  “I just had a fantastic meal that really ticked all the boxes! The food and drinks were top-notch, and the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. I loved how the staff made me feel cared for and showed genuine vegan menu knowledge. It was great getting recommendations for drinks and being offered dessert too – it felt like a real treat. Honestly, I couldn't think of anything to improve; everything was perfect!”

  “Nice food, pleasant staff. Not really authentic Thai food but very tasty all the same. The place is comfortable and clean and the service was prompt and efficient. Prices are slightly higher than we would have expected.”

  “I had the best experience at the giggling squid in Warwick. From the moment we stepped in the door my sisters and I had the best time. Staff were super helpful with meal choices and very friendly. The food came very quick as we were heading to Warwick Castle for a show. The restaurant is so beautiful and it was a pleasure to sit and enjoy the meal. Even the drinks were delicious and looked gorgeous. I can definitely recommend the sticky chicken and fried chickpeas. Will definitely be coming again, maybe even for my best friends hen do! Thanks, Warwick 😅🦑”

  “Amazingly gracious and rapid service and the food was all fresh, vibrant and full of citrus. Very quiet on a Friday early evening but that just meant we had excellent and attentive waiting staff and could hear each other talk, which was nice. Definitely worth a visit, and the prices were super reasonable too.”

  “I recently hosted by sisters baby shower here with 32 people. We had the whole basement to ourselves with our own dedicated member of staff. We were allowed to decorate the space as we wanted and had a selection of all the menus including 2 and 3 course set ones. The food was amazing, meeting the same standard we get when we go as a small table, and he staff could not have been more incredible at helping up organising and during the day. It made the whole experience so easy and my sister absolutely loved it. Would highly recommend for larger parties and gatherings.”

  “A catchy name and a really lovely interior The menu offers a good selection of Thai dishes, with enough variety for different tastes. We started with the Salt & Pepper Squid, which was okay — decent flavour but nothing standout. For mains, the Massaman Curry was extremely tasty. The Giggling Pad Thai was fair, enjoyable but not particularly memorable. The Marinated Steak & Crispy Slow-Cooked Beef dish had great flavour, however, for something described as “slow-cooked,” I expected the meat to be more tender; it was slightly chewier than it should be. To finish, the lava cake was very, very good — rich, warm, and delicious. If you add to this couple of drinks (wine and beer) you can get arround 100£...”

  “Thai food is defo not my go to food choice, so when I was invited along as part of a work group to this restaurant I was wary of what my experience would be. But given this is in my home town and this place is often so busy set just on the high street I gave it a go. The first thing I would say is how pretty the restaurant is. They always have an amazing way of lighting up the main entrance from the street which at this time of year in the run up to xmas looks great, and inside it does not disappoint. There is a spacious array of seating and with stunning decorations and a really welcoming atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful enabling us as a group to get settled and order drinks ahead of everyone arriving. Menu has a good selection of starters and mains, with lots to offer. That said I did struggle to find pure vegetarian only options as most dishes have either fish, chicken or beef content. The group chose to grab some sharing starters which came out in huge baskets and looked very impressive together with a series of dipping sauces. The veg spring rolls were excellent as were the sauces and my colleagues richly enjoyed the squid and meats. Equally the side dish of chick peas which were fried were surprisingly good as a snack too. I chose the chicken & mustard main course in the end which was in a coconut sauce with veg. Was very tasty and filling. All of the dishes others had ordered looked well presented and were quickly eaten such was the enjoyment. The temptation of a chocolate melt in the middle pudding with ice cream, perhaps not too Thai I know was too great to miss and was lush. Overall, this was a pleasant surprise for someone that has always avoided Thai food. Not sure it will be my go to choice of foods but that said the experience was very nice, and for those in the group that enjoy this cuisine they loved it. Restaurant is in Warwick town centre, so lots of street parking, most of which if not free after 5pm will require Ringo payment. Free Wi-FI in the restaurant was very welcome as phone signals in the town are not great.”

  “Visiting Warwick, I'm glad we went to the Giggling Squid for our first meal! Great and fast service. The food was delicious and you must leave room for dessert! 🍛 My Paneang Curry was delicious! Well balanced, not too spicy and the coconut milk eased off the heat. 🥮The caramelised mango cake with vanilla ice-cream was a perfect ending to my meal. Not too sweet and not sickly at all! Thank you so much! Keep up the amazing work! 👏🏼”

  “Food was delicious so much so I came back second time in 2 weeks. I even had the same main, highly recommend the Hake. Fresh, different and tasty. Service from everyone was lovely too bar first waitress we encountered who gave us a table near the entrance but prior had already arranged for window seat and even adjusted timing to fit in. She dismissively said the window seat area was booked. However someone else took over and sorted us out. This can impact the experience but as everything else was so good, it still deserves 5 stars”
