Unique steak restaurant to open its doors at The Rock

A STEAK restaurant which promises ‘a unique eating experience’ will open at The Rock Shopping and Leisure Centre this autumn.

The Firepit will open in at The Rock next month, creating 25 jobs in the town.

The restaurant, which also has branches in neighbouring Rawtenstall and Blackburn will open in the former Frankie and Benny’s unit at the centre.

Founded in Rawtenstall in 2014, The Firepit’s signature dish is steak-on-a-stone cooked at the table on a 350-degree lava rock, which holds its temperature to ensure it is done exactly to the customer’s liking.

The menu also includes burgers, hanging kebabs, vegetarian options, fish, salads and more.

Peter Novak founder of The Firepit said: “Opening a restaurant in Bury town centre has been an ambition of ours for a number of years and we are so excited to now be making that a reality. The Firepit is a firm favourite amongst many diners in Rawtenstall and Blackburn where we already have two restaurants, and we are looking forward to bringing that same dining experience to the people of Bury.”

Arnold Wilcox-Wood, Centre Director at The Rock, added: “We are thrilled to be welcoming The Firepit to our exciting tenant mix. We know the group’s other restaurants in the region are very popular and we are sure that The Firepit will be a huge hit with our visitors.”
