About this deal
We are committed to conserving energy and are working to reduce energy consumption in our sites by 5% by the end of 2024 through a variety of ways such as investing in and utilising energy efficient equipment, investing in energy monitoring systems, educating our teams in energy conservation and working and supporting suppliers to minimise their own carbon footprint. As part of the policy we pledge to comply with all relevant regulatory requirements, continually improve and reduce our environmental impact, incorporate environmental factors into business decisions and increase employee awareness and training.
My mum bought this for me as part of Jólabókaflóð (Icelandic Book Flood for intensive reading time) that we have added to our holiday traditions.
One of our larger restaurants, our Beaconsfield Giggling Squid offers a spacious but welcoming interior inspired by the fresh, exotic Thai ingredients from land and sea that feature in our authentic, flavourful dishes. Husband and wife co-founders Pranee and Andy started Giggling Squid out of a determination to bring the buzz of Thai mealtimes to the UK – energetic, informal, adventurous and welcoming. Our kitchen appliances are all high-grade energy rating A+ and above and our teams are trained to reduce water wastage, for example by ensuring taps are not left on unnecessarily.
Our Beaconsfield restaurant is spacious, spreading across two floors but with plenty of quieter, intimate spaces which make it perfect for a dinner with friends or even a lunchtime business meeting over a meal. We know we still have a little way to go, and we continue to look at options that are kinder to the environment. For something more intimate, a table under our romantic pergola creates a wonderful date night setting! Following the end of the lockdown period, this discount is no longer running but we’ve been made aware that there are several scams currently claiming to offer Giggling Squid NHS discounts.Our intensive training programme for all restaurant staff covers sustainability and the initiatives we have in place. We have an allergens guide identifying all the allergens in our dishes which you can access via a QR code or you can ask our staff for a printed copy. Thai tapas starters star signature dishes G olden Money Bags, Sweet Jicama Salad, Candy Pork with Pineapple and Grilled Squid with Garlic.
Every year we bring out a new festive menu with a Thai twist for anyone who fancies an alternative to tired turkey and soggy sprouts! During lockdown we were delighted to offer a discount for NHS staff when dining in at Giggling Squid restaurants. Those which contain gluten will be indicated with a G in the menu but it’s really important that you check our allergen guide to make sure your chosen dish doesn’t contain traces.
