Giggling Squid Beaconsfield in South Bucks

A really nice Thai restaurant. We went to the Beaconsfield branch. Very unique decor and a welcoming team of servers. We were seated upstairs on a Friday night with charming open beam ceiling. Food was very fresh and overall tasty! Tended to be a bit spicy for my palate but everyone else really enjoyed it.

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

The food was amazing and well presented, the waiter Ben went above and beyond for our table

I would strongly recommend this restaurant. Real family feel to the restaurant. Management team excellent friendly which adds to that relax family feel to dinning. Waiters are friendly and work well together as a team. Me and my work colleagues had a great time. Thank you for such a lovely evening

Food was too good and reasonably priced.

Had a fantastic new year lunch here. Sa lively setting, staff very helpful and friendly. The food was beautifully cooked we went for the set meals which was great value for money and very tasty. Would highly recommend eating here .we will definitely be back in the near future.

2nd time at NYE very good food considering how busy they were

Great Thai place, stopped there on my way back to London after a day's work on the field, I was not disappointed, my only concern was I could not try everything on the menu as they all looked amazing, you should offer a sampling option!

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 it's 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!

We'd booked a table for 7 people on a midweek evening. When we arrived we were taken to a table located upstairs where no other tables were occupied. Eventually our order was taken but the starters took a while to arrive. Then another long wait for the main courses - by now over an hour and a half since we arrived, only to have to send two back as they were almost cold. Some of the dishes gave the impression of having been stood for a long time hence the temperature and also that a fish dish was considerably overcooked. Some of the tables nearby did become occupied but again they seemed to have to wait a long time for service and then for their food. Quite a disappointment for a special family meal. I don't think we'll return.

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

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.

Price increased but the quality of the food remains unchanged. Attentive service, despite having a really busy restaurant on the day I visited. All in all, a great experience and delightful cashew nuts prawn curry. The non alcoholic iced drink was seriously phenomenal.

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 !

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

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Giggling Squid, and it was a truly exceptional experience from start to finish! Our server, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was absolutely delicious, and the presentation was top-notch. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and the menu had something for everyone. friendly and attentive service made the evening even more enjoyable—nothing was too much trouble! I’ll definitely be returning and recommending Giggling Squid to friends and family. Thank you for an unforgettable dining experience!

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

We had great waiters last night Georgia & Ben, they were very attentive & kind. My partner also disliked his meal from personal preference and the manager kindly changed his meal for him with no extra charge. The food was lovely and we even took home the leftovers to eat today! Thank you GS for a great night :-)

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

A lovely lunch with delicious food and attentive staff, as always. Everyone’s favourite restaurant. See you next time!

Excellent ambiance. Food and service was outstanding. Travelled 60 miles to come here and very much worth it. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the food . Definitely recommend

Really great menu with extensive vegetarian and vegan options

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.

Takeaways are never the same as eating in. But after a long day I didn’t fancy collecting. Opting for deliveroo. It was by no means cheap and probably the most expensive Thai I have ever ordered. I was surprisingly impressed. Veg Massaman, coconut rice, red chicken curry, Tom yum rice all a hit! Just a bit more veg/potato in both curries would have deserved a higher score. Keen to now return and dine in. Well Done!

Visiting our son and his partner in High Wickham. I loved this restaurant! It was bright and clean. My mobility scooter wasn’t a problem once we were shown a more accessible entrance! The staff. were wonderful, very chatty and helpful. I enjoyed the food. We had. a shared starters, which was like a mini tasting menu. The beef was just amazing and I liked the variety. The portions were good and my fish main was excellent. We had a wonderful evening and felt very well looked after.

Food was poor. Sorry but it was. Reads so well but just not great. Pepper squid was good. Papaya salad wasn’t. Masaman curry was supposedly chicken but lacked chicken! I’m sorry I can’t remember name of beef dish on specials but it was awful. Tasted like fatty beef in gravy. No idea what cut it was but deeply unpleasant. Service was really basic. Had to keep asking - for drinks, to order. Felt like an effort. It’s a pretty restaurant. I’m trying to find the positives but really struggling.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Arrived at the restaurant, service was slow. Our starters arrived, we ordered a sharing platter for starters. Half the wings were cold, half were warm.. the salt and pepper squid had no taste, apart from oil and were inedible. They forgot 1 of our dishes when the mains arrived. We had to ask for drinks twice, when someone finally arrived with them. Even when we asked for the bill, we had a long wait again. We feel that standards have gone down, as we use to come often. Would not come back again or recommend.

Great service! Food beautiful! Been a few times here but came last wed for my daughters birthday and must say was prob the best one so far! Our waiter Ben was so thoughtful… he must of overheard it was her birthday so did a cake with candles as a surprise! Very thoughtful and very observant! Thank you to him and his team please. Highly recommend.

Great food great service Charlotte she is very professional and helpful

This particular branch is so pretty. Beautiful decor throughout. My friend and I had a lovely meal here. We shared the Street Food platter and it was so tasty, paired with complimenting dipping sauces. We also shared the prawn and soft shell crab curry. Wow, the seafood was so tasty and lightly coated in batter. The curry sauce was lovely and it packs a punch! A very enjoyable dining experience plus the service was exceptional.

The food was absolutely delicious and they catered really well for a severe tree nut and peanut allergy.

This is a great Thai restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. Had the squid starter which had the most tasty green sauce. It’s a must. The batter was light and crunchy but in a good way. The “yummy” duck rolls were also nice and had a rich sauce to accompany. The meal was off to a good start. I then had the king prawn pad Thai which was very very tasty. I loved it. Great balance of flavours and textures. As good as I’ve tasted outside of Asia. Service was good, asked about my allergies. Nice decor but maybe needs some background music or something? Chairs were comfy. Would go again!

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!

Pretty good. attentive staff, great food and nice ambience to the restaurant.I had the pad Thai with a side of chilli squid.Reccomended.

Great food, great cocktails, and great service.

What an amazing experience. Can't fault it. Thank you for an amazing experience and excellent food

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!! 👎🏻

Absolutely superb! Looking forward to returning.

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.

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 don't 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 can't recommend this place highly enough. Hot, piping, delicious food, good portions and wonderful, attentive service. We'll be returning to the Giggling Squid.

We love the giggling squid and have to say the staff here know what they are serving. Sadly the Windsor branch didn't know the menu so well. Staff were friendly, proactive and served us quickly. Very quiet at mid day but had just opened. The white chocolate matcha cheese cake is delicious! Despite it's £8 price tag.

Visited the restaurant on a Saturday evening with a friend. We’d heard good things about Giggling Squid and were looking forward to the dining experience. Enjoyed a drink in the bar before being shown to our table . Service was good and the food did not disappoint. Unfortunately on returning home later that evening I became unwell and vomited a couple of times. The following day I continued to feel unwell with a headache and nausea. I emailed the restaurant and explained what I had eaten that evening and what had happened when I returned home. The manageress telephoned me and told me that I would need to complete a form before the matter could be taken further. The form was emailed to me but could not be completed on line. Also it would need to be either scanned or returned via the post. Nobody dines out in the expectation of falling ill. Nor does anyone expect to pay for the pleasure! It would have been good PR for the restaurant to have refunded me immediately rather than ask me to complete a form which seemed like a delaying tactic on their part. I did not receive a follow up call either which confirms my thought that they were hoping I would not pursue my complaint. I won’t be visiting the restaurant again.

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

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

Really lovely evening. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food absolutely delicious. Would recommend to others to try this place.

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

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 GS's but this experience was bad enough to not go back to this branch again. I would call it overpriced mediocrity. staff - good!

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

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.

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

Arrived at 7.00 pm and shown straight to table. Busy with families and couples. Starters were satay chicken, sticky chicken wings and pork belly. Absolutely superb, very tasty and decent portions. The dressings were good enough to lick the plate. Mains of beef curry and stir fried chicken with cashew nuts, noodles and coconut rice. All very tasty and clean plates followed. Great atmosphere and friendly happy service. Definitely recommend this venue for tasty and quality food !!!!

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.

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

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

Quick service, good portions, nice atmosphere and staff was super friendly! 150£ for 4 people. Almost everything was excellent except for two things. Starter: Crispy Squid Bits it was super dry and 70% flour 30% squid. The dessert Melting Heart Chocolate Dessert was very disappointing as it didn't have any "melting heart" it was more like a brownie (?)

Fantastic food and service. Great place 👌

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 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!!!

Lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere. Have been a few times - it's always buzzy with attentive and knowledgeable staff. The food is delicious and beautifully presented - haven't had a bad dish. The Samui Zingy Prawns are a particular favourite! Would definitely recommend this restaurant - excellent Thai food and good value.

They still had the lunch option at 4.30pm on a wet and chilly Tuesday. Red chicken curry with jasmine rice and a glass of ginger beer is exactly what I needed. I’ll be going back again and again.

Best food I have ever had. Nice and friendly staff. Definitely recommend for nice time out

A really lovely lunch. Great deal on tasty and varied dishes all part of the lunchtime special. The Samui Zingy Prawns were exceptionally nice and spicy. A lovely atmosphere and bright space for lunch!

To celebrate a family member’s special birthday we went last night ( 16th March). From the moment we arrived to the time we left EVERYTHING was superb!! We had a waiter called Ben who was very knowledgeable on various foodie questions, excellent personality and super efficient. Then the food! (Thai happens to be my favourite ) and it was faultless. A truly great evening.

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

Great place loved it 👍 sweet chilli chicken is great 👍

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 wasn't 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.

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

What a lovely restaurant. Good menu food tasted awesome

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 hadn't 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 couldn't 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.

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.

Great for lunch time taster dishes

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 service, delicious food. Staff very attentive

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.

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.

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

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

Food was amazing and the service was second to none.

Great menu and great food in a beautiful environment

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! 😊

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

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.

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 didn't they check before seating other guests there?

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.

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.

Was here for a family meal we come here all the time but last time wasn't the best but that's preference do banging food most of the time

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

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.

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.

One of my favourite thai restaurant so far .

brilliant food, lovely manager 😃
