Visiting Olympus is always a delight. I tend to call in at lunchtime (between half twelve and one) and the place is always buzzing. Lots of people, couples, groups, and individuals. Extensive menu. I went for fish, chips and curry sauce and it was delightful. I found the service to be very slick which, to me, conveyed that this establishment knows its business. The staff members are always very efficient and polite. My food is served very promptly. I was impressed. Olympus is not "high end" dining but (certainly in my opinion) it does what it does very well with it's food and staff. Oh, and a nice touch is the pianist playing the grand piano in the centre of the venue. I enjoyed my visit, my food and the ambience.

This is a beautiful f&c restaurant of a type rare west of the Pennines. The young staff are friendly and efficient. The toilets are spotless.

I had a haddock special. This was quite a small fish, with skin on - anathema to me, though I know some would see this as a plus. There was a modest portion of chips and a serving of beans. (I could have had mushy peas - again, I dislike them - or curry.) Also included was a piece of buttered bread and a pot of tea. (I could have had coffee.) This deal added up to £15.95.

The fish was average at best. The chips tasted like oven chips. (I hope they weren't, but they tasted like it.) I ended up leaving several chips.

I don't think the price was that outrageous, to be honest, but I would rather pay a bit more and have a better meal. I came away thinking I would have been better off with fish fingers and home-cut chips at home. A thought that ought never to cross one's mind in such a place.

What a fantastic chippy. Perfect for a meal before going to see a show at the Octagon. As it's chippy its really quick to come out and always fresh. The service is always amazing, everyone is always so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The pianist playing only adds to the experience making the atmosphere so relaxing. Highly recommend 👌

We are regulars at Olympus. The plaice and cod with chips and peas were delicious as always. The restaurant is beautiful and enhancing the enjoyment is Alan Beavis playing on the grand piano. He plays 4 to 7 every Friday and
Saturday. A perfect occasion.

Great chippy! I’ve enjoyed both the take away food, and the sit-down menu. I normally go for scampi and chips and mushy peas (and tartare sauce of course) and have never been disappointed. I’ve never yet managed to be in at a time when someone’s playing at the piano however, but hopefully that time will come.

The fish and chips was fresh and tasty! The service was also fantastic. The only downside was that the live music was a bit loud. Overall, a great experience.

It was a bit surreal really, very warm welcome, extensive menu - with fairly 'chip shop' food and an in-house pianist. Staff were very friendly, service was quick, but we didn't feel rushed at all. It's not 'fine dining' but it doesn't claim to be that. Good value food.
