The Giggling Squid Cookbook: Tantalising Thai Dishes to Enjoy Together

Product Information

Located on Howardsgate with its lovely gardens and eateries, we’re minutes from Welwyn Garden City station and The Howard Centre and within a short drive of the Welwyn Roman Baths and Stanborough Park. 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. 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.

If you have any allergen and intolerance concerns please consult this even if you’ve eaten with us before as our recipes can change. Applying a service charge to the bill allows us to operate a transparent and fair system as it gets shared across the entire team including kitchen porters, runners, chefs and servers – rewarding everyone who has been involved in the guest’s experience. We’re 5 minutes’ walk from the Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds so if you’re catching a show, why not book an early table and treat yourself to a Thai curry or noodles before you go on to enjoy the performance? Learn the secrets of their classic and sharing dishes and cook them at home for family and friends and entertain a crowd with a delicious spread of tasty Thai delights.Our bold, botanical decor and mouthwatering menus are inspired by Thailand’s ingredients from the sea and land. 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. As a multi-site restaurant group, it is essential for us to have a well-defined and implemented energy management policy that guides our operations team, conserves energy and reduces our environmental impact. If you have an up and coming booking, you will be contacted directly by the restaurant manager – our apologies for any inconvenience this cancellation may cause. Plus exciting chapters inspired by the latest exciting addition to the restaurant menu - breakfasts and light meals and a special drinks section with spicy teas and zingy cocktails and mocktails.

It all started in a tiny Fisherman’s cottage (now our Brighton restaurant) where the first menu was dreamt up.The Giggling Squid Cookbook is a celebration of Thai food from the much loved restaurants famous for their Thai tapas and beautifully designed bold vibrant interiors. It’s with a heavy heart that we’re letting you know we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close our Alderley Edge Giggling Squid.
