My partner and I went this evening for a date night and we were not disappointed! The decor and atmosphere is lovely and chilled out, lots of staff on hand to help you and they check on you which is nice! It was our first time so we were given recommendations on drinks etc which was handy. Food was beautiful. We ordered a couple of starters as a meal - I would highly recommend the pork belly, we also had the Royal Fishing Boat Curry which was really nice and we'd also recommend. Overall, such a nice evening and we will definitely be back.

Came here to celebrate an early Christmas meal with friends. We were warmly greeted when we arrived. Our server was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. The food was delicious and came timely. We were sat at the glasshouse and it got a bit chilly at times despite the outdoor heaters but overall, it was an excellent dining experience and would definitely recommend. Thank you for the delightful evening.

We had such a perfect meal at Giggling Squid The place is very beautifully decorated and has a nice vibe. The food was incredible! We had 5 starters (squid, prawns, spring rolls, satay chicken, crispy mushrooms) and 5 different curries for mains (melting beef, red and green curries, the royal fishing boat curry, and the sticky chicken). We shared everything so got to taste all the different dishes and literally everything was either good or amazing! Fresh flavours and steaming hot food. We finished with some desserts which were also great! The tres leches cake was a winner for desserts and the salt and pepper squid, sticky chicken, and prawns green curry were our favourite dishes. Staff were very friendly and attentive and made sure our meal was thoroughly enjoyed. We’ll definitely be back again!
