Wonderful meeting place. And far more to offer than just fish and chips. just a pity that you have to go to the counter to order your meal.

Sooooo expensive. Had small chip portion - still cost nearly a fiver. Canned drinks 2.45 whaat!!! Had lager instead . I get annoyed by soft drinks being marked up so much. Tea equals one teabag but lots of hot water and fussy little jugs. At the end of the day, you’re paying 3-45 for a teabag - luckily my wife always has spares. Toasted teacake - one miniature pat of butter - er…don’t think so. To do her credit the girl brought an extra two pats. If the manager found out she’d be for it. This place hates to be generous with portions. Profit is king.

That said, IMO, the chips are the best in Lancashire, and people who say otherwise need their tastebuds looking at. The surroundings are fabulous, everywhere is clean and luxurious.

But the prices go against the grain for a tight Northerner like me. I’m certainly not forking out for a whole meal there - I’m not the Duke of Westminster.

We visited for the first time today and found everything first class. We has heard favourable reports about the place and would now endorse this. The food was excellent and the portion we had was enormous! The service was brilliant and herecI must mention Tyler, who greeted us and showed us to our table. He gave us somewhere that was convenient for parking my mobility scooter and generally has the most perfect attitude to customer service. He is warm and friendly and definitely made our visit even better. Thank you Tyler, keep it up!

Excellent place to eat best fish and chips I have ever had, went with a coach party of 43 people we were all served together, I don't know how they did it and everyone was very happy with the service. The owner came round to every table to check all was OK and he kept coming round checking on everything. It was Friday the 13th but no mishaps just a fantastic meal and fantastic service

We've managed to avoid coming back to Olympus since I last put a review on TripAdvisor in November 2022.

Having reread the review from then it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility just to 'cut and paste' the same words here, because (apart from noticing a stain on the carpet during the last visit), absolutely nothing has changed.

Hardly anyone was dining in the restaurant, small fish, food not piping hot and vastly overpriced for what we got. Sad looking supermarket sliced bread with the merest slither of what was described as "butter".

In two and a half years, I thought that they might have bucked their ideas up, so to speak, but it appears not. During that time we've eaten plenty of portions elsewhere, including one of the top places in Whitby, and Olympus is one of the poorest experiences of them all, I'm afraid.

I visit here a couple of times a month as I’m often passing through Bolton. I usually order the Plaice special, which is always excellent. Chips and peas are always fantastic. The service and the restaurant itself is on another level, real old school attentive service. Always a fantastic experience.

Went on Saturday 26 April as part of a coach trip with Kings Norton Coaches from Birmingham. The fish and chips were the best ever, the service was impeccable and the atmosphere great. Will definitely go again and try the ice cream next time.

Visited today as part of a coach trip with Kings Norton Coaches. We were personally greeted and welcomed in. Nothing was too much trouble, friendly sociable sense of humour. All staff were very professional and courteous. Food was great, perfect portion size, served at the table with a lovely tartar sauce and bread and butter and a cup of tea . Can thoroughly recommend. We were a large party and we were all served together and the food was piping hot. Thank you for the pergect ending to our day out.
