Olympus Fish and Chip Restaurant
Latest Reviews
We went to Bolton on march 22nd. AFter enjoying looking around the food market we treated ourselves to lunch at Olympus. Glad to go indoors because the freezing weather outside was making us hungry. We were amazed. The place was warm and welcoming. Spotlessly clean and very attentive service from the staff who were literally running round to keep orders on time. HUsband enjoyed his haddock and I cod chips and peas. The fish was very fresh tasting and the batter perfect. A good pot of tea as well although you can have alcohol. The staff were friendly, courteous and efficient. Next time we go to Bolton, definitely visit again. Came out into the cold, refreshed and happy.

All we wanted was a chippy tea and we found Olympus, a doorman opened the door and took us to our seats, there were chandeliers and a pianist. It was lovely and the food was good. It was a great suprise!

Our first visit to Bolton to support a friend performing at the theatre. The theatre experience included a meal at Olympus fish and chip restaurant prior to the show in the company of our friend. As this was his treat we cannot comment on price, but from the very moment that we entered the restaurant and were weclomed in such a personal manner, it was clear that this was rather a special place. The fish was of excellent quality - and could we be much further from the sea? - the service most attentive - and the atmosphere even further enhanced by the live piano music that was played throughout our meal. An excellent start to what was to prove a most memorable evening.

A very friendly greeting awaited us and the service with a smile continued throughout.
Quick service - just what we needed.
Nice milky coffee.
The only criticism from the visit is that the bacon was too salty for us.
For a "chippy" the interior design (with grand piano and lovely light fittings) was pretty spectacular - I think it is probably what a famous fish and chip proprietor from Guiseley would have done if he was starting out in business today.
The washrooms were probably the best and most modern and cleanest (they had just been mopped) I've seen in a restaurant (never mind a chippy) in many a year.
Top notch.

went to olympus for lunch today on a family trip, we haven't been to Bolton for a long time. was greeted at the door by a friendly, and efficient gentleman, although very busy the staff looked after us very well. Great fish & chips 2 haddock lunches, 1 cod lunch and 1 child's nuggets meal. most of all i was most impressed with the good old fashioned customer service, gent saying hello, welcome with a genuine happy smiley face, saying goodbye holding the door open. beautiful. It may not be cheap, but if you want cheap i'm sure you can find it. just not here.

We were attracted to the Olympus by the people queuing to get in. It must be good, we all thought. We waited about 15 minutes, which is 15 minutes more than I would usually wait, before being shown to our table. Then you have to go and queue to order. We went for the pensioners special at £7:20, wanting mushy peas we spent more. When it came it was a disappointment, not only was it a small portion but the fish was greasy and the portion of peas was about enough for one not the three of us. "Tartar sauce?" "Of course Sir." But when it came, in a small bowl, it had a skin on it and looked as though we weren't the first to use it. Yes, the toilets and the piano are great, I even tipped the piano player but he carried on playing, but the food was very poor. I can only think that there aren't to many eateries in Bolton, or the populace don't get out much!

Great service, friendly staff, excellent food, fish is always good, but try the mousaka, and also the scone with jam and cream, lovely!

I brought 24 people to eat here as part of an organised day trip from Birmingham . They open the door for you, nothing is too much trouble, I have not had better fish and chips since my childhood and we were all very impressed. Its no surprise that the waiters and waitress were all superb as owner Tassos leads from the front, chats to customers, clears tables and provides superlative customer service. As part of a group booking offer we returned for a cream tea and Tassos had a superb pianist on his grand piano who played suitable music and requests. An oasis in the centre of Bolton, The scones were delicious and are made by Tassos Mum to whom we were introduced, As we left we were helped to put coats on. If you want to impress your partner or a prospective partner take them here!. We will return.

Lovely atmosphere and surrounding, clean and fresh, modern style inside. A pianist added a lovely touch, making it a peaceful lunch. Service is above all, staff extremely friendly and helpful, even assisting customers with their coats. The meal itself was the best i've had in the area, with numerous meal deals.

No better fish and chips in the area. Always excellent service and great food. Spotlessly clean, great new toilet, grand piano, it is an experience. Bit pricey but worth it. Always busy tells its own story.

It's a few years since I last visited the Olympus Fish & Chip Restaurant so when I found myself in Bolton town centre one lunchtime, I decided to try it again.
After being politely welcomed by a smartly dressed member of staff, I was invited to choose a table. Once seated, a menu & cutlery were placed on the table within seconds. The menu always has a pensioners' special. There are also Just Enough, Standard & Whopper sized fish &chip meals on the menu. The Standard portion of fish includes chips, peas & a slice of white or brown bread. Beverages include a choice of :- a pot of tea, cup of coffee or a soft drink. The Standard meal costs £8.60 which is rather expensive in my opinion but the fish (Haddock) was beautiful.
When customers are leaving the restaurant, staff help cusomers on with their coats & always open the door for them, at the same time thanking them for their custom.

The Olympus restaurant has been a landmark of Bolton town centre (my home town) for many many years, serving customers from its restaurant and adjoining 'chippy'. I believe it has been owned by the same Greek family throughout its life.
The Olympus offers great food at a relatively premium price (in comparison to a traditional chippy) but it does represent excellent value given the standard of the food and surroundings.
There is a huge dining area (75+ covers), lots of extremely polite and attentive staff and the dining area itself has just been renovated to an extremely high standard.
If you are in Bolton for the day I urge you to visit this place and have lunch - you wont regret it. It offers traditional fish and chips and true hospitality. It is what Harry Ramsden's used to be!
Other restaurants could learn a lot from the Olympus.

This place is legend. Young and old and everyonen in between love this place. The fish, chips and mushy peas are absolutely oustanding. I would say that the Olympus is one of the best restaurants of its kind in the country. The place is spotless, the service exemplary and the interior, recently refurbished, is fit for a king. I know the owner Tassos personally looks after many of his regular customers - and they do return week after week because of the ambience of the place. This is no back street chippy - this is a palace to Britain's great national dish. The food is just fantastic with lovely white firm cod and haddock, perfect mushy peas and great, non greasy chips. If you come to Bolton you really must try it - you won't forget it.

This eatery in the field it represents is as good as it gets. In fact this is the best fish and chips I have sat down to eat since we dined in a similar establishment in the Northumberland fishing village of Seahouses; that was 30 years ago!
It costs £8.60 for a special meal served with a drink and bread and butter; not cheap by any means but when you enjoy your dining experience as much as we did the cost is secondary. But it has to be said there are much cheaper options on the menu.
The multitude of Staff work tirelessly for Customers, and you will never see them standing around. This is from the minute they open the door for you, till they help you on with your coat when you leave. The Management should give themselves a big pat on the back for having such a motivated workforce.
The rain was responsible for our decision to eat, thank you to the rain and we will be back asap.

An oasis of old style service and courtesy in an often bustling and distracted world. My wife and I visited during a weekday lunchtime. Greeted with genuine courtesy as we entered, a variety of tables were suggested, but we were also offered the opportunity to select our own seats.
Premises are very clean, tables, carpets etc and is well lit and decorated to a good and tasteful standard. Space between tables is generous so there is no feeling of being crammed in that you encounter in many eateries.
Food was of high quality and there is a wide variety of choice and size of meals on the menu.This business is very popular and caters equally well for singles, couples,families and senior citizens. Staff efficient but not overbearing.
There is also a traditional takeaway "Chippy" for those who are really pressed for time.
The proprietor and family are always in attendance and ensure that things run smoothly. Our waiter assisted my wife with her coat as we left , and proprietor himself worked the door as a meeter and greeter. Service and courtesy of a standard that I thought was extinct. Would not hesitate to recommend
