Went back to the Giggling Squid in Hove after its recent refurb. They've kept all the nice stuff (i.e. the food) and revamped all the other stuff (i.e. the fixtures and fittings). Still feels nice and bistro-ey though and it's deceptively large so you can fit bigger parties in there comfortably. The chicken satay remains among the best on the south coast and the Massaman - a mild, peanut curry - is gorgeous (though it's a shame this is chicken or lamb shank only, rather than beef). Staff are lovely and it's got a wine list that doesn't make you gasp when the bill comes round. All in all the Giggling Squid is a hit, a palpable hit. Recommended.
