Is Giggling Squid halal?
Chicken and lamb are halal at every UK branch, with a no-cross-contamination policy — but beef and pork are served (not halal), and the Sticky Chicken is cooked with wine.
Giggling Squid, the Thai tapas chain, has confirmed that the chicken and lamb served across all its UK restaurants is halal, and that a no-cross-contamination policy keeps them separate from the non-halal meats. Two things to know before you go: the menu also serves beef and pork, which are not halal, and one dish — the Sticky Chicken — is cooked with wine. So it's a genuinely usable spot for halal diners as long as you order the halal chicken or lamb dishes, skip the Sticky Chicken, and avoid the beef and pork.

Common questions
Is Giggling Squid halal?
The chicken and lamb are halal at every UK Giggling Squid, and the kitchen runs a no-cross-contamination policy to keep them separate from other meats. It isn't fully halal, though: the menu also serves beef and pork (not halal), and the Sticky Chicken is cooked with wine — so order the halal chicken or lamb and avoid those.
Is the chicken at Giggling Squid halal?
Yes — the company confirms the chicken is halal across all UK branches, prepared under a no-cross-contamination policy. The one exception is the Sticky Chicken, which is cooked with wine.
Does Giggling Squid serve pork?
Yes — the Thai menu includes pork and beef dishes, which are not halal. Only the chicken and lamb are halal, and the kitchen keeps them separate with a no-cross-contamination policy.
Is the Sticky Chicken at Giggling Squid halal?
No. The chicken itself is halal, but the Sticky Chicken recipe is cooked with wine, so the finished dish isn't halal.
