hahahahhahahahaha!

Otto, change the title of the thread to "I just "did" Gambardos with a hangover...." and I'd understand why it was such hell. Without the hangover, it's only hell in the shellsuit sense. For kids, without the sociological snobbery, it's heaven.

I love Gambados - but have to remember not to wear a skirt each time I go and to put the girls in leggings (they go faster down the slides) :)


It's like a workout with a bit of *ahem* legitimate fun clambering after our munsters.


I do agree that it's a bit much at busy times and def wouldn't try it with a hangover - but is the best around here I think.


Kew Gardens also has a fun inside space if you want it slightly less frenetic (approx 40 mins drive).


It's the food at Gambados that I found really grim, and that parents stick their stuff on all the available chairs- whether they are eating or not, so you have to clamber over everything to try and find an 'unused' seat, while trying to get kids to sit at a table, and carry the food... grrrr.

Midivydale there is an under threes area but I personally wouldn't bother until baby I is s bit older. It's so huge and noisy baby E was overwhelmed in spite of enjoying lots of rough Iplay from little E and being confident crawler/cruiser. He didn't enjoy it much. Plus the coffee is horrid and service at the cafe is awful. Try Peckham Pulse, smaller, closer and cheaper!

Don't get me wrong, for the kids it's amazing, but even hangover free I think I'd still find it hellish, it's just the noise.

We did Gambado's a few wks back - because it was so hot the place was really empty (according to staff).

Mr Buggie & I alternated 1/2hr shifts with Bugglet while the other sat, read the papers & chilled - was first time since having her that I was able to read all the papers in 1 day :)


Kid's lunchboxes were good, but the adult food was rubbish (tolerable because Bugglet was so entertained!).

    • Yes, we have a Casio CT-S100 we no longer need, except I dont think we have the headphones any more. It has a USB connection. £50? https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7333639
    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.
