I wanted to find something that would very subtly represent Thai without being a cliche or too obvious. Something that people wouldn’t expect, so we put a gazebo with flowers inside the historic Norwich restaurant and the ideas developed from there. That made me think to mix the historic buildings we buy with some fresh surprising ideas.
I walked around the cathedral and I kind of liked the way they mixed the old and the new very well. Pranee: It started with the cathedral in Norwich. How can we really name one? They are all amazing! Cambridge has amazing architecture inside but I also have really fond memories of sitting outside Brighton with my baby son many years ago, and I still love going back. What’s your favourite restaurant to visit? I couldn’t quite believe people were so interested in little old us. The launch was really busy too with so many turning up. When we took the building, the inside was all concrete like a car park and we transformed it into something stunning. I remember the vibe in Chichester really clearly. What has been your favourite restaurant launch? And the jicama salad as it’s crunchy, fresh, light and flavoursome.ģ. Pranee: That’s like choosing a favourite child! Okay, we both love the betal leaf and ginger lime salmon morsels. I wanted to set my own trend and not just follow what other people had done.

I wanted to create a different Thai vibe, not like the rest of Thai restaurants full of carved wood like a temple. Pranee: It was the opportunity to be different. What inspired you to create Giggling Squid? We sat down with them to find out in 20 questions, the giggling good, bad and the rest!ġ. In 2002 they huddled together in the basement of a little fisherman’s cottage (now our Brighton restaurant!) and devised a plan to bring the true Thai mealtime buzz to the UK. It’s been 20 years since co-founders and owners, Andy and Pranee first dreamt up their Thai tapas menu that’s still so popular on the Giggling Squid menu today.
