A NEW Thai restaurant is set to open in Brentwood.

Giggling Squid is expected to introduce its signature cuisine to Brentwood’s High Street in early April.

Having established a loyal following throughout the country since 2002 with its brilliant combination of bold Thai flavours and authentic cooking techniques, Giggling Squid will open for lunch and dinner, with room for up to 100 guests, in a relaxed yet stylish setting.

Owned by Thai-born Pranee Laurillard and her husband Andrew, Giggling Squid - the nickname of one of their three children - was founded in the basement of a tiny fisherman’s cottage, now the Brighton restaurant, where dreams of replicating a little taste of home became a reality.

The opening times for the new restaurant are as follows Monday to Thursday – 12 midday till 10pm, Friday and Saturday – 12 midday till 10.30pm, Sunday – 12-9.30pm.
