The Firepit Restaurant & Cocktail Bar (Rawtenstall)

"Sunday lunch with family. Food reasonable (medium) Large portions which is not my thing but if that’s what your into .…….. Dry with virtually no gravy! We asked for a little more gravy please as really was not even enough to cover plate. Bill came and could not believe charged a service charge (slightly cheeky) BUT. £10 for extra gravy. Really !!!! This is the pics of how much gravy was served. Is this just me or is this the amount of gravy you would like on a Sunday lunch ???"

"I took my wife for a nice meal out here and as we walked in the place looked smokey from the grill. We then sat down ordered drinks and from that point on things got worse. Prices were expensive so you expect quality food and service. Lots of staff standing around doing nothing while we sat and waited for drinks. The £33 mixed grill came with most of it under cooked and not as much as you would expect for that price. My wife had the vegetable kebab and again under cooked. After waiting ages we had to flag down a member of staff so we could order deserts. 25mins later 2 cookie dough and coconut ice cream deserts came. The ice cream was melted and was vanilla not coconut as it said on the menu. So all in all £89 for a bad meal with slow service. I once heard very good things about this place but I think those days are long gone."

"We booked the firepit for our 1st wedding anniversary, it was a really nice atmosphere with very friendly staff. The only thing stopping it being 5 stars was the cost. £10 for a starter seemed a bit expensive but all in all the food was great and we had a lovely night."

"Really enjoyed the atmosphere, the building was very nice, and service was great. Burger was amazing and the cocktails were lovely. Starter was a little small for the money, but excellent food and drink overall."

"It was okay. The food was good to fair, certainly nothing to complain about. Inside the place is nicely done. The staff were friendly enough but very poorly trained; no scanning tables, no steps of service at all, waited an age to order in an empty place. No check back or even offers for more drinks. More proactive staff would make this venue better."
