Great Food
Love this little place, guys work hard, amazing to sit outside during summer time.
Slow service
I’ve been to the Giggling Squid in Winchester a couple times but i’ve just come home from my recent visit quite unhappy. We arrived 10mins before our booking and the manager said it was okay so we got seated at our table. We ordered drinks fine and ordered our starters fine. However, after we finished our starter it took them over an hour for an our food to come. There was a family of 4 across from us that arrived after us and got their starters, mains and deserts all during the time we had been waiting for our mains to come. I have allergies so they said it would take a bit longer than normal so they said dishes made for allergies come out 15mins later which we were fine with. But they took over an hour. So we paid the bill and left hungry. We left feeling disappointed as the service isn’t usually that slow.

Appalling service at giggling squid norwich
Appalling service, very cold restaurant, no atmosphere, sat under a spotlight and flat sparking wine. Extremely expensive, wont be going again
Giggling Squid in Cheltenham
I called the restaurant at just after 20.45, as I didn't know Cheltenham. They said I could come straightaway, and that parking was available just outside their restaurant. The staff were very welcoming, and Sheldon looked after my table and me. He was very polite, asked me about my food, and served me very well too. I ordered the Salt & Pepper Squid for my starter, and I had the Pad Thai Chicken with Prawn. The food was hot, super delicious and just right in flavour and spice. It was my first time eating at GS, and I really enjoyed it. I will eat at a GS near me again, and recommend the Cheltenham one to my colleagues at work tomorrow, thank you 😊

Sent out random meal not one ordered, the prawn curry was not very hot hardly any prawns lots of water sauce and chunks of potatoes, the salt & pepper quid was nice getting 2 stars only because delivery was quick, but curry wasn’t hot as Luke warm . Total waste of money
Great food
Great food. Really enjoyed our meal last night. Service was OK, there was a long wait at times and although the staff was polite they were not particularly friendly
Love giggling squid
Love giggling squid, all the food was delicious and our waiter was really friendly and attentive.
Poor Quality,Won’t be returning
We returned to Winchester restaurant for our wedding anniversary after a fab meal last year. Unfortunately the food quality has changed. The shared starter was Very greasy. The meat was gristly. I ordered the hake dish and my partner the steak. Sauces on both dishes were gloopy and tasted mass produced. It looked as if sauce was slopped on the top of the steak! The quality of both fish and steak were poor for the price. The food came out to table luke warm. Such a shame!! Will not be returning to this restaurant.

Poor flavoured pad thai
The starter platter was nice, when we ordered main course the. Pad thai (chicken) hardly had any flavour to it, was very bland!
Was very disappointed this time , they took over 20mins to bring our food out!
This was the windsor branch!
Giggling Squid in Bury St Edmunds
Visited Giggling Squid in Bury, food and service were excellent. Given 4 star due to 'tip' being applied to the bill without me requesting it, even though we would have tipped I hate it when it's assumed. Will come back again for sure!

Saturday nights delivery was so very poor from GS Tunbridge Wells. Poor quality and poor taste. Such a let down!
The meat/fish dishes were full of horrible tofu with little meat. What a con.
We won’t be ordering from there again!
Giggling Squid - Berkhamstead.
Giggling Squid - Berkhamstead. Pim was our server and her service was professional. Pim was exceptionally friendly and assisted to meet our dietary choices. The food was extremely tasty. Personal preference, such as extra chilli, were catered for speedily and with customer focus.
It was my wife’s birthday and we even received a surprise birthday sweet treat 😊
The Giggling Squid offer exceptional service, fresh-tasting food and personal customer care.
I highly recommend it and we will be visiting again.

Visited the Nottingham Restaurant as a group of 10 people. The restaurant was very busy and noisy, the staff struggled to speak above the noise level and therefore the service was not what you would expect.
The food did not delivery in anyway, the starter portions were poor 5 chicken wings for £7.50 is not good value. The main courses did not arrive all together and in some cases were tepid at best, one of our party received their meal which sore no resemblance to what had been ordered , to be told that they hadn't received a delivery of some of the ingredients, if you don't have the ingredients take of the menu!! The dish was removed from the final bill
On receipt of the bill we were not told about the service charge that had been added and subsequently complained about this to be offered a refund.
Best Thai in Leamington Spa
Polite and informative waitress Lucy was excellent. The service and food was brilliant as usual.
We will be back!
