As the title says ' Best fish and chips by far! '. Food here is really good. Service is great and restaurant is kept tidy. You get quite a bit on your plate. And you surly do get what you pay for. Definitely recommended.

Located in the centre of Bolton is a Greek-owned posh fish and chip restaurant - a real gem. Carpeted and well-furnished, elegant lights and a grand piano at which one of the area's finest and best-known pianists is a regular make this an exceptional place to eat fish and chips.

The menu is fairly static but offers plenty of choice. The food is good though portion control seems to be administered with a slide rule.

Service is top-notch. Beverages are served almost as soon as you're seated and when you leave, at least one waiter will be there to help you on with your coat and to hold the door open for you. Well worth a visit or two.

Lovely food great welcoming staff, clean, not a 'budget' place but well worth it for a pampering monthly treat.

From the moment that you set foot into the building you are made to feel 'part of the family', you are greeted at the door by a warm friendly face who immediately asks about you and the number in your party, you are then shown to a table of your choice (if there is avilability). A member of the staff offers you a menu and explains the ordering proceedure e.g order at the counter and the food order will be brought to you.
The food is always hot and the selection caters for all appitites large or small, you are allowed plenty of time to eat and digest your meal without the feeling that you should leave. Once you do decide to leave you are helped with your coat (a nice quaint touch).

The food is of excellent standards but might be seen to be a little over priced, but there is the pensioners portions selection and prices to suit all budgets

We love going here for lunch when we are in town. Delicious food, I like the breakfast but my husband likes fish chips and mushy peas. Very clean and great service. Sometimes there is a pianist.

The Olympus is a gem of a place in Bolton. spotlessly clean, plenty of service staff, and even without being a pensioner - the pensioner price is good too.

From the moment you walk in, Service from the ' Old School ' . Sadly lacking today in todays modern world. Modern layout with quality fixtures and fittings. Excellent atmosphere and ambiance. The food is all fresh and delivered promptly with a smile. The pianist would remind some of a lounge on a cruise ship. Quality ! . Most enjoyable visit. Many Thanks until the Next time.

Where do you start

Overpriced
Under portioned
Slow service to name just 3, I unlike the other reviewers do not work for the chippy so will say exactly how it it,never will I eat here again and the prices put a Harry ramsden chippy to shame. Il be blunt but honest,avoid this places unless your happy to spend £50 on a family of 4 for a load of chips and some heavily fried sardines

Having been told by several people how good this place was, and being in Bolton at lunch time on a rather cold day, what better time to try. The first surprise was having the door opened for us as we approached (nice touch), second was the lovely style of the décor. All the staff were really attentive. Third surprise the choice of meals available and finally having chosen to go for the recommended fish and chip option the quality (superb).This place knocks spots off Harry Ramsdens. Defo be back.!!!

By chance on a recommendation from a local shop went for lunch. The wet Wednesday was taken over by the Palm Pianist and his beautiful music what a surprise. The staff were very attentive and we had a lovely meal. How nice it was for one of the staff to open the door for us on our exit. We will certainly return. Thank You

I am a regular patron here and so my review is a summary. The portion size is not huge but then nor is the price - and the decor and service is outstanding. This is a busy and popular restaurant but rarely have we had to wait long for our meal to be served.

If you eant simple sustenance, this might not be the restaurant to choose; if you want decent food, good service - and live music then it's highly recommended.

Called here for lunch food excellent service really good. You get what you pay for, not the cheapest but it's defiantly the best in the town centre.

Decided to have my lunch here which was my first visit for some time. Whatever the issue was which caused a disappointing recent hygiene rating the "Front of House" operation has always been excellent.& was no different this time.
Restaurant & tables very clean as usual & staff firendly & efficient without being overbearing. I ordered a large cod, chips & peas, with bread & a soft drink. I had the 8oz cod which took the bill well over £10.00 & probably the most expensive fish & chips I've ever had. That said the fish itself was perfectly cooked nice, white & very tasty. Portion of chips I found to be on small side & "average"
Restaurant was about half to two thirds full which was quite surprising as I thought it would be full with Xmas Shoppers so I had a nice pleasant & quiet lunch. Most customers seem to be pensioners taking advantage of special offers for them.
On the whole, nice food with delicious fish but some may feel it's a bit too pricey for this type of food, so dabatable whether it's value for money. Being a fan of traditional fish & chips however I will be back ! . .
