When you visit Olympus Fish and Chip Restaurant you sometimes have to pinch yourself to remind yourself that this is a chippy.

From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave you are treated like a valued customer, with a greeter finding you a table, taking your coat, offering you a seat and giving you a shoulder massage (I joke about the shoulder massage, but it makes the point about the level of service).

You have to go to the counter to place your order and pay there prior to the meal being served.

The quality of the food is excellent. Really good quality fish and chips, or chips and pudding (or any other combination of chip shop cuisine).

Well worth a visit if you're in a 'chippy' mood.

Went here yesterday 8/4/13, with my hubby and 5 year old son. We have been here before, but not for a while. Food was excellent as always; fish very very fresh and proper "chippy" chips that were delicious. All cooked fresh and you don't mind waiting a few minutes for this food. Tartare sauce, the best ever. Everywhere spotless, as always, tables cleared as quickly as possible. The pianist was playing, adding a beautiful atmosphere to the restaurant. Staff were great with all customers, from young 'uns to "more mature" customers. Would defintely return here.

The best fish and chip restaurant in Bolton. Large tasty cod, proper thick chips and delicious mushy peas. What more can you ask for? Well although the cost is a little on the pricey side the super efficient service kinda over comes this. Definitely worth a visit.

My wife and I pop in many lunch times and always enjoy the friendly atmosphere and good food in this iconic restaurant. A Bolton gem. The piano player is an added bonus. Highly recommended.

I always look forward to shopping in Bolton and visiting quite possibly the best fish and chip restaurant I have ever been to. The atmosphere is lovely, often with a piano playing in the background. The restaurant is clean, the service excellent and the food is superb, really good value. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We have eaten at the Olympus for many years both for breakfast and lunch, and have found the food, service and surroundings to be second to none. The staff couldn't be more polite and helpful. The fish and chips are excellent, and there is plenty of choice for anyone not wanting fish. Not to be missed if you are in Bolton!

Nothing is too much trouble for the manager and his staff.

Quality fish and chips at a reasonable and fair price. Good selection of fish to choose from and the portions are quite generous. For non fish lovers there is plenty of choice of standard British fare plus the well recommended 'Mousaka'.

We've been going here for years and have NEVER been disappointed.
The food is top class and the service is like it used to be in days gone by - courteous and polite.
Not the cheapest chippy in Bolton but definitely the best.

The excellent family run restaurant with a very friendly atmosphere is suitable for all ages including children in push chairs and senior citizens. The room is spacious and airy and the town location is convenient for shopping with car parking nearby. Our fish and chips lunch was delicious with the choice of different size portions which is helpful when people have different size appetites. The service is excellent - friendly and efficient.

My family and I visited the olympus for lunch on Saturday the chips looked as though they were half cooked,the fish was nice and fresh.,

the child's meal however was disappointing,sausage and chips looked more like a cocktail sausage and a few scrappy chips,the service was wonderful from arriving and being shown to the table and through the meal,however they seemed to be understaffed and everyone was running around as though they were on a mission,this seemed to be worse when the boss himself arrived, and stood around shouting staff's names out loud telling them to do things which they had been doing anyway,and I heard him keep telling the waiters to go faster..I have worked in the catering industry for almost 30 years and never have I heard a boss speak to his staff like this man ,how do they refrain from telling him where to go that shows the professionalism of the staff he employs,and it would do him good to remember that a business is only as good as the staff., don't think I will be returning .

This restaurant has been around giving excellent service for over 25 years to my knowledge.
I can only say that if there was a category for Bespoke fish & chip restaurant, this is it.
You are met with the door being opened for you, your coats taken and shown to a suitable table, by staff that really do try to please.
Olympus has a varied menu and has a licence for those who wish to invibe. Food is to a good standard and served fresh. On leaving the same courtesy is always the same as your arrival,Mr Tasos Pattichis (owner) is always in attendance and has time for everyone, he has built up a restaurant to be very proud of.
Just an aside to this, if I am not mistaken coach trips from out of town made regular trips to this venue.
