An orangery in Bolton! Surely not! But here the Olympus has truly come of age. A dedicated Fish and Chip restaurant to rival, nay beat, its famous rival Rarry Hamsden! The family run business cares for its customers from their entry to exit.
Staff dedicated to producing the finest quality fish and chips with a good service to boot. Not a waiter service for orders - go to the till.
Make sure you visit the toilets!!

We stumbled on this restaurant during a brief visit to Bolton and were not aware that the Olympus was known for their fish & chips. We ordered sandwiches and sat there eating and wishing we had ordered fish & chips as everyone else. Our food was good and serice was excellent. When we go back you can be sure that we will enjoy our visit. PS: This is not a fancy restaurant but everyone is made to feel at home. Don't pass it up if you are in Bolton.

I tried Olympus on a whim a couple of months back, and I've been back constantly since!
Firstly, the service is wonderful! You're greeted at the door and shown to your table, told about specials, how to order etc, and if you've been before, you're remembered fondly! All of the staff are smartly dressed and smile often, and are lovely to talk to. They can't do enough for you!
The owners are often at the order point, and sometimes come over and talk to diners, which is a lovely experience. The female owner has her own recipe for tartare sauce which is both served and sold in the restaurant, and is frankly the best tartare sauce I've ever tasted!
Moving on to the food. The menu has a great selection and a good variety of fish types, as well as alternative meals rather than fish and chips style. The fish is wonderfully tasty and the batter is the best I've ever had on a fish, both crispy, tasty and fresh. The chips are fluffy and tasty too. You know that the food has been cooked fresh, and not kept under a hot lamp or anything.
The venue itself is modern contemporary, bright, spacious and very clean, and decorated in a lovely modern style with pleasant soft music playing. The toilets are also very clean and modern.
I've thoroughly enjoyed every visit I've had to Olympus, and tell all of my friends and family about it, and to try it out themselves, from the warm welcome at the door, to the staff helping you put your jacket on as you leave, and thanking you for your custom.
Bravo, Olympus. Best fish and chip restaurant by far!

Really excellent fish & chips, every time. I'm not basing my review on one visit, but on many many visits. Every time the service is exceptional & the food fantastic value for money. My family & I have a bet every time we visit - who can get their coats on quick enough to outsmart the excellent restarant manager who ALWAYS try's to hold our coats for us!! Love the Olympus (don't forget to buy their fab home made tartare sauce to take home- best I've tasted!)

We went to Olympus as part of the National Holiday package and was very pleasantly surprised by the welcome, the food and the entertainment (40's theme all the staff and singers were in war time apparel). The three course meal was excellent. Starter Mushroom soup (which i thought I couldnt eat as it usually has cream added but not this time) really tasty, Fish chips and mushy peas all yummy and cooked to perfection (not easy when 100 people to feed at once).
The only small critisism was the bar - under staffed and a queue for 20 minutes to just reach the bar - then 15 more minutes for the drink to be brought to our table.

I am a regular at this fish and chip restaurant.
Probably the best fish and chips in the world, (I do not exaggerate) served in surroundings that would not look out of place in a five star hotel restaurant, with service to match!
The owner makes customer experience a full time occupation and is very concerned to get the fine details right, quality of food, ambiance and service. He has recently extended, what was already a great restaurant to include an orangery with a little garden patio area. He has also installed a fantastic sound system to give music to create the right mood.
Apart from the traditional fish and chips, they also serve salads, moussaka, jacket potatoes, desserts, breakfasts and others. I really enjoyed my steamed to order salmon with chunky golden chips and mushy peas, presented beautifully. My husband had the traditional cod and chips and peas. Both were as usual, delicious. A refreshing change from the mass produced stuff and indifferent service that you cannot get away from in the usual British dining experience......total price with tea, bread and butter and an ice cream sundae, under £20.
From the greeting at the door to the fact that they help you on with your coat at the end, this place cannot be beaten......

never been before until this week and will certainly go again. Food good, good value, but the service is delightful. The wait staff actually smile and help! Nothing is too much - even helped me put my coat on. Make sure you leave a tip - they're worth it. This is the way British restaurants should operate!!

I love this place for the excellent friendly staff and welcome you get when you arrive. It is a place I have been visiting for a long time and the service never fails to amaze. The food is excellent and good value for money and I would thoroughly recommend it to others!
I am not a fish eater but those I go with do eat fish and they say it is one of the nicest around, for people who do not wish to eat fish then there is other choices on the menu!
One of these days I will try there new breakfasts they advertise!
