A 'COOK your own steak’ restaurant chain plans to build on the successful opening of its branch in Blackburn. After the new outlet in the town proved popular, owner Andrew Novak wants to add extra eateries to his business. Founded in Rawtenstall in 2014, Firepit Restaurant and Cocktail Bar chain already had sister branches in Southport and St Annes when it came to Blackburn's One Cathedral Square this summer creating 30 jobs. Its 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. Now after the success of the Blackburn branch Mr Novak is eyeing up opening new restaurants in Preston, Lancaster and Warrington.
