This site was once a large marsh, fed by the River Great Ouse, but in the 1950s gravel extraction created a series of small lakes and pools which survives today. The gravel was mainly used in road and industrial construction, but today the old gravel pits are home to an abundance of wildlife, flora and fauna; a magical place for all of us to enjoy.
Gravel pits often lie in river valleys, and naturally become home to vibrant flora & fauna. Whilst you won't find those on the menu you will find vibrant flavours, which are locally sourced and carefully put together by our head chef...
Great drinks, a stylish environment and even better views. Our drinks menu is extensive, encompassing a wide range of gins, cocktails, lagers and wines. Can't decide? Our team are here to help you pick your poison should you need a hand.
With over 30 years of experience, a fantastic setting, The Gravel Pit is the vibrant environment which is great for a variety of occasions. Lunching with friends, dinner with loved ones, drinks with the girls, or simply a break from your workday soaking up the views over the East Lake.
