Giggling Squid has opened its latest restaurant at The Old Library at 2 Wheeler Street, the venue behind the Guildhall that was home to the Jamie Oliver restaurant Jamie’s Italian, until earlier this year.

It now features striking floral decor designed by Giggling Squid’s co-founder, Thai-born Pranee Laurillard.

Pranee said: “Thai mealtimes are energetic, informal, adventurous and where food is celebrated. It’s relaxed and there’s no standing on ceremony.

“We simply want people to have a great time over something tasty! Every Giggling Squid has my own personal touch to it, and this restaurant is no different; it’s a spectacular space that we hope will bring a lot of pleasure to our guests.

“We can’t wait to welcome everyone.”

Among the new dishes on offer will be butternut boat and three flavour sea bass, and the restaurant promises to offer banquets to fit in with the Thai tradition of offering plentiful dishes to share.
