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.

Great restaurant, friendly staff, good menu. Worth visiting Bolton for fish and chips. Great menu, we had fish and six chips,pensioner portion menu, and large normal fish and chips all served fresh and hot.

The olympus prides its self on good quality food and the service is exceptional, all served with a smile, more often than not the place is full which speaks volumes for a eatery and your sure to have a pleasant experience here.

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.

We go to the Olympus every week and have fish and chips and it is lovely my only "gripe" is they put margarine on the bread, on the menu it says bread and butter, I know margarine is supposed to be more healthy but I really don't like it, that is my only criticism, otherwise everything else is good

The restaurant is warm, comfortable and pleasant. The welcome is fabulous and the members of staff give great service. There is a piano and on Tuesday there was a pianist but I am unsure if there is one every day. The food is delicious and there is a good choice. Smaller portions are on offer. Desserts available. Coffee is very good. The quality of food, service and venue is reflected in the price.

From the moment you are welcomed in to the moment you are helped on with your coat on the way out the experience is excellent. The food is piping hot and served very quickly. The fish is always lovely and fresh and the batter excellent. They do a pensioner 'special' which is very nice and there is a piano player on a Tuesday and Wednesday lunch! You feel like you are on holiday!

Myself and 14 work friends decided to go here for our Christmas Lunch. We opted for the set menu which actually had about 6 main course and dessert options. There was also tea or coffee included and most of us opted for a Christmas tipple. Overall we all paid £15.50 which was cracking value for money.
The welcome was very warm and we were very well looked after throughout. Nothing was too much trouble.
We were seated in the orangery which is lovely and the pianist was very enjoyable.
A great choice of venue and we will all be returning in the New Year.

I love going to Olympus, we have been several times, as you are always met with such a warm welcome, quick service, good food and a pleasant atmosphere. Their small appetite special is great value. I wish other restaurants in Bolton would have as good customer service as Olympus do, I'm sure that's one the main reasons they are always so popular. Thanks again!

I Visited Olympus Fish & Chips Restaurant,and was amazed at how efficiently the staff show you to a table and your own individual seating after you arrive into the restaurant,You decide once you been seated by a member of staff,what you would like to order,then you go and pay at the till and order your meal and can also choose if you wish a desert.
Once you have then ordered and paid,you return to your own individual table and the pleasant,very polite and helpful staff come with your order.
I ordered the fish and chips with peas,along with a small pot of tea,along with two brown slices of bread.This only came to £8.50 which i thought for the price was more than reasonable.
I could have ordered one of the 5 deserts as well for a couple of extra pounds,but decided not to on this occasion.
It doesn't surprise me that this place does get very busy and is very popular with not just the Bolton people,but other individuals who come further afield to sample the food here.
The interior of the Olympus Fish and Chips Restaurant is very posh,with regards to how they have decided to decorate/furnish the restaurant and the staff as i have said,are very helpful and will go out of their way.
The Fish and Chips and side order of peas that i ordered here, was very Delicious,the fish just melted in your mouth and the batter was very crispy and lovely.
The pot of tea easily made 4 cups of tea,and for a cold day in November when i eat here,was what i needed.
Olympus Fish and Chips Restaurant is open 6 days a week.From Monday till Saturday.
I think the opening times are from 11am,but please check times with the Restaurant.
They have been established in Bolton now for well over 20 years and i am certain they will be around for a long time yet to come.
My own personal rating on this restaurant is 9/10 and i have no doubts that i will be returning back to this restaurant in the near future

This is a Fish & Chip restaurant with class. From first entering, where the door is opened for you, to leaving when your coat is held whilst you up it on; this is a pleasurable experience from start to finish. In the restaurant is a Grand Piano which is played whilst you eat the most succulent fried fish served to you in double quick time.
I have been here many times and have never been disappointed. The owner runs a tight ship and the emphasis is on service and the customer. How it should be !
Highly recommended.

Excellent venue for your early evening meal prior to a concert at the Albert Halls

Fish superb and equally matched by the attentive service - delightful mellow experience

Have just come back from Cornwall where we ate fish and chips in some very well-known cafes. And, believe me, Nothing but NOTHING measures up to our Olympus in Bolton. Now I accept that fish and chips is a very subjective dish- what goes into the batter, degree to which the chips are browned etc etc. But even allowing for all this I honestly can't imagine Olympus being bettered anywhere in Britain for taste, service and generally civilised surroundings. A pensioners' special every Friday is one of the highlights of my week- this might seem sad but if you order a cod and chips with bread and tea at Olympus you'll understand what I mean. And as it's Friday lunchtime that's where we're off to now.....
