Giggling Squid Beaconsfield in South Bucks - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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?

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.

Great service and the food was absolutely Brilliant!! 💯

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 😃

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

My favourite thai place lives up to price and standard

Excellent experience, nice ambience and awesome food.

Very nice food, well priced in pleasant surroundings

Splendid stuff & enjoyable atmosphere ✨

Lovely place to eat, food amazing 😋

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.

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.

Lovely food in a friendly environment

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

Great food! great atmosphere! The lunch tapas really delicious

Tried for the first time. Nice place good service

Very attentive service, delicious food and a good atmosphere.

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

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

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

Hands down the Best Thai food chain in UK!

I love the food at the Giggling Squid but it was the service which really made the meal. One of the funniest waiters I've 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.

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!

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

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

Wonderful food & great customer service! Will visit again.

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

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!

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Just had a fantastic meal in this restaurant for a friend's 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.

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.
