Olympus Fish and Chip Restaurant
Latest Reviews
Ate here 7/2/17 with my husband and our toddler, along with my two sisters, for lunch.
The food - The food was fine. My fish and chips were delicious and very filling. The portion since was plentiful. I was going to have a pudding afterwards but chose not to in the end as I wouldn't have been able to fit it in! That's not a complaint as the food I had was well cooked and tasted great, it was just filling. My husband had sausage and chips and he said it was good too. My two sisters did complain that their fish was a bit soggy but I didn't have that problem with mine at all.
Price - very happy with how much we paid. Cod, chips and peas (which I and my two sisters ate) was £7.70 each which was more than reasonable considering the size of the meal. My son had a small portion of chips for £2.80 and my husband's jumbo sausage and chips was only a couple of pounds more than that.
Service - We were seated straight away and the waiter made sure our large party was sat together by movingly tables around, he also made sure we had a highchair which was nice. The food did take a while to come out which we wouldn't have minded about if they'd given us our drinks at an earlier time. We only ordered soft drinks so to have them come out just before the food when we'd already been waiting a long time was a little annoying. Still staff were always smiling and polite.
Restaurant - the decor was simple and unfussy. Restaurant was very clean as were the toilets. I liked the addition of the piano and we got to listen to some live music which was nice.
Overall this is a place I would definitely visit again. Simple food done very well. Recommended.

Great service defy you to try to get your coat off before the waiver comes to help. Old fashioned manners but thoroughly modern premises our grandchildren love it. Takes going out for fish & chips to a whole new level.

Spacious place with friendly staff. Food was very good and service was quick. Pianist playing which is something different! And the teapots didn't dribble!

I am not a food snob; and very rarely, if at all, criticise anything that's put before me.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Staff at the Olympus are well aware of this and are always courteous and tentative from arrival through to departure.
This is very good, honest, reasonably priced chips n fish; in very clean and pleasant surroundings.
I've been there on several occasions and never been disappointed; only the 'hard to please' would think differently.
Thankyou

So we'd read a dozen tripadvisor reviews on this place and it was virtually next to the Octagon Theatre where we'd seen a show so went. So where do I start? Service I suppose.
Service: The Greek matriarch took my order. She was attentive, got the order completely right and made me feel welcome. (You order and pay at the counter and it's table service from there on). The door was opened for us on arrival and as we left. I normally balk at the obsequious toady and completely fake "have a nice day" culture, but this was sincere. The staff couldn't have been more attentive and authentic. I wanted to take them all home.
Food: They do some HUGE pieces of fish (like back when I was a lad). Fish and chips is their staple, but there's also an array of Greek cuisine including my all time favourite Moussaka - yum.
Bonus: Their pianist on duty yesterday (11 Feb 2017) played loads of standards that I love so much. I would have happily paid twice what I paid for my grub alone just to hear this guy with an empty stomach. I'd heard the place described as "posh fish and chips" but this wasn't posh - it was magical. My first trip to Bolton and if this is the only thing worth seeing in the town, it's enough to make me want to return.

What a great little treasure this place is. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and early theatre dinner is fantastic to eat here. Very clean but you would also be stepping back into time along with class where the Art Deco feel and the piano played by a staff member and the staff are always welcoming. I'll definitely be attending again and again when I'm in Bolton. The menu choice is great and reasonably priced and it's not only fish and chips! I've been twice so far - ty for the lovely experience

Yesterday our north Wales group travelled to Bolton for a day out with Vicky's Coach Tours who organised a lunch at the Olympus Fish and Chip restaurant as part of the trip. What a pleasant surprise on walking into the Olympus. We were warmly greeted by the proprietor and then had an excellent meal, which was accompanied by some very soothing and not too loud music. The food and ambiance was excellent and I am sure the proprietor is proud of his friendly and helpful waiters and other staff. The restaurant look very fully and I guess there were around 150+ people dining and yet we received a nice hot meal within about 10 minutes. There is no doubt that my wife and I will call in again next time we are in Bolton, and we will certainly be recommening the Olympus to others.

We brought 87 people for fish chips & mushy peas today.
Booking was made easy, our few with special requirements were dealt with easily.
Our group arrival was greeted by Taso himself and the service was unbelievable. He had everyone sat down and eating within 10 mins of arrival. Staff are so fast and attentive.
The food was absolutely spot on. Not one complaint from our group.. Only highly complimentary about the food and service. You don't get better than that.
The pianist was a lovely touch. Prices were very reasonable for the service, excellent location and good quality.
Thank you everyone at the Olympus - from all of us!

lunch time on a very cold day. we just wanted fish and chips and mushy peas and that is what we got. They were perfect. The service was excellent, we were served quickly, the staff are friendly and efficient and the menu is varied. The restaurant is warm and attractive, very clean and comfortable. The price is right as well. A nice touch was a pianist playing very nicely, a good change from blaring pop music that you get in some places.

Although I can't comment on the food, on this occasion. I just wanted to say a big thank you to the staff and owner for looking after myself and my colleagues after we had an accident outside this restaurant. The owner invited us in and gave us a lovely cup of tea and some biscuits. This restaurant is always busy and I will definitely eat there next time I'm in Bolton town center shopping.

The chippy experience has never been nicer. With surroundings more suited to a high class restaurant than a chippy and top class food a service this family owned chippy is an excellent place to enjoy a meal alone or with friends; on a shopping trip to Bolton or for a pre-theatre supper. The staff are attentive and friendly and the food delicious.

I have not visited the Olympus since my last visit several months ago. It is true that it's a very good restaraunt and I did enjoy the fish and chips but my partner didn't, the reason being they don't offer a gluten free option, they do offer jacket potato which is a gluten free option but if your coeliac you don't want a jacket potato you want fish and chips. On discussing this with the owner is attitude was that it may not be profitable which may be true but what about the customer care, non shown. Due to this I will not return. I now go to curley's fish and chip restaurant at Norwich which is set in lovely surroundings and is just as good if not better and more importantly do gluten free fish and chips.

Every time we go to Olympus you are treated with respect, the fish and chips are the best in town we go here nearly every time we go in Town, and is always full to the brim people waiting and no problem for the staff keep it up Oylmpus.
