!

Our first time and everyone agreed it was a very good meal even my friend who is a vegetarian. Great choice of dishes which we shared between us so no one missed out. We loved the herbal teas also. Staff were friendly and very helpful Vegetarian options: Good range for vegetarian dishes, Parking: Always difficult in Beaconsfield but we all found places to park.

Great food in a great setting and the team were very helpful and attentive - highly rate this place !

Proper eating out. Lovely food and a great choice. Excellent service. Elodie was our waitress and she was very professional at a very busy time.

Just had a fantastic meal in this restaurant for a friends birthday. Really enjoyed every part of it. The waiter (Joel), was great. Really attentive and friendly. We were welcomed with great big smiles from the minute we were greeted at the door. Tried loads of dishes, and each and every one looked and tasted phenomenal. Would highly recommend. Was amazing value as well. A very happy customer.

Lovely. I m honesty it s in the top 10 places for lunch I ve ever been. I don t say that lightly. Was really nice. You d like it too

Great food! Valentina is really great at her job. She makes the place just that much better.

I dined with a friend and all our dishes were delicious. Service was friendly and prompt.

Thank you for this realy nice dinner. The service was excellent and the food very delicious.

I was needing something to eat and a place to zoom to a client in Turin. I was not going to make it back to the office in time for the scheduled meeting. I was passing through Beaconsfield and I happened upon this venue. I dropped in, laptop in hand, and asked about wifi. The guy n reception said no, but, he would ask the manager. They were so accommodating. They gave me wifi access. I was given a quiet table, I logged into wifi, after plugging my laptop into the mains, I settled in and ordered some food. This is where the experience got even better. The chicken wings starter was divine. The sauce was just right, not too hot, and succulent. I moved onto a main. I forget what I ordered, but, it was a form of curry and it was one of the best curries that I have eaten in my life. the rice was also cooked just right. It was not gloopy or sticky, it was just beautifully light. I then wondered about dessert. I glanced at the time, and decided to ask for a menu. In most chines, Japanese, Indian venues the desserts are disappointing, limited in choice and from Brakes. I ordered a mango type sponge. it was delicious. A moist, warm, tasty and light dish that was very, very enjoyable. I also had a house dry white to accompany the meal. This was light, refreshing, sharp to the palette, and as I have just come back from The Santa Cruz area of Chile, and tasting wines over there, my expectations and taste buds are high. For a house white I was not disappointed. This white was remarkably good. The waiting service was excellent and very friendly, and extremely polite. I highly recommend this venue and I will be visiting again. Parking: There is no parking, as with most of Beaconsfield, but, street parking around and about the town is free and there is no time restriction. I managed to find a space almost opposite the venue.

The interior, atmosphere is the reason I choose this restaurant. Food is not bad, just a bit boring. British modified Thai food , Typical. Food

Great food and great service. Always delivers first class Thai food. Great work guys

Had a lovely meal here with great service. Really kid friendly.

Wow, great food, brilliant decor, friendly and efficient staff. The best meal Ive had out in ages.

Amazing experience, staff were friendly, accommodating, and dealt with one of our parties allergies super seamlessly without making a fuss. It was so appreciated. Food is AMAZING! Dietary restrictions: My daughter has a nut allergy during pregnancys and i cant explain how on top of this they were! without making it any kind of issue. Staff are polite and friendly and food was amazing.

I had a great meal here the atmosphere was great and the food was lovely. My favourite dish was the sticky chicken and the salt and pepper squid , great flavour and really enjoyable!

Fabulous, authentic aesthetic.

Great food

Parking: Lots of parking on the main road

Great lunch with very attentive staff. Super quick service and the Tad Pai chicken noodles were fabulous. Thank you

Amazing, I love this place

Wonderful food & great customer service! Will visit again.

Little confusion over our booking, but the lady at the front desk was so helpful. service and food was excellent

I ordered take away and I had the crispy slow cooked beef and the vegan caramelised mango cake.The delivery was fast the food was AMAZING.on the basis of this I will most certainly be recommending it to my friends and family.Very positive experience Dietary restrictions: Just had the MOST delicious vegan caramelised mango cake .It is the best vegan pudding I have ever had

Delicious food and was presented beautifully.The service was excellent, very friendly staff. especially considering it was on a Friday night. Friendly management, made us feel very welcome will definitely be going again! Food

I love the food at the Giggling Squid but it was the service which really made the meal. One of the funniest waiters Ive ever had, brilliant night out. Update - Another fantastic meal out. Service was impeccable as always, as was the food. Second update - lovely beef penang curry with coconut rice. I recently bought their cookbook which is also superb.

Hands down the Best Thai food chain in UK!

Best chain Thai restaurant Parking: Very lucky to find parking as one person was driving off. But Giggling Squid is with the effort. They don t disappoint Food : 5/5 |

Had a wonderful meal here tonight, reasonable prices, really attentive, caring and friendly staff, great atmosphere and most importantly delicious food. Everyone deserves raises. Vegetarian options: Extensive!

Never had a bad meal here, staff are always very friendly and attentive

Unfortunately on this day they were short staffed. Had to wait 45 mins for main course.

Very attentive service, delicious food and a good atmosphere. Wheelchair accessibility: High street parking should allow access Food : 5/5 |

Tried for the first time. Nice place good service

Great food! great atmosphere! The lunch tapas really delicious Food

Nice enough, lacking a certain special feeling, very pricey which may make people to think twice, can get somewhat loud because of the acoustics

Lovely food in a friendly environment

We had a great experience here. Family night out. Good service, lovely food. They could do with more vegetarian options in the starters apart from that a great menu.

Food was great. We ordered the salt and peper squid for starters which came with a lovely hot sauce, with the yummy duck spring roll (crispy and great taste). The dish that stole the show were the Thai red curry which bursted with flavour (on the spicy side), and massaman beef, which had the beef melt off the bone. We ordered the hake which was nice and fresh but not bursting with flavour. Service can be improved.

Lovely place to eat, food amazing

Splendid stuff & enjoyable atmosphere

Very nice food, well priced in pleasant surroundings

Excellent experience, nice ambience and awesome food.

Great Food!

My favourite thai place lives up to price and standard Vegetarian options: lots of veg options Dietary restrictions: Fish sauce in most dishes Parking: But hard to find Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly Wheelchair accessibility: Has wheelchair access

Delicious food and precise, courteous service. Well-furnished antique-style restaurant with well-spaced and comfortable tables

brilliant food, lovely manager

One of my favourite thai restaurant so far .

One of my favourite restaurants. Think the dishes are lekker spiced, fresh and just finger licking tasty. Service is impeccable. One star less for atmosphere as it is very noisy. G Squid, get some sound management done.

We found Giggling Squid quite by chance and decided to try it. We loved the food and the atmosphere and shared the joy of the restaurants unique name. We now know there are more locations so this will definitely be a repeat visit. The Pad Thai was delicious.

The food ordered was good, however some of the ordered vegetarian dishes came containing meat which was a shame.

Was here for a family meal we come here all the time but last time wasnt the best but thats preference do banging food most of the time

Great food and service

Had a horrible experience. Went there on a Wednesday, booked a table for 8 was not ready had to wait over half an our. Then they said our table was ready but when we went over to the table its was dirty with previous dinners left over food cutlery. Table mates were filthy, when we complain they took it and wiped with some random cloth which we could see. Then when order steam jasmine rice with was in polythene bag stuffed it. We had to use our knives to cut the rice as it didnt split on its own. We paid a bill over £250 but food and cleanliness was horrible. Booking was under my friends name Dinesh Amerasekara on the 25th of October.

Great service and the food was absolutely Brilliant!!

I hate to leave this review, but we experienced such a horrible service. I was absolutely disappointed in the service at Giggling squid Beaconsfield. It ruined our anniversary dinner: some of the food was served cold and when we asked for the waiter to warm it up, they left us sitting there for 15 minutes so the food we had that was relatively warm began to get cold, we had to ask how long we would have to wait - finally it came back out. Once we had finished eating, our plates were taken and dessert menus were just dropped on the table and nothing was said. We then waited another 25 minutes and then finally we managed to stop someone and get our dessert. I ve never had such poor service, this was abysmal and I won t be returning back. I m just so upset it ruined our anniversary dinner. It was absolutely insulting to see a service charge on the bill when there was no proper service to begin with.

The toilets were dirty and poorly maintained. All the bannisters to the upstairs were sticky. The cushions on our bench seating were damp - when we pointed this out to staff they apologised and said that children had been sitting there! If they had noticed why didnt they check before seating other guests there?

We went for a special dinner and we had the most delicious authentic Thai food. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended and we are definitely coming back. Food : 5/5

Amazing food, great service and fantastic staff. Definitely the best Thai to go to in Beaconsfield! Served excellently by Patty!

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat access and disabled toilet Food

Yesterday had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday here and it was such a lovely experience great vegan options. Thanks for accomodating my booking request for a quieter table near the books which was a nice touch. Food was delicious, staff were friendly and the vibe was awesome . Hope to return soon please pass on my thanks to the whole team!

Great menu and great food in a beautiful environment

Food was amazing and the service was second to none.

We took our Ukrainian guest here for her 16th Birthday The staff was so attentive and lovley They gave her a lovely desert with a candle and all sang Happy Birthday to her. As if this wasnt enough when we came to paying the bill we was told that theyd covered it as a thank you to us and to treat polina Were still in shock of this act of kindness Thank you all at the Giggling Squid Beaconsfield for your act of kindness and giving us all a beautiful dinner and Polina a special Birthday meal xx

The food is very good!

awful experience at this restaurant. We had specific dietary requirements and they made us feel like we were not welcome and wouldnt accomodate. pathetic place.

I cant recommend this place highly enough. Decorated beautifully, attentive service without being intrusive and the food was melt in your mouth, delicious and flavorful. I could not fault my first visit and I will definitely go again :-)

A nice place to have Thai food - we loved the food and the ambience. One of the nice finds for us, to have authentic Thai food. We ordered spring rolls(they were delicious). And went with chicken ramen, egg fried rice and a few more items - all of them were really nice and tasty. Try the Thai beer they have (in the drinks section) - it is smooth and really worth it. Staff also is polite and helpful in providing options (if asked). Ambience - very nice. Booking a table - options available online or via phone. Parking - plenty of options on the street but it is a very busy street (you might have to take a couple of rounds of the street to be lucky to find one). Prices - Food is priced very high, I believe. That takes away 1 star - they should improve on pricing they put on the food. Parking: plenty of options on the street but it is a very busy street (you might have to take a couple of rounds of the street to be lucky to find one). Kid-friendliness: Kid meal options, and kids love them.

Nice enough but the dishes seemed a bit tired. Poor service.

Wonderful.

Takeaway order - Delicious flavours as always, however, I m not sure the price is justified for the portion size, and the quality of the beef is noticeably worse than it used to be.

So many of the cocktails and drinks were unavailable . And no prawn crackers!?! (how can a Thai restaurant run out of prawn crackers?). Food was good however.
