Went for lunch with my mum and a friend!! Food is absoueltly delicious. When it arrives the portions may look a little small but once out the bowl you realise how much there is and how filling it is! Food is fantastic and brillant cost!!! It's a must try

We went on 24 April for our second visit to the Giggling Squid Farnham , and once again we enjoyed a fantastic meal with great service . The menu is varied , it is not same old menu that many Thai restaurants have gone down. The seafood dishes are brilliant especially the Seabass Cha. We really like the different dishes - including the new Pad Thai with Giant Prawns - and importantly our 11&14 year old lived it too without really worrying that they would bite into a crazy hot chilli!!



Definitely will return in the future with friends

We went here yesterday for the 1st time to celebrate Motherโ€™s Day and what a fab choice ... great location, gorgeous decor and OMG the food is amazing!! We were sat upstairs and it felt more like a quaint home than a restaurant which was nice and relaxing! No one was on top of you and it was not noisy at all ... nice to go somewhere you can actually talk and enjoy the food than feeling like the need for shouting or that you are almost sharing food and space with the next table ๐Ÿ˜ƒ the menu and descriptions made us smile as some have a little story behind them. An array of choices and some you may not have tried before at a Thai restaurant ... like the lamb shank - a real recommendation if you like lamb ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ for the staters we had Tamarind prawns (so fresh), spring rolls and duck larb (a little dry and not packed with as much flavour as anticipated) ... 4 portions of each. For the mains we had crispy chicken that actually does taste like popcorn chicken (as per the description ๐Ÿ˜Š), Paneang chicken (red curry), exotic mushroom gra pao (mixture of exotic mushrooms) veg phad thai ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜‹ jasmine rice, sticky rice and pad khing veg (mixture of veg) packed with flavour ... infact it was all full of flavour! A good varied choice for vegetarians and vegans too ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ so if you havenโ€™t gathered, we loved the restaurant ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜‹ will DEFINITELY be going back!

Only slight niggle if I had to give one is that initially it took us a while to get the waiter/waitresses attention, so had to wait a while for drinks and then to order starters, etc.. but eventually they were on top it ... it just gave us more time to talk and take photos in the beginning โ˜บ๏ธ

Visited the Farnham restaurant for the first time for Sunday lunch. Very easy to book online, booked at 11am for a table at 1.15pm. Upon arrival shown immediately to our table by friendly staff. Drinks and food ordered promptly, with drinks arriving in a few minutes and the food in about 15 minutes, which was impressive as the restaurant was nearly full. We chose two of the "Tapas Sets" and a couple of extra side dishes. The food was plentiful, fresh and hot and tasted excellent. Service was efficient and attentive and we had absolutely no problem with the prices, which were very good value or a 10% service charge being added. Will definitely make this restaurant a regular haunt and recommend to family and friends.

OMg! What a beautiful place! Fantastic decor, perfectly lit, not cramped, just perfect!

And the food! Well......its out of this world! AND so much of it! I would recommend sharing most of the dishes as they are enormous. We ordered a dish each and it was WAY too much! Which pushed the price up considerably but hey!, next time we will share nicely :)

Food is awesome, but I actually enjoy the lunch time tapas, rather than the larger dinner portions, itโ€™s better value. Great flavours and lovely attentive staff.

First visit yesterday with my hubby. Loved the decor. Wasnโ€™t busy at all but at least tables not on top of one and other.

We had a lunch platter. I had giggling squid 1. It was lovely however I thought the duck was quite dry and didnโ€™t taste any honey. hHubby had the hungry squid and although the Thai curry was very hot for him he enjoyed it. Dessert was gorgeous a choc mousse yum. Staff were attentive and polite

Would definitely go back

Everything about the Giggling Squid is excellent! The food, the service, the building, the choice....all excellent , and the prices are very reasonable for such a quality restaurant...my family love this place.

User

Celebrated our wedding anniversary at the weekend here. Amazing food, great service, location is perfect we can't wait to go back!

User

Can even here for dinner last night and had an amazing experience! Seated quickly and drinks arrived promptly and so did our food! Considering they were fully booked and very busy the food was served quickly and was lovely! Our waiter was a young American man who was fantastic! Would highly recommend the lamb shank massaman curry!! Only downside is that the service charge is already added on, I would have actually tipped more than what was added on and like to make he decision bases on my experience!! Would definitely come again and recommend to anyone!

Really interesting that early reviews are poor and the more recent reviews seem to be better so perhaps just some teething problems. We had a really lovely evening. The food and drinks came quickly. It was all delicious. The manager was excellent and very attentive. It did however feel like the service was a little disjointed with multiple people taking orders and serving. It would have been an even better experience if we had had one person looking after us all evening. All in all though - great!

We arrived last night and thought it was lovely inside, seated quickly. Drinks order taken and arrived promptly. Ordered a starter and it came 30 minutes after ordering. Mains came and they seemed to take way too long as well. The food was nice. Different staff coming and going from the table and being asked 3 times if our meal was ok by 3 different people is a little off putting. Asked for the bill twice from two different people... that also seemed to take its time so much so we started to pop our coats on before anyone noticed.

The food was ok... for the price of ยฃ68 for two people is over priced and I only had far better in London last week with a great Thai restaurant. Service change shouldn't be added, I will tip if I feel service is worthy of it and frankly it wasn't. I won't be rushing back to eat here which is a really shame as I love Thai food and very excited to be trying this place out.

Service was friendly and polite. Food was fairly poor. My dish was bland. No flavour. Side dish of egg noddles were very greasy. Was very overpriced I felt. Also no where to hang your coat so half of it was on the floor!

Within 5 minutes the waitress had spilt water all over my wife and friend. Didn't offer a towel so they could dry themselves so had to sit in wet clothes the whole night. The waitress was miserable. It took 45 minutes from us getting our starter to us getting our mains and that was only because I had to ask the waitress for our food. The food had no taste to it very bland. We had to chase the waitress for more drinks. Considering the restraunt wasn't very busy the service was terrible. I would not recommend going here. If you want a good Thai restraunt go to Thai terrace in Guildford they know how to make good food and the service is always amazing.

Went to the Giggling Squid with my wife for dinner. Sadly, we arrived just after 9 and by 10.45 no mains had arrived. Drink order was wrong 3 times. Starter sharing platter was quite nice. Two other couples who arrived after us had received their mains by 10.30. We gave up, as had a cab booked for 11. Nice enough people but really pretty poor. Removing service from the bill was probably not sufficient a gesture but causing a scene was not the way to end our evening out. Damp Squib not Giggling Squid.

Was enjoyable as was with good friend but food not as good as one in Marlow.

Not hot enough, waiter left us to unscrew bottle of our wine and lighting felt too bright.

Cheeky to put tip on for 2 people.

Good but room for improvement for the price charged...

User

Forgot our ticket so 1 hour wait, apologetic and didn't charge for coffee. Food was mediocre, felt like the chef hadn't tasted the food. Under seasoned red curry and overly spiced salad with too much fish sauce. Lovely ambience and surroundings, reasonably priced. Would give it another try.
