New restaurants in Yorkshire: Video and 13 photos taking you inside new family-run Halifax restaurant

A new restaurant has opened in Halifax – and the family who run it will be familiar to some already in Calderdale.

The Firepit steakhouse and cocktail baris at Broad Street Plaza, where TGI Friday’s used to be, and opened its doors to its first customers last week.

The menu includes hanging kebabs and steaks as well as pizza, burgers, fish, flatbreads and bottomless brunch.

This is the fourth Firepit to be opened by the Novak family and they part-own Good Karma Coffee House in Brighouse.

Operations manager Andy Novak said they are now hoping to repeat the success of the other Firepit restaurants in Halifax.

“We want to give people who are outside city centres a taste of the kind of restaurant you can usually find in city centres but without the price tag or the commute,” he explained.

As well as referencing the signature dish of steak on a stone, the name reflects the restaurant’s aim of being a place where people can eat and then gather, enjoying socialising and music from DJs and live performers.

It will cater for everyone, from young adults enjoying an informal date night to groups of friends who want to catch up over champagne.

He said the family have had their eye on the Broad Street premises for some time and are delighted to be opening there.

They have already had a positive reaction to the opening of the new restaurant, he added.

The Firepit offers several special promotions including two courses for £21 or three courses for £26 between noon and 4pm, Monday to Friday, and three courses for £31 during Monday to Thursday evenings.
