The Firepit Restaurant & Cocktail Bar (Rawtenstall) in Rossendale

We went for a bottomless brunch absolutely loved it! The service from Deepak was amazing, very quick and attentive!

Great food, great service from Deepak Manjat

Truly excellent lunch. Food was great service was attentive without being overbearing and the location is lovely

I went to the Fire Pit for a meeting, having heard it was a great venue. It did not disappoint. Fabulous place, atmosphere, decor, food, staff. I would imagine a great place in the evenings too.

Really lovely as always ! Nice and quiet on the week. Food always great.

The steak on a stone is delicious 😋 Sirloin, Ribeye, is always great.

Excellent, stylish grill restaurant with an ample nice cocktail bar.. would highly recommend, prices are a little steep, but the food is amazing, no complaints from anyone in our party afterwards.. we chose the place for a birthday celebration, they said we could decorate table before our arrival if needed and said we could bring and consume our own cake on the premises if we wanted to do so. We reserved the Firepit 'table' in Rawtenstall, which made it a little more special and will definitely be back again soon !

Just had lunch today with friends first visit, will definitely be going again. Pleasant staff, good food reasonable price. We were going somewhere else but it was not serving so found the Firepit by accident "a happy accident"

The food was great.. I wasn't too keen on the firepit lager but thats my taste , apart from that it was really excellent..the staff is friendly..

Great food but it all came out at different times. Waitress forgot to ask how we wanted the steaks cooks and what sauces we wanted with our mixed grills. The meat came out then 5 minutes later came the sides then another 5 minutes for the sauces. The place was so noisy that we couldn't hear each other very well.

Decent place been multiple times .it's unusual if there's something bad . Foods good but need to improve some items on the Sunday roast . (Roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese )

As always, the food was fantastic. My wife and I are both doing a Keto diet at the moment and the staff were really accommodating. The Sharing Stone was excellent and my friend had the Baby Back Ribs and they were delicious.

Nice food. Good service. When asking for the bill the staff explained they had added 10% service charge on and asked if we would like to take it off. We often tip, but think it is rude and a bit presumptious for them to put it on on our behalf. It isn't how guests should be treated. Made the payment very awkward and left a bad taste in my mouth. They would do better graciously allowing the customers to give a tip, rather than touting for one.

Lovely night out....Sunday evening but still very busy.

Food lovely and well presented. Our server was a lovely young lad. Really pleasant, excellent customer service from him which did make up for pur wait when being seated

The food was nice. servers are friendly but could do with listening a little better as there were a couple of things wrong with our meals. We decided to just pretend everything was fine after the first mistake as it just seemed easier. Please don't take this as a complaint. Just wanted to be honest in my review. I'd still reccomend Fire Pit to friends. It's hard finding a balance between being a Karen and actually getting what we asked for 😅 - the perils of being British

The food here was absolutely delicious! Every bite was full of flavor, and the presentation was stunning. The service was excellent, making the experience even better.

Disappointing Experience – Wouldn’t Return I had high expectations for The Firepit, especially after hearing good things about the food and atmosphere. Unfortunately, my experience on Valentine’s Day was a disaster from start to finish. Poor organisation, slow service, cold food, and even FOOD POISONING made this an unforgettable night for all the wrong reasons. The Full Experience: I booked a table for four with the Valentine’s special (three courses for £50). Our reservation was for 8:45 PM, but upon arrival, we were told our table wasn’t ready and were sent to the bar upstairs which we received two separate tables, despite booking for four, so we had to awkwardly pull chairs together. We were finally seated — a hour later — and it took another 30 minutes for our starters to arrive, and one was incorrect. It was replaced quickly, but still, not a great start. For the mains. We ordered four steaks, which should have come with hot platters for cooking to preference. One of the platters arrived cold, rather than waiting again, we just shared a working one because we were super hungry. Several starters and desserts were unavailable, and to make things worse, our table was placed right next to the front door, meaning we sat in a draft all night. The desserts were actually decent, though not my first choice since mine was unavailable. When the bill arrived, there was an automatic 10% service charge, which I had removed because the service simply didn’t deserve it. To top everything off, I ended up with food poisoning that kept me up all night. After this experience, I won’t be returning. While the atmosphere seemed nice and others have spoken highly of The Firepit, my visit was nothing but below expectations. I didn’t want to complain on the day and wasn’t going to leave a review however after the food poisoning incident I wanted to make others aware.

The food was pretty good, but service was slow, as there did not seem to be many staff on (though, to be fair, it was a Tuesday evening). Our server was very polite, but it took a long time to get drinks and food, and part of my partners dish was missing with no warning until we pointed it out. There seemed to be a disconnection between FOH and kitchen.

Good place to take any one chilled environment nice staff good parking amazing food

Excellent steak!! Great wine selection. We will be back

Food ok Service bit rubbish had to clean my own table after each bit of food poor cocktail selection

Been to both firepits now and have a great experience both times.

Absolute disgrace for Xmas dinner,service was horrendous,50 min wait for drinks, mediocre food,avoid at all costs !!!!

Had a very good birthday tea, food & cocktails were great and Roxi was an attentive server

Fantastic place to eat, friendly staff, great food at reasonable prices in nice atmosphere.

Christmas day 2024 . No atmosphere , cold and draughty table .average food Upset and distraught serving staff . If you charge top rates you need to deliver the service . No management on site . Will not return . Spoilt our Christmas day . Basic email full of excuses received Not even an apology . Don't waste your money .

Very,very good food. Staff dealt with us extremely courteously..we had a group booking of 9/10. All orders were hot and delicious..very clean place,wonderful place to dine out in Rawtenstall. 2/3 of our party are vegetarian..halloumi is so tasty..presented on a stand..halloumi,sweetcorn wheels,chilli jam with side wrap,salad and fries. Am assured meat dishes were excellent.

Came on NYE and a woman who said she was the owner was so rude and ruined our night. She came and sat at our table then shouted at my friend for asking who she was. Acting all big and mighty saying do you know who I am, I'm the owner ect. We shortly left after this as she kept looking over and we felt so awkward. We was also disappointed paying £20 for an okay band and a dj downstairs where there was only about 5 people down there. We then paid £25 at the bar for 2 double drinks which shocking. Being as close as it was to midnight we kind of had no choice but to stay till the countdown.

Food was lovely and Kyle went above and beyond to make our night a memorable one.

Very good atmosphere and delicious food!

Oh my goodness, gorgeous 😍 hot stone steak.. beautiful ❤️

Had a lovely first time experience. Food was amazing, steak cooked perfectly. Our server Kyle made sure our glasses were never empty and checked in with us to make sure everything was good with the food. Will definitely be visiting again!

Our food was really nice had the hanging chicken and chicken burger , cocktail were very good with speedy service from Kyle, never been before but will definitely be returning .🙂

We had the hot stone sharer, it was awesome. Kyle’s service was great 🙌🏻

Kyle was our server, we had a lovely meal surrounded by beautiful atmosphere and great service. Thank you Kyle for making our night so special.

Really disappointed - used to come here a lot and used to be lovely did not have the same experience this time. We were not given cutlery and had to ask both times for starters and mains. Starters were lovely but for the mains none of us were asked how we wanted our steak cooked unfortunately they were brought out well done. Also the smoke from the ‘steak on a stone’ from another table filled the room and was just all around horrible. None of the staff cared at all and made it really clear. Overall an expensive and disappointing experience :( sad as it used to be so nice

Me and my family came for out Christmas meal this year and Laila our server has been absolutely amazing, she had worked so hard and made sure we enjoyed our Christmas meal and was so quick to ensure everything was okay with our food! Her service is impeccable and should be applauded! Big thank you to Laila for making our Christmas memorable and we hope you enjoy the time you can spend with your family too!

Food was absolutely shocking. All steaks were stone cold, the chicken on the hanging kebab was cheap chewy chicken that you could barely cut with a butchers knife. On top of that they also cocked up the entire order and forgot our starters, they then offered to give us our starters as deserts (still having to pay) until we said it's unacceptable. The lad who cocked it up was stood at the bar laughing about the whole situation. After we refused to take the starters as a desert they then threw a hissy fit about it all. Didn't offer any sort of compensation for the crap inedible food or the major cock up. Overall way too expensive for the quality, if you want a good steak or meal please avoid this place and go a local cuisine as these people do not know how to deal with customers or situations.

Cannot fault the food here, always fantastic and a big fan of the steak on a stone. Unfortunately the service does let this place down especially duding lunch time. We waited 15 minutes for our drink order to be taken, and when they came to take our food order another 15 minutes later we still didn’t have our drinks. It’s a massive shame because the first 30 minutes let down the entire ambiance for us.

Laila was our waitress for the evening and she was great, very polite and helpful. Nothing was too much to ask and we felt looked after for our special meal. Great food quality but felt the added service charge on the was a bit much. If I wanted to leave a tip I would but having £200+ meal and automatically having a large service charge added makes me less inclined to pay it! I think the service charge should NOT be added to the total and then a question once I know the full total of my meal as the service charge being automatically added makes the total slightly deceiving.

Staff very friendly, but as expected, very busy, so very noisy

Absolutely the best steak we have had in a long time, fabulous service and atmosphere

Really nice place. Enjoyed the food.

Bit pricey but food was excellent

good service from Hermione & Kyle and food was great

Was our first time visiting and it was fab! Came for our son’s 13th birthday and couldn’t have celebrated any better if we tried! Great food and lovely staff and BIG shout out to Hermione and Kyle you guys were fab!

Food lovely 😍 I had the hanging Kebab which was enormous but delicious.

Love the food here , nice atmosphere ⭐️

Took my son for his 21st birthday. The waiter initially made an error with the drinks order which wasn't a major issue although it seemed to take an excessive length of time to get the correct drinks. Our starters came relatively quickly and were very nice. However, our main courses didn't arrive until we had been in the restaurant for 1.75 hours which is a ridiculous length of time. The cynic in me thinks that this is designed to increase the drink sales. We didn't bother ordering desserts. The bill was over £250 for five of us and I can list several other restaurants in the East Lancs area that offer far more value for money.

Another amazing Sunday roast. Amelia our server was very pleasant and attentive which was a nice addition to the lovely food!

The service from Amelia was top notch. We both had a burger and it was fab. Atmosphere was nice and relaxing. All the food I saw being served looked great. Will deffo visit again.

Lovely meal and music, great service from Beth too 👍

Been here quite a few times, for birthdays and special occasions. Foods amazing, friendly staff and lovely venue, quieter atmosphere during the week, more lively on the weekend. I recommend the stake on a stone 👌

Hermione was a fantastic waitress. Food was amazing

Roxi was very lovely and well mannered, always there to help and never waited a long time.

Lana our waitress was brilliant and couldn't do enough for us

Had a good night our here sampling cocktails (many cocktails!!!) Thanks to Hermione for the service! Great all around (wicked name BTW!!)

Fabulous bottomless brunch with 5 star service from Hermione!

Fab bottomless brunch from Hermione!

Went for dinner and we were well taken care of by Eva. Service was great, and the food was excellent. It’s a little pricey but about right for a steakhouse. Only slight negative was the music being a bit too loud. There was a live DJ on for the restaurant’s 10th birthday. Great night though and will be going again.

Great steak and kebabs 👌🏻 sticky toffee needed more sauce but Eva ensured it came back coated! Great service throughout the night! 🙌🏻

Visited on the off chance during Sunday lunchtime. Restaurant was quite so had no problem getting a table. Food was fantastic! Highlt recommend the 10oz fillet steak on the stone!

Great food and atmosphere. The staff were brilliant.

Booked a table on Monday 15 Oct at 745 and when we arrived the restaurant was quiet, a few tables about but not to busy but it felt cold could be the automatic doors but definitely draughty ,we were sat down and then it took a little while b4 anyone gave us a menu or asked us about drinks which was when I noticed only 1 server on plus a manager and being a chef myself I know about rotas and would totally understand the issues this lovely young man was having but when he asked about taking the service charge off I agreed but service charge on a Monday come on management who you trying to rip off shocking if i had paid it it would have been around 12 pounds behave you get paid like everyone else minimum wage that most of get country get paid what makes this so special that you want extra just for serving and doing there job imagine everyone in different jobs doing that,not for me ,as for the food ,starters ok chips lovely but again just ok no wow factor for me

Nice food… great service from Jasey

Jasey - fantastic waitress. Deserves employee of the month . 10oz ribeye - 👌🏻

Fabulous, nothing more to say .staff was very helpful and friendly 🙂

Always excellent! My favourite foods are steak on a stone and the Sunday Roast is the best I've ever had.

Quality food and an absolute eating experience 5*

Excellent, friendly service from Kyle and great atmosphere, food was delicious

Laila and Roxi have taken care of us brilliantly 👏 we have had a lovely afternoon and the girls couldn't do enough for us 🩷 xxxx

We came for my partners birthday and Eva’s customer service at Rawtenstall was exceptional. Such a lovely, welcoming person who couldn’t do enough. Keep hold of that one

Roxi was very helpful and very willing to go the extra mile to make the meal fantastic on our date night! Thank yoy!

Love coming here. It's my payday fav place to go. Food is fantastic

Had dinner here mid week and was very impressed. Service was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant wasn’t too busy at all and service was quick. Ordered 2 steaks and a few drinks, food was very very good.

Spectacular meal, encountered a minor problem with the food and my server Eva was an amazing help and very attentive and understanding, such a great help ! Will defenitely be requesting Eva as my hostess upon return.

We came out for a celebratory meal and it was everything we didn't know we wanted! The food was gorgeous! Hermione was SO great! Her recommendations were excellent...particularly for the Firepit sauce! She really made our night extra special, such a lovely person! I think we've found a new favourite place!

Great food, great service. Kyle was very helpful. Thanks!

Food was fantastic! 100% recommend! This is the second time coming here and both me and my girlfriend enjoyed it both times. Our waiter Kyle was amazing, he attended to any needs we had and provided great service.

Me and my partner ate here the other night and we were served by Laila. The food was outstanding, we were fit in last minute due to unexpected cancellation of another booking elsewhere and the service was amazing. Cocktails were tasty and well presented without being too flashy. The steak on a stone was amazing. I feel 10 oz may not be enough for next time. Dessert was okay, the mrd had bannoffee cheesecake which was really nice and I had a sticky toffee pudding which was good but nothing to write home about. Overall a really nice experience, guided expertly by our lovely server, Laila. Food was amazing and drinks were great.

Me and wife have been tonight with our children , Everyone had something different off the menu and everything was Brilliant. Service was fantastic from Kyle . I Would highly recommend eating/drinking and we will certainly be going again soon.

Great service by our waiter Kyle :) Friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant.

Delicious food, great value for money on the Thursday 'Date Night' deal

Go to Miller and Carter!! Unfortunately a few issues with the food. Ordered the steak kebab pink, it was cooked through but we didn't complain about this. We had onion rings which were too oily to eat, we did get these off the bill. My real issue was my meal, I ordered the rump steak medium. It came rare and the meat was very gristly. When I told them about this they explained that "it was just the cut of meat, sometimes you get that". I'm sorry, but if I'm paying upwards of £20 for a steak, I expect the restaurant to select the best cuts for me to avoid chewy fat. I left nearly half the steak chewed in tissues on my plate! They didn't offer me any concession for the steak and I had to pay full price! Don't order steak here. Will not be returning.

Ok for a drink & snacks or starter. Poor food. Greasy, tasteless. Undercooked fish & chips, sent back. Tasteless mushroom gnocchi. Sadly, we were sat at a table directly next to the bar in Rawtenstall that smelled VERY strongly of vomit. We all became aware of this and soon realised it was the tabletop. A previous punter must have puked on it earlier.... We asked to be reseated after staff agreed it stank. So not a great experience.

Just had an amazing meal at the Firepit. Second time coming here and will definitely be back. We were served by Jasey who went above abd beyond to make our experience absolutely perfect. She was super friendly and very attentive. She even asked the chef to make a sauce that wasn't on the menu so she went above and beyond to makesure everything was spot on for us. Highly recommend and hope we get Jasey again next time we visit!

Excellent as always, great service from Jasey! Thank you :-)

Served by Hermione. Very good service.

Great food only had a Sunday lunch but it was beautifully cooked. The fire pit wings that I had to start were really tasty. Soo good.

Great meal! Service was wonderful, our server Kyle was friendly and accommodating. We love eating here, the steak is beautiful!

Great food for a family of 5, Beth served us and looked after us really well. Any time we are in the area we will be back.

Night & day in comparison to our awful experience in the Blackburn Firepit last year. The service was exceptional, the atmosphere & the restaurant itself was lovely. I started off with the chicken wings which were great, everyone else enjoyed their starters. I then went onto the blue cheese burger which was a major letdown, no taste of blue cheese & the burger itself was very bland; I ended up sending this back & the staff handled it very well & removed it from the bill. The chips & coleslaw that came with the burger were great. Drinks were very nice, even with the burger being a disappointment it didn’t have a knock on effect to the rest of the evening. I’d definitely return.

Eva really helped me with my issues with the food, I ordered something not realising it had sauce and she very quickly helped me sort it out and made sure I had a meal that I’d enjoy😊 lovely girl and amazing customer service

Excellent family meal. Food fantastic. Our server Beth was a star. Would recommend for a great night out

Our server Kyle was brilliant. Really friendly and gave us the recommendation of the date night menu. Excellent food and cocktails.

Went last week had some chicken i've felt rough ever since, upset stomach being sick, i wont be going back

Came for a birthday meal, lovely atmosphere and venue Kyle was great with us couldn’t fault him great service

The birthday shot I was made by Hermione (the mini zombie) was very creative and delicious. The food was nice and the service was exceptional, again I must mention Hermione who was great at recommending me my first legal drink. The atmosphere was fun and the music was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

We had an amazing evening at the Firepit. The food was delicious and all of the staff were great including the fabulous Freya who kept us looked after on our visit. We will be back!
