Olympus Fish and Chip Restaurant
Latest Reviews
Monday, 6pm, hungry. Discovered Olympus. Wow. Staff friendly, helpful & the teapot was on the table before I had finished ordering! The fish & chips were perfect. Crispy light batter & non greasy chips. I do not like mushy peas but these were lovely. Best fish & chips I've had & I've had some good ones. Visiting again asap to hear the pianist while I enjoy more f & c.

Myself and my partner ate here on a Friday night and were surprised when they had a piano player playing some fantastic music whilst we were tucking into our food.
This is a large and spacious establishment, with polite and friendly staff and a credit to Bolton.
I had the cod "Just Enough" special. The fish was coooked beautifully, chips were not greasy and I also ordered mushy peas which were tasty and didn't have a nasty bicarb flavour afterwards. My partner had the steak pudding "Just Enough" meal and he found his to be as equally tasty and great value for money.
I would 100% recommend this place to others. My parents used to run a fish and chip restaurant so I know quality when I taste it, and it makes it taste even better in such great surrounings.
We will be visiting again very soon!

Being bolton born and bred i actually don't like to visit bolton town centre...the only reason we head that way is to visit this fantastic restaurant.
Being a non drinker i love a meal out, me and my husband eat out alot and enjoy trying new places....Olympus is amazing.
Good old fish and chips you can't beat it... pair that with being served by the most lovely of staff, who are pleasant, smile and really do want you to enjoy the overall experience.
For those who say it's over priced, It really isn't, it's cheaper for a take away or visit another bolton town platic chair cafe, but isn't that to be expected! the service, the atmosphere and the piano and other events they put on are well worth it...i'd pay extra every time to sit and enjoy a good brew (not cheap rubbish teabags) eat well and enjoy the orangery and pleasant surrounding all the while enjoying the A1 service.... best by far... well done to all of them who work there great food great service great atmosphere.

I really enjoy going to the Olympus, the service is excellent always greater t the door and directed to a table. The food is good.I first went in for a pensioners special although I was not a pensioner at the time. The portion is just a little bit smaller but just as good. I have been a pensioner for a number of years now and still like the specials.
I would recommend anyone to go to this restaurant whatever age. You can still buy specials.

Very high standard. If Fish and Chips are your thing, then this is definitely worth a visit. The guy who owns/runs the place takes his business very seriously and that certainly shows. Food standard, service and menu variety all excellent!

This place is always busy mainly with pensioners who get an offer. It's a glorified chippy but expensive. Try Alice's on Churchgate the food is better, menu the same.

Being from Bolton this is the first time I had ventured into Olympus and it certainly won't be the last. I ordered chips, pie and peas which arrived promptly despite it being a busy part of the day and unlike many other establishments it was cooked and tasted as it should without any excess grease or fat. The setting was very welcoming and there was service with a smile and a valued word for each and every customer regardless of their age/group. There was also a man playing the piano in the middle of the diners and the place was very modern and spotlessly clean. Valued service = returning custom. You can see why it is a popular place in Bolton and beyond and it is well worth paying that bit extra for.

The restaurant is very classy, with plenty of friendly, smartly dressed staff. We had fish, chips and peas, followed by homemade apple pie and custard. All the food is freshly prepared and very well presented. The service was excellent. Will certainly go back again.

While in Bolton came across this fantastic fish & chip restaurant warmly greeted as soon as I entered. Enjoyed the pensioners special, which was perfect for a light lunch, including bread & butter and lots of tea, superb value, and very clean. And everything cooked to perfection.

Have visited this restaurant twice whilst in Bolton for a concert. Very impressed with the quality of the service, the cleanliness, atmosphere, and menu choice. This will always be our first choice for a meal in Bolton.

Visit here regularly with my husband, today we took the 2 youngest grandchildren with us. How excited they were to sit and eat there fish and chips in such lovely surroundings with a pianist playing. The food was excellent as always, the staff faultless as always, had a lovely time. The comments from the grandchildren..this is well posh grandma!! Look forward to visiting again and im positive the grandchildren will definitely want to return. As regards to cost you get what you pay for Good quality food.

My sister and brother-in-law insist on going to the Olympus every time they visit me from Ireland.
They say "Not only is it the best chippie in England, its the best in the British Isles".
Food is great, service is great, and Taseo and his staff make you feel as if you are really special.
I have never been helped of with my coat anywhere, not even in the poshest of resturants which charge a fortune. This is one of the thing that make it unique.
Well done Taseo and his lovely family, we could do with more places like yours in England.

It's a perfect place to take visitors to the north west to taste wonderful traditional fish and chips with bread and butter and a pot of tea. The service is excellent and friendly - they'll help you with your coat! and there's a new grand piano with a pianist playing gently in the background.

OK, it's better equipped and laid out than most chippies but what do you want from a chippy ?
The area isn't great and the parking busy, watch out for the ever vigilant wardens. Chips were excellent from good chipping spuds, hot and freshly made. The fish was well overpriced at nearly £5 or a large cod (and it wasn't large even then).
Overall its not cheap and there's many better chippies out there for a lower price unless you feel thats it vital to eat your chips to music. Overrated I'm afraid..

I visited Olympus tonight for the first time. I couldn't fault it. From the moment we walked through the door to leaving we had lovely attentive service from the staff. The food was tasty and the surroundings well .... I've never listened to the background sound of an accomplished pianist whilst eating fish and chips.
Everything was faultless!

I took a group of 75 persons to this fabulous establishment on Monday, 27th May.
The food as excellant and the service great.
We were entertained with music and songs from the 40s.
This was superb in every way and I would not hesitate in recomending a visit here by a group or any person.
I cannot understand the previous review.
Well done to Tasos and his staff.

I visit The Olympus on a regular basis, usually with family members. We have always found the food to be excellent. Usually we have fish and chips, but there are enough choices to please most people. What always makes it a pleasurable meal is that the staff are very pleasant, well-trained and thoughtful. My aunt (aged 93), visits on her own as well as with us, and is treated like royalty - but then my grand-daughter and her babies are similarly treated! This lunchtime there was the usual excellent pianist playing, and there are special events from time-to-time, e.g. an Afternoon Tea Dance and on the next May Bank Holiday a special weekend with singers etc. Well done to Tasos and his team for all they do!

Been to Olympus a few times now, and not your standard chippy! It's hard to use terms "fine dining" and "fish and chips" together, but this is what springs to mind at Olympus. From the moment you arrive, the door is opened from you by the very attentive staff, you are shown to a table, asked if this suits your preference, you may be helped off with your coat/jacket before being shown the food and drinks menu... Customer service is top priority. Forget the radio blaring at some other establishments, Olympus often has a live pianist playing - and a grand piano at that. Although they have other menu items, the main dish - fish comes in varying size from "pensioners special - with 6 chips", up to larger sizes for those with larger appetites. Restaurant is also licensed, for customers wanting a drink with meal. Of course the downside is the price, it is fairly expensive for fish and chips - but it is not expensive for a good quality restaurant with good service. If you want a top service and don't mind paying for this, then the Olympus is a winner. If you want a cheaper option without the service, then there's plenty of them around. No complaints at all about the quality of the food, very tasty piece of fish, and well cooked in delicious batter. The good service extends to when you leave the restaurant, with a friendly farewell and thanking you for your custom. There are a few seats outside the restaurant, as well as the huge indoor restaurant, but tables are well spaced apart, so you don't feel as if you are sitting on top of your fellow diners.

Great Fish and Chip (and other things) restaurant, not particularly cheap but good quality food. Really lovely staff and well worth a visit, but it does close at about 6.30 pm.

Had taken my daughter's car for an MOT so had a couple of hours free and decided to reward ourselves with a nice lunch for two. Had heard good reports of Olympus and we weren't disappointed.
Welcomed on arrival and offered a choice of tables and explained what we needed to do to order our meal.
This was easily undertaken and soon two plates of hot and tasty fish, chips and peas arrived at our table together with a hot pot of tea and a big friendly smile from the Server.
All the staff seemed to be enjoying their work and all the other diners enjoying their meals. It was a nice touch that as we prepared to go, someone came across to assist my wife with her coat.
