The Firepit in Rossendale

Food was spot on, waitress (Laila) was very accommodating and made sure everything was ok for us and came back numerous times to take our orders and make sure everything was ok. Definitely will be back.

Kyle was a very good server!!! 10/10 guy and he needs a raise :) i had a lovely vegan burger, i would recommend to everyone.

very good service kyle was very kind and thoughtful i had lovely meal from the chef, kyle gave me a warning before hand about the short ribs and how it has so much fat

The food here is good everytime. If it is not upto your liking all you need to is ask and they will replace it for you with no fuss! One of the reason we keep going back! This time we were looked after by Laila and her team, all very attentive and friendly. The baked camembert !!!!! Steak and ribs were all good sized portion.

Well pleased with our recent visit to Firepit Rawtenstall. It was a birthday present for our middle daughter in tandem with a trip on the East Lancashire heritage railway line. So easy to book on line. The Restaurant itself has a lovely ambiance with views over the railway station. The service and food were both excellent. They cannot be faulted. We had the Sunday roasts which has to be said were absolutely marvellous. Fully recommended.

Attended the firepit for tea with our friends & our children. Served initially by Kyle, who was outstanding, then Paige who was equally fantastic! Great service - friendly, attentive & both great with the children too. Paige & Kyle Couldn’t do enough for us! 5 star service!!! Food very tasty too!

Firepit restaurant is an outstanding restaurant, the steak kebabs were spot on and cooked beautifully. Also the Service from our waiter KYLE was spot on! Very friendly.

Lovely restaurant, great food and drinks. Our server, Kyle, was great and very attentive. We both had burgers which were amazing and the cocktails were very good. We will definitely be back!

The food was amazing and the service especially Kyle he was very helpful and good service wood definitely go again loved every bit of it

lovely food great sevice. Hermione was very friendly and polite 5* the cocktails was lovely and made fresh. i would definately reccomend we have been her a few times now

Lovely food, just disappointed with how expensive it was and also the fact that a 10% service charge was already added to the bill. The service charge was nearly £10 and the customer service was just average. Probably won’t return as this has put me off, I find it cheeky.

So annoying when the website allows you to book a table for bottomless brunch then the manager rings saying you can’t have it. Date night ruined 😡

Really enjoyed our food and drinks service very good great value would recommend and definitely go again

Terrible food within 10 minutes of getting home my husband was being sick clearly food poisoning off the chicken burger he ordered. Waitress never come back with our change! So overpriced for what you get. Will not be returning!

I am so grateful to Tommy and the team for enabling such a fantastic hot buffet for our German twin town guests last week - it was absolutely fantastic. The collaboration between the Firepit and the Village stores was second to none and everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I cannot recommend it enough. Some of our party went for evening dinners the night before too and said it was exceptional steak so I need to go and try it. All in all, an asset to Rossendale. Thank you so much.

Despite living nearby we haven't been here for some time. I was glad to see the decor & lighting had improved, also seating area had extended slightly. The order was taken promptly, and drinks order taken too. The wine was delivered along with 2 glasses - not opened - not served, just left on the table for us to help-yourself. It was very busy, and eventually after about 25 mins the food arrived. One steak on stone, and one ribs, plus extras. The staff were attentive & asked if all was OK, we requested vinegar for the chips & it was brought immediately. (Although the paper from beneath the ribs & coleslaw had to be removed - cutting meant paper shreds ended in the food - it wasn't necessary on a plate). The food was wonderful. Tasty. Hot and filling. We declined sweets. When the bill arrived staff pointed out that 10% service had been added which we could choose to pay or not. We paid it assuming it went to the staff. (Hopefully management will improve the slippery floors around the bar area for the staff soon - the transportation of the hot food from the kitchen round that corner is prime site for an accident waiting to happen). When we got home later & my clothes still smelled of the cooking smoke, I remembered why we hadn't been to The Firepit for a while...

I’ve been here 3 times now and the food is always amazing but the service massively lets it down. Everything from waiting to order, waiting for drinks and the time between food courses was just far too long. I got to the point on my most recent visit that when I received a drink, I would order my next one as it took 30-45mins for it to come. I really think they need to sort their service out as it could be 5/5.

Me and my partner came for a bottomless brunch and paid nearly £50 per person so that we could choose any cocktail off the menu rather than just the usual beer and prosecco. I have been to bottomless brunch 3/4 times now and they seam to change certain bits of it. This time when we went you could choose three small plates each off the menu. I have also been when you all get your own meal and don't mind either way. The last time I had the three plate option, there was hardly any food at all. This time when the food arrived there was absolutely loads of it! We ordered ribs each, a chicken wings, two portions of loaded fried and a portion of garlic bread. We were so impressed with the portion sizes. Now unfortunately, we couldn't eat the BBQ ribs or the chicken wings because they were SO spicy!! I don't mind a bit of spice but when your both sitting there eyes streaming, nose running.... it's not as enjoyable! It is a shame really as they are two of my favourite things on the menu and it has put me off coming for a bottomless brunch here again.

Usually stop in once or twice a year to see how the place is getting on. Ever since it's inception the food has always been great and the constantly changing décor gives the large restaurant a nice feel. Unfortunately, the establishment has become synonymous with average service. Whenever the Firepit is suggested as a destination to anybody in the local area the usual response is a comment on the service. This time was the same as always. The 10% service charge automatically added is a bit presumptuous based on the level of service they offer. To clarify; staff are always polite. However, long wait between orders/check backs, missing starters, wrong mains brought out... just poor application of the basics.

Overall a nice experience, they had run out of almost half the menu on this particular visit including chicken, lobster, onion rings and most of the deserts. I have visited on a few occasions and food is always good, service can be hit and miss, dont think they can handle larger parties. Cocktails are great and lovely decor.

Visited the Firepit on Friday evening and didn't have a table booked as wanted drinks. We discovered the bar upstairs opened at 8pm but were there 6.45pm...the staff quick as a flash opened the upstairs bar for us and we had drinks and atmosphere within 5 minutes. OUSTANDING SERVICE!! So grateful...well done and special mention to Rob!

Came to this place as a family of 8. Food, service, drinks and staff are all exceptional. I had baby back ribs followed by ribeye on stone. The food was unbelievable. I would highly recommend the drum stick cocktail. I cannot find a fault with this restaurant. Even as a family of 8, all the dishes came out the same time, all hot and no complaints. I will 100 % recommend this place and will 100% return.

Never been here before but heard good things about it. Tonight didn’t disappoint. Really nice place , beautiful food and very lovely staff. I will definitely be back 😃

We had not booked but got a table immediately. Drinks were one soft drink one wine. Ordered our food and it came pretty quickly, barbequed ribs and squid pieces. Had to ask for a finger bowl and bone refuse plate that should have been included automatically with the ribs dish. Both starters were very nice. Needed another soft drink but the glass still being used and with some drink still in it was removed without asking. The rib eye steak on the stone was nicely presented but tasteless, the tail end steak in blue cheese sauce was also tastless and the blue cheese dressing and cheese pieces overpowering. We had to request salt and pepper other than being asked if we wanted it. Nothing on the small desserts list appealed to us, then the bill came saying that 10% service charge will be added unless we tell the waiting server different. We said we didn’t wish to pay it and said the reasons why. The meal was not worth what the bill said. I know we’re only a drop in the ocean but we’ve been here 3 times and been dissapointed each time, will not be visiting again.

The food was fine, the service not so much. It took too long for us to order our drinks and then took too long for our drinks to come. The fact they add 10% service onto the bill automatically is a bit of a slap in the face when it’s been poor.

Booked for Father’s Day, we have been here a few times before and have always had a lovely meal. Unfortunately this time the service was terrible and the prices were absolutely astronomical. The restaurant looked to be at full capacity but there were just not...

Arrived at restaurant and waited quite a while to be shown to our table, even though there were members of staff just hanging around that could have done this. We were taken upstairs and this felt more like a bar than a restaurant (downstairs looked...

Staff are polite but very young, inexperienced and unorganised. The restaurant was by no means full which I thought was strange given it was Saturday pay day weekend. The reasons why soon became apparent. Took ages for drinks order to arrive (then arrived 1 by...

Let me start off by mentioning that the food was excellent, that is where the positivity ends. The service was slow and shocking. After asking for my toddlers meal to be brought out with the starters it was only brought out with the mains and...

Went for dinner on Easter Monday, prices on the high side, food ok. As others have mentioned there is a 10% service charge added automatically. The problem with that is that you sometimes don't fully read the small print in the bill and then leave...

Very disappointing Long wait Missing item Staff never returned to ask if we would like another drink from when we arrived nor ask if food was alright after it was served

As you walk in the atmosphere is great, really enjoyed the lighting, music, fire pit in the middle of some tables and general vibe. Starter was nice: I had the vegetable pakora - yum yum. My partner was a little disappointed as he asked for...

Delicious meals with friendly staff. My partner actually said it was the best steak he had ever had!

2nd visit as three friends. A sullen looking young lady showed us to our table which was right in front of the evenings entertainer/singer. We asked for a table further away which we did not think as an unusual request as the restaurant was more...

We have always enjoyed our Firepit visits, but on this occasion, it surpassed our expectations. James, our waiter, and the team were outstanding catering for our every need with brilliant banter added on for free! The food and drinks were top-notch and ambience fantastic (Flying...

Terrible for allergies! Also know of a friend with a nut allergy who they refused to serve. Training needed.

Three times my wife had to ask for her steak to be returned and to be cooked more,as was cooked to rare .overall bad experience A top chef should be able to cook a steak to a customers preference,and when the price is at top...

My trip to the Firepit was not enjoyable service of food wise, the steaks we ordered were all cooked incorrectly and items were missing on dishes, my chicken burger was bland and boring, my order was also wrong. The servers were all talking at the...

I really had high expectations for this place as it was recommended by a friend. It’s in a wonderful building and really well laid out. The food and service however are not really what I had in mind. The service is really slow and the...

Nothing much to say really. If you enjoy be surrounded by youths pissed on Prosecco then this is the place for you. Will not return.

My first visit to The Firepit. It smelt like a greasy firepit when we walked in, it was smoky too. Fast to take our drinks and food order. Drinks came quickly, my white wine was luke warm. Food was slow to come out. My husband...

Such a shame as the food was really nice but the service was shocking and incredibly slow. The atmosphere was cold, dark and felt unwelcoming . Prices have also dramatically increased and says children eat free when they clearly don’t. Again as previously stated shame...

Beware price increases. I know the cost if living had gone up but..... 10oz fillet steak gone up from £25.99 to £33.99 (£8), 5oz fillet up from £15.99 to £23.99 (£8), chicken skewer kebab up from £15.99 to £19.99 (£4). Visited on 6th September 2022...

Ordered lamb chops on the stone with creamy mash. Poor choice on reflection as chops have very little meat on them. Everyone else in the group opted for steak and had no complaints. Would recommend ordering an option on the stone for the experience.

Staff were friendly and welcoming and first drink from Bottomless Brunch served quickly. The meals arrived and were good but as someone who puts pepper on everything it would have been nice to have that on the table alas none to be found felt we...

First visit the other night. Absolutely over the moon with our experience. Staff were attentive and friendly right from the off. It was very busy but in no way did we feel neglected at all. The food was of an incredibly high standard, cooked exactly...

Worst ever visit to here - took forever to get all courses and had to demand attention from every waitress for orders of drinks - shocking visit - won’t be coming again

Just been to the Firepit, after all the rave reviews I was expecting something spectacular. Unfortunately I was extremely disappointed and will not be going again. We ordered garlic bread to start and when the young lad brought it out, he dropped a piece on...

Thought we would try the fire pit for the first time through previous reviews. Unfortunately our meal and experience was average at best. The only five star thing about the meal was the ridiculous price. To start with I ordered the mixed grill. The lamb...

The food is no way near as good as it used to be not even by half, now very overpriced for what you get. If you want a soft drink be prepared to pay more than alcohol it is very sneekly priced. The sauces have...

Where to start, first of all we were seated for a family meal in front of a live music act, in front of the speakers. Our food was brought to the table cold, I don't meal warm, I mean cold, we even had a steak...

Long time customer. But no intention to return. Atmosphere has gone. Now just a bar that serves expensive food rather than a great restaurant. The venue has lost its soul. Tables are no longer suitable for dining and there are electronic screens on the wall...

Really good waiter, charming and polite - this is somewhere we’ve been a hundred times and the staff have always been great. Sadly the food let them down, they advertise things on the menu that aren’t what are served (yes we asked at the time,...

This supposed to be a Steak House. Our steaks where tough and poor. Won’t be going again in the near future.

Came last night to the Blackburn one for the first time. I ordered scallops for starters. The scallops were lovely, however, they were ruined by the chorizo and herb stuff that just tasted burnt. The scallops would have been much better on their own. I...

After being a few times to the Firepit we booked a table for 10 for a friend's birthday. We were asked to pre-order our food, which we did On arrival they had no idea we had pre-ordered until we advised them. We were shown upstairs...

First time back here post pandemic, and the interior had changed a lot, for the better, it looked great inside! All of the food was very good quality, the 10oz Fillet Steak was fantastic! Cooked to perfection medium rare, and a really good sized portion!...

Visited The Firepit last night, last minute decision and they managed to fit us in even though they were busy. All the staff very friendly and helpful. Food excellent as always… especially the mussels 😋 my favourite!! We will definitely be back.

We went to have lunch here before going to watch a football game, it was across the road from our hotel so nice and convenient, or so we thought! We were greeted and asked if we had booked, fair enough but the restaurant wasn’t even...

Waited over an hour for 6 starters & mains. When they came out we’re extremely average, kebab was cold, steaks weren’t tender as you would expect at £25-30. Only thing that I could praise was the waitress that served us was lovely and really apologetic....

Th food when it arrived was lovely but had to wait nearly an hour to have steak and chips yet the restaurant was very quiet . The table next to us who arrive some time later had received two courses yet we were still waiting...

Food was faultless but the service was incredibly mediocre. My partner and I were sat at the table and waited 15 mins for drinks order. Waited 35 minutes for starters, where my partner's arrived almost 10 minutes before mine did. Throughout the evening we felt...

Visited yesterday evening with a reservation at 745pm for 2. We ordered just mains and drinks straight away. The mains took approx 55 minutes to arrive. During this time we asked how long our food would be to a waitress who went into the kitchen...

When it first opened this place was great. I stopped coming around 3 years ago after 3 visits with poor service. Attended a 50th this month and it’s no different. The restaurant had booked the meal for the wrong night despite repeated emails confirming the...

We've had a couple of meals here and there is a wide choice of food and drinks available. Tends to be popular with younger folk.

Came for lunch with a friend, she found a hair in her burger! They apologised and my friend ordered a different meal. It took them half an hour to bring it out by which point I'd finished mine 25 minutes before. When asked for a...

Really cheap meat used, chicken looked undercooked and I was told it’s ‘meant to be like that’ turns out it’s just extremely cheap meat they use including the steaks. I left the majority of my meal. We didn’t have any cutlery on the table, when...
