Olympus Fish and Chip Restaurant
Latest Reviews
Called in here as part of a day coach trip to Bolton Market, with a Fish and Chip Meal included. Cannot begin to put into words what a fabulous experience it was. The meal itself was really enjoyable, beautiful battered fish in a crispy dry batter, chunky chips and mushy peas, with bread and butter and a coffee. Now onto the staff and the place itself. The staff were of the highest quality, very helpful, very welcoming, and totally very friendly. The restaurant was immaculately decorated and a very nice ambience, and the toilets were exceptionally clean. Just wished I lived locally so I could visit on a regular basis. Would definitely recommend this place if you want to be treated as a person and not just a customer.

Portions are small and the prices are too high £7.20 for a small fish half a portion of chips 1 slice of bread and a cup of tea, the service is spot on however you dont feel like you've had value for money.

Great fish and chips in lovely big airy room, especially with piano playing in the background. A good choice of fish dishes and specials and can get get wine/beer if you wish. Parking is a slight problem unless you are already within the vicinity and disabled spaces are extremely limited. Service is quick and efficient, but you have to go and order and pay at the counter. Not condusive with the feel of place in my opinion. Overall, good place for fish and chips. Will visit again.

Nice environment and helpful staff. The fish and chips that I tried was really nice and the soup of the day was also good.
It is a mix between self service and restaurant, but for a fish and chips place it is quite good.

I thought to give it a try , the food is good , but, to include 'bread and butter and a cup of tea' ( brings to mind the seaside cafe) then ,overcharge for a handful of peas , a bit dissappointing , the place is very nice and clean the staff very pleasent , but ,a bit its overpowering when it comes to putting your coat on , it seems to be a bit of a scramble who gets to you first to help you , they seem to cater for the older generation who love the attention but its not for me thank you..

.........we were regular visitors for a long time but on a couple of visits the fish was raw in the middle .The meals were replaced without issue by very pleasant staff but it spoils the experience ,Consequently we have given it a miss since .
Perhaps it may be worth another try .

Went to Olympus with a group who had been to Ocatagon. The food service and the attention by Mr Olympus was quite outstanding. We ate in the Orangery, a lovely dining room that was perfect for our party. We have been before and will return, it is the place to go for a lovely meal and top class service.

Another favourite of ours.you would think you were in a West End night club from the decor.Even has a Grand piano which is played by a good professional on certain days.
There is a good range of different types of fish, you can have it grilled if you do not like batter and they also sell pies and other food if fish is not your favourite.
Prices are very reasonable and even pensioners specials which are good value, including tea or coffee and bread and butter.
The staff are friendly and courteous ,opening the door for you and even rush over to help you on with your coat. Can't be faulted and a must to visit whilst shopping in Bolton. Good old fashioned hospitality in top rate surrounding's.

You get what you pay for! This is by far the best Fish around. Fact. The 'Whopper Cod' is huge and requires a decent appetite. The surroundings are superb and staff attentive. My favourite Fish and Chip restaurant outside of Whitby.

This is a fish and chip restaurant with a difference. Standards and customer service are everything here. The staff are friendly and attentive and no one enters or leaves without acknowledgement.
The restaurant is huge and very tastefully decorated, it even has a grand piano which is used.
The restaurant has been established around 25 years that I am aware of and over the years has continued to expand.
The food is excellent and not confined to just fish and chips.
A large varied menu caters to every requirement and is very popular with coach parties and pensioners.
Fish and chips and peas with tea bread and butter is priced around the £7 mark.
I highly recommend it and have been going there regularly for around 25 years even though I live about 20 miles away.

After a rare shopping trip with both my son and my husband, the sight of a fish and chip restaurant where we could sit in to eat was a welcome sight. The olympus is really big inside and was very busy for a Friday lunchtime. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door and shown to a table . Menus arrived 2 minutes later and there was a good selection to choose from. Me and my husband picked the "just enough" option which was cod, chips , tea , bread and butter. We ordered peas as extra...compulsory when having fish and chips. My 12 year old son had jumbo sausage, chips , curry and chocolate milk shake. When they brought the food out ( very quickly) it was obviously all freshly cooked but on first reaction I thought my meal was small. It wasn't, it was as the menu stated " just enough" . I was full and I like my food! Any more would have been too much. The chips were hot and fluffy inside , the batter was light and crispy and the fish was just delicious. I watched the staff and the whole place is based round good old fashioned manners .opening the door as people were leaving, helping a lady on with her coat...why can't everywhere be like this? To sum up..For the 3 of us it was £24 . The food was delicious, the service fantastic and I just wish every town had an Olympus. ...well worth a visit next time you are in Bolton.

For those people who need to dip into their childhood and taste those Friday nights queueing for the cod and chips....Olympus is a much better option. No waiting. Amazing service and food and such great value plus table and no newspaper wrapping.
You haven't lived till you have experienced fish and chips with mushy peas and tea and buttered bread from Bolton's best fish and chip restaurant.. Great job.

This is a great PLAICE for lunch dinne or tea or breakfast now. The food comes from the chip shop part of the restaurant which is technically next door. You go in and are greeted at the door and then offered a table. You chose your meal, go and pay and then sit down and await it's arrival which will only be minutes, if that. There is a nice atmosphere and the owner is always wandering around speaking to everyone.
If we are going to a show in Manchester, usually by train, we will pop in and eat before going. Plenty of sizes of portions from pensioners to the large. All great value.

My mother in law took us here to celebrate our daughters 14th birthday. It's brilliant, lovely staff, lovely food, great atmosphere, "a glass of wine with your chips" it sounds odd but it was wonderful. They brought a cake out for our daughter, sang to her then bought her and my other daughter a milkshake each.
We will definitely be going back

Its really is good fish and chips and in the take away attached to it you can sometimes find special offers for cones of chips and even get scraps thrown in.
Good, friendly service and often pop down if we are near the area.

Took a coach group here for a two course dinner, we had a very friendly welcome, the food was excellent served by helpful smiling friendly staff, cooked well, tasted great and did not have to wait too long to be served.
Tassos runs what must be the best fish and chip restaurant in the UK with a pianist playing while eating your meal, good value for money and great for groups.
If you are looking for somewhere to eat in the Bolton area this is a must but remember it closes at 7pm.

Where can I start with this restaurant, my family and I have been visiting here for the past few years after being hooked on the first visit. The food is absolutely delicious and varied, with home made dessert menu and a selection of wines and beers available, its so clean you could be in a top class hotel, staff are so welcoming and friendly and can't do enough for you, it's truly a gem in Bolton, can't wait for our next visit !!!!!!

A real 'find' when we were in Bolton yesterday and dived inside to escape the rain.
Spotlessly clean, carpeted floor, smiling waitress service and delicious fish and chips.
This was fish+ chips as it used to be!
My one criticism, and the reason why I am giving this restaurant 4stars, is the tasteless mushy peas. Disappointing, although we just left the pot of peas to one side so the meal was still very enjoyable.

Visited with my father (90yrs old) and friend last Wednesday lunchtime. Queue beyond the door - no wonder, the fish and chips ordered were of good "chippy" quality - smaller portions on the OAP menu suited my father. Quality restaurant ambience and decor. Fast service by polite staff. Good cup of tea!
Welcomed by the owner, Tassos, on entering, he works as hard as any of his staff.
Place full of OAPs who knew where to get good value for money.

We've been a number of times over the years and it's always the same - consistent. Good service, good food served efficiently with pleasant staff, in a unique (to fish and chip shops) environment. This must be a first stop for visitors to Bolton who are looking for Fish and Chips as they'll not find better anywhere. It is above the average price-wise, but quality products, excellent hygiene, staff well trained and efficiency costs.
