Giggling Squid in Wycombe - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great customer service ,nice restaurant We ordered few starters to just having a quicke snack. Prawns too hot for our taste lots of chill on top of prawn Wings they tasted good but they were probably from the previous day. Spring rolls veg one.Tasty but portion very small… Papaya salad 🥗 just ok

The Giggling Squid consistently offers delicious and authentic Thai cuisine. Having dined there several times, I have never been disappointed. The menu boasts a wide variety of dishes, catering to diverse preferences. As a vegan, I found the Vegetable Massaman curry particularly outstanding.

Lunch today with friends. First rate food, first rate service, I’ve been to Thailand enough times to know a great Thai Restaurant, I’ll be back

Absolutely amazing. Great food and very friendly team 😊😊😊

I have visited this restaurant before and was unimpressed with he quality of the food. I year later, I decided to give it another chance. Very little has changed. My Pad Thai was gloopy, tasted like it had been reheated and not built up from fresh ingredients. Bland flavour and tasteless. All srvered up like warm on cold plates. I also ordered a roti, which was greasy, part cook, and equally undesirable. The chef needs changing as a matter or urgency before things will improve. You need a competent chef with cabaility and passion for his cooking. The restaurant was relatively empty, just a few tables being occupied, probably say's it all. Not all GS are the same. The one in Beaconsfield is outstanding. Please drive the extra distance you will be amazed.

Food was exceptional and service was great, I highly recommend this restaurant

Small portions and uncooked rice. Not impressed

Great experience and night out, we were served by Tania who was extremely attentive and a pleasure to chat with! Fantastic food and knockout service, I look forward to returning!

Mind your head. Quite a low restaurant. The food is amazing. The service great. The food portions were not to large . So left feeling full but not stuffed. Tasted fresh and well prepared. Unfortunately I have nothing harsh to say. Go here and enjoy.

I have visited several of the restaurants around the area and have normally been happy. However today the crispy prawn dish was very disappointing. I chocked on the praenomen as there was shell . When I told the waitress I was told all the prawns come with shell. Totally inedible and not at all a pleasant experience. No apology at all for the experience.

Waitress (assuming as she’s not in uniform) was serving a lunch set across the table for my daughter and my daughter was trying to reach out for it with good intention to help because the waitress was dangerously stretching out to put it across. Food shouldn’t be served this way and unfortunately the lunch set fell on the table and the hot food fell unto her thighs. My daughter thigh was slightly scalded and skirt was soiled. Really spoiled our lunch out today. By the way, the waitress did apologise. This shouldn’t happen at all. Very bad experience.

Delicious Thai food and great service.

The staff here are attentive and very welcoming. The food is beautiful and the atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely! Always my go-to for Thai food in Marlow!

This place was a real unexpected find. The building is so quaint and cool there are signs to watch your head as its that old, but refurbished. The seating was comfortable and our waitress was vibrant, attentive and charming and helped with the order. The food we had was AMAZING, everything was so tasty and left you wanting more. The portion sizes were really good, just enough, but as i said left you wanting more as the taste was just too good. Price wise it was reasonable and this place will definitely be visited again, maybe next time for evening dinner. A must try for all who like good tasting vibrant food in a really nice setting.

Butterfly prawns starter was superb, well presented and served with pride and joy.

Booked a table at 5pm for 4 people, arrived to find very few people in the restaurant. We ordered drinks with starters which arrived 20mins later, then ordered mains which did not arrive, asked why to find out my wife’s meals was not available . My daughter’s kids meal did arrive but others did not. We left due to poor service due to understaffing ! We went to Cote Brasserie ! We paid for our drinks and starters before we left. We will not return!

Great good, waiting staff fantastic. The manager wasnt great, it was so busy and she just sat on her phone and not helping out!!

Lovely restaurant but the double sea bass curty was extremely fishy, not mild as one would expect with this fish. When mentioned to the very nice waitress we were told ' the kitchen says it's deep-fried, not marinated that's why it seems more fishy '. We accepted that at the time but on reflection , this seems VERY unlikely- I eat sea bass all the time at home and it's never so pungent. I think it was a different fish or slightly off. Not pleasant at all , feeling rather fobbed off...

Lovely clean restaurant, bright and airy, however the starter choices were limited as they had run out of satay starter and golden money bags too! Shame really but apart from that, swift efficient service from start to finish!

Food poor woke up in night feeling thirstyto much msg

Always a pleasure! Great staff and delicious food, especially Nong Kwan, who was excellent See you soon. Regards, Khun Jon.

Not all dishes available, the waitress should mention this when giving the menu, when i chose the third time finally this was on the menu

Items were missing from the delivery, the restaurant didn’t want to help at all as they told us it was a Deliveroo issue, even though they had missed it packing the food. Food was pretty average, won’t be using again. Better options locally in our opinion

I went here for my birthday last year. Fantastic food as always, that's why it's my favourite place to eat in Marlow. Beautiful decor, and always welcoming, friendly and wonderful staff. Such a relaxed atmosphere. I cannot wait to return.

Not what it used to be. Food was adequate. Service was slow - especially for drinks. I think they forgot about them tbh. Our food arrived before our drinks and we ordered drinks before food!!

Starter or Squid bits with a spicy sauce was very tasty. Main course of Tender beef was fine. Had to order rice and noodles separately which made the meal more expensive.

Such a shame, it's a beautiful setting, but the experience was poor for a first-time visit for giggling squid co, Food looked the part but did not taste much. This was a friends gathering, which they recommend, after ordering. The moment we got our food, I took one bite into the salt and pepper squid. It was chewy and stringy to where it's moist. The texture was off-putting, and then hoping the mains, a mild chicken coconut curry with vegetables that again had no flavours and the chicken was rubbery and grisly. It didn't end there as our evening was finished of by giving us our bill at 9.15pm when didn't ask for it, she brought the credit card reader the moment we said no to dessert. Felt the pressured to leave. Such a bad experience.

The food was incredible. The staff were very attentive.If you like Thai food this your place. The only issue is once you get inside the Restaurant there’s no cell phone coverage and neither WiFi. Plz look into it.

Food's nice, service is quick. Just think they've got a cheek automatically adding service charge onto the bill. One of my party has nut issues, he was given nut less options, which was very useful.

Last time here December 2022, awful meal. Tonight we decided to give it another chance, what a difference! Crispy salt and pepper squid, delicious and so was the salmon bites. Red Thai chicken curry so good too! Such an improvement thank you! Staff lovely too! Loved the Thai Rose, never tried it before

Great food but don't bother ordering prawn cocktail as they will never come ordered it twice both times didn't arrive

I had a bad experience yesterday at the Marlow branch. This is not a child friendly restaurant. The food was great but the service was terrible. When we arrived with my 8 month old was made to feel very unwelcome and it was made clear that having a high chair was difficult. Then we were asked lots of times whether we were ready to order and greeted with a rude response when we weren't. Then when the food came I asked for an additional plate for my baby I was given one that was hot and breakable so I proceeded to use the tablemat (which was wipeable) to put some rice and spring roll on for her and the waitress came over and in a rude manner asked me to use the plate. I explained that my baby would not be able to use it as she huffed off. Let's say we will not be back. Very disappointing as I love the food.

I haven't eaten in for a while and I think it's definitely worth eating in rather than take out / delivery. I find takeaway hit and miss sometimes but this time we ate in and i really enjoyed it. All the starters were to die for. The squid and the pork dumplings were especially tasty. I tried the pork cheek main and it was sweet and sticky and melted in the mouth. Everything was great. Would happily go back.

My wife booked a table for my birthday. Food, service and the atmosphere were sublime! Very clean restaurant and a very relaxed atmosphere! Lovely little touch by the staff bringing out a little dessert (free of charge) and singing happy birthday! Will definitely be back very soon to enjoy some more delicious Thai food! Marlow branch MASSIVE credit to the company!

A lovely meal and good service as it has been on every visit here.

We had a great meal in the Giggling Squid, the food was excellent, the staff were great and we really enjoyed the time we spent there, and we will return next time we are in Marlow

Food was really good there, we had to wait for a long for food, place was noisy and hot inside. It’s so tiny inside with not much space, but it makes this place special.

Lovely food for the whole family

Delicious food in a quaint little restaurant. The Lychee Angel is absolutely delicious as is the food. A must eat when you're in Marlow.

Good asian food, good service, what else to want. Book a table in advance is recommended because this place can be easily fully booked.

Food was incredible with amazing flavours, but the service was very slow. We ended up not ordering desserts because it took too long to get served. I would go back to Giggling Squid but may try another location.

Went for lunch with sister. Although the restaurant was quite it was one of the worst food and service received. Pity as the one in Beaconsfield was amazing.

We dined 23/6 at 8.45. The food was fabulous, the service was perfect, especially the young man who was clearing the table, he was lovely!

Very friendly attentive staff, food was excellent and great selection of cocktails aswell as food. Definately recommended the restaurant for any special occasions.

Love this chain, always good Thai food

I am not a fan of Thai food but OMG, this restaurant changed my point of view. Delighted by every dish we ordered. We shared a bit of everything and every single one was stunning. Clean, good service. It was full of people. Food took a while but it is good quality food.

A go to for Thai in Marlow. Highly recommend the deep fried squid, a real treat and a must be shared touch as portions are large for me. Enjoyable meal, again, refreshing Singapore beer and lovely seating environment. Always busy, recommend booking.just incase seating is not available.

Fantastic food and great service. Will definitely be going back.

I love this restaurant. We made a reservation via phone, and reserved a table for two half an hour in advance (mind you, it was Sunday). The staff was great, we were greeted with a smile and got the proper menu introduction. The food was amazing. Besides from the countless tastes coming from the Thai cuisine, everything was fresh, from the vegetables to the meat and fish. The surroundings are pleasant, you will really enjoy staying in. They should, however, think about changing the music. Some traditional Thai or Asian sounds, instead of pop music. All in all, awesome restaurant - make sure you visit it.

Very good Thai food! Amazing decor, great building!

Incredible food! Will definitely go back.

Great food and friendly staff 😎

The sticky crispy chicken is really good, was very impressed, including the Pina Colada cocktail as well. The chicken satay was quite a small dish compared to other Thai restaurants I've visited, but I was really happy with the chicken, enjoyed it a lot.

Hands down the best salt and peppered squid! The sharing platters and papaya salad are out of this world, add the ambiance and service this place deserves 5⭐ across the board! Always a favourite and for ever returning!

Lovely staff great food while busy session

Food was good - not rushed at all. Had a good evening overall.

The Chang Mai Platter for 2 was fantastic, we ordered more squid as it was so delicious. Amazing food and friendly staff who took time out to talk to us about the Thai cuisine. Would definitely go there again.

Great food, and good value. My prawn green curry was amazing. Sea bass in banana leaf was also amazing. Took a while for one of the dishes to get to the table but overall good service and great food.

The two Thai ladies working there are probably the two rudest people I’ve ever met. Me and my daughter came in for a nice meal after a day of exploring the area. Maybe we didn’t look ‘rich’ enough to be in there, hence they looked down their nose at us (we could see they were being cordial with all the other patrons) Either way, throwing menus down, asking for your order by saying ‘what?’, never making eye contact, started talking in thai to her colleague while I was MID SENTENCE then just sauntered away from the table mid order. Came back 10 minutes later, and grunted at us for the rest of the order. Other than that, the food was pretty basic.the fish sauce didn’t smell or taste like any other fish sauce I’ve had at Thai restaurants. smelled like it had gone off. The muscles were dry and rubbery, like the came out of a packet bought at Sainsbury’s next door. (Update: we went and got some muscles from Sainsbury’s the next day and they were literally the same ones) All in all an absolute horrid experience. Oh… and they added a service charge for this 5 star experience without even asking. RESPONSE TO THE OWNERS RESPONSE: the fact that you didn’t mention the main crux of the issue, (that being the abysmal way we were treated by your staff) in your response is disappointing to say the least. Makes me think you don’t have a problem with mistreating customers if they don’t look like they come from money. Honestly if that’s the case either enforce a dress code or make it private members only. Save anyone else coming in there and being made to feel like a proletariat

The food here is sublime! The service is slow. But they're so lovely and welcoming all is forgiven!

My first visit to this place and I won’t be returning. My food was very poor - the chicken was dry, over cooked and tough. The rest of the meal was pretty much tasteless except for a background unpleasant taste which I couldn’t identify but didn’t like.

Excellent food and service, quirky little building. Would definitely go back.

Ruined an evening catching up with friends. Waited over 90 minutes for the main. Noisy. Food was average. Used to be a delightful evening eating out at the Giggling Squid but a better option now is getting microwave Thai food from Sainsbury's 1 minute up the road. Much cheaper than paying £144 for a regrettable night.

Terrible experience. We spent £106 and booked via website for collection for 1945 we were waiting an hour and finally left at 20.45. Once we finally had it the order was completely wrong. There were loads of us waiting and experiencing the same. There was no methodology as to who got there order. People were getting them who had a time slot 30 mins after our order. No manager to be seen. No explanation other than they had half the staff. No communication. Shocking and disappointing. I will not be returning anytime soon. Appalling

I went to lunch here on 9 March 2023 as it was my friend's birthday. It's a beautifully decorated restaurant in an old beamed building. I'm a Coeliac so their allergen menu was very clear, detailed & easy to read. We ate 5 starters for lunch & every dish was beautifully presented & delicious too. As a surprise, they gave us complimentary 2 scoops of gelato with Happy Birthday written on the plate. Fantastic touch, they didn't have to do that!! Highly recommended this restaurant and they are in other locations too as the Beaconsfield one is gorgeous too!

Good service and lively atmosphere, I think if I knew the menu better I’d have enjoyed the food more.. I would have preferred food to be served to share like a Chinese restaurants do.. Although the dish I choose was lovely it became quite boring very quickly.. £160 for 4 of us..

Have only been a couple of times and had takeaway but have found the food great. Only room for a bit of improvement would be a mixed starter.

Great service and the food was outstanding

Sadly got food poisoning after my meal today

Lovely restaurant with a warm welcome, polite and friendly staff and the food is out of this world, it's an absolute must if your in the area, you won't be disappointed.

Habe been probably 20 times, and Lunchtime menu is the weak point here, hence only 4 stars. Evening menu and drinks, especially cocktails are 5 stars all the way. Lovely atmosphere, nice decor, lovely food, reasonably priced for Marlow. Very pleasant friendly staff.

Food is amazing soooo good. Staff are really friendly cute little restaurant.

Beautiful venue, low ceilings, delicious food, wonderful staff, reasonable prices.

Shout out to the AMAZING staff at Giggling Squid for keeping up with the great job on a difficult night - yesterday there were some delays in the kitchen and I’ve witnessed arrogant and rude behavior by customers towards the staff. People not only complaining but clearly taking advantage of the situation to get a free meal. The table next to us ordered a 3 course meal and after eating it all said that they were not going to pay for any food!! They literally left the restaurant without paying for what they have eaten & taken away… shocking. On the other end, waiters and manager kept being very professional and kind. Just sad to witness the complete lack of manners by customers. As per food: was delicious, as always

First time at this place and will go again. Possibly my favourite in Marlow

Delicious food! I’ve been here twice now and it’s consistently been delicious. They also apparently do take away too! I 100% recommend. Also the drinks are delicious - I had the lychee mocktail

My first visit here, I went with my friends and we loved the atmosphere, decor, service, all excellent! We ordered a variety of starters, all very nice. Lovely that everything was halal, except for the pork ofc and chicken wings. I ordered chilli chicken stir fry, it was lovely. I'd visit again yes! Seats were uncomfortable, sore to sit on after a while, all 5 of us noted this.

Amazing food and excellent service.

Superb, the salt and pepper squid starter was the best I’ve ever had.

Great ambience, very busy in evenings. Yummy food but slightly pricey.

So my sisters and I chose Giggling Squid for a long overdue catch up and although the order was slightly delayed (they were very busy in there), the staff looked after us and kept us informed; special shout out to Daniella and Valentina, who are the type of people who renew your faith in human nature. Very personable and lovely, good at their jobs of looking after their customers. Fab atmosphere and above all, v nice food! We had the pad thai, some curries and rice. Yum!

Very expensive Thai and automatically impose a service charge even though they say its a choice on their website

Beautiful place, the food was delicious and well presented good portion size, we waited a bit long for dessert but it was worth it and the staff were very helpful and friendly,

Great food, attentive staff, lovely building. Amazing

Absolutely fantastic. Clean. Bright restaurant. The service and the food are fab. And such a warm welcome by all of the staff.

I ordered a meal for 5 people for collection after I finished work. We all looked on the online menu and the orders where sent to me and I ordered before I left work and collected on the way home. The whole process was seamless and easy. The food came beautifully packaged and most importantly tasty lovely. From the sticky rice to the ribs and prawns all bursting with great flavours. If you haven't tried a Giggling Squid I can highly recommend you do.

Been going for years and often get takeaway, always lovely food and service!

Amazing, amazing meal. It was very loud (we had a table of 8 next to us) but even so the staff were great & attentive. Would recommend.

Went on Monday night,had a fabulous meal accompanied by great service from Valentina,she’s an asset to the company.

Great service and delicious food. Consistently really good

Fab thai food in a lovely setting with amazing service from the lovely Valentine

My favourite restaurant in Marlow! As a local I'm so lucky to have such a variety of restaurants however when I fancy a catch up with friends, a meal with our out of town families or a date night with my other half I always want to come here! The food, staff and atmosphere are perfect, every meal is high standard, consistent and beautifully presented. The portion size is incredibly generous, I almost always take home half my main meal after a starter! Thank you so much to all of the staff, it's a wonderful experience every time. It's friendly, consistent and just all round a calm, relaxed and wonderful place to eat I'd recommend booking before 7pm as you'd imagine they book up heavily and even have queues on weekdays after 7! Thanks to all the staff, I look forward to returning as always!

Lovely food and friendly staff ❤️💙💚

Superb restaurant. Super quick service and the good is incredible

It is nice and cosy restaurant. ambience is good. We order variety of food and drinks. Services are good and fast. We had a fun time and enjoyed our food

Friendly staff, place was clean and nice atmosphere, various dishes available, Food portions and quality average. Service charge at 10%

Food was excellent!! Staff however, very rude lady manager

Delicious food and friendly service. Their lunch time specials, tapas are amazing!

The service was very poor. The waitresses were clumsy. The food tasted nothing like Thai food. It had backheat but no real taste or flavour.

I absolutely love the service, food and ambiance here. They do really nice lychee martinis.
