A Wonderful Find in the Heart of Bolton... We’ll Definitely Be Back!
We discovered Olympus Fish & Chip Restaurant almost by chance after arriving at Bolton Bus Station, and what a fantastic find it turned out to be.
From the moment we walked in, the experience was excellent. A lovely member of staff immediately realised it was our first visit and kindly explained how everything worked and how to order. That first impression really set the tone for the rest of our meal.
The restaurant itself is charming, comfortable and very welcoming. I particularly loved the conservatory area, which somehow reminded me of some of the lovely traditional restaurants you find in northern Spain.
We paid just over £35 for two meals and ordered the house Cod & Chips. The food arrived remarkably quickly and was absolutely delicious, beautifully cooked cod with a wonderfully light, crispy batter and proper chips. Exactly what you hope for from a great British fish and chip restaurant.
The service deserves a special mention. During our meal, a waiter checked that everything was alright and that we had everything we needed. After our plates were cleared, we were asked once again whether we had enjoyed everything. Those little touches make such a difference.
We finished with a delicious coffee, which was included with the meal, and I was also genuinely impressed by the special offer available for pensioners. It is a thoughtful touch and something you don't see everywhere these days.
But perhaps my favourite moment came as we were leaving. One of the young gentlemen on the staff actually came over and opened the door for my wife and me. Such a simple, old-fashioned gesture of courtesy, yet these days it really stands out. It was the perfect way to finish a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
Excellent food, lovely surroundings, attentive staff and genuinely warm hospitality.
If you're looking for a proper Fish & Chips experience in Bolton town centre, I can wholeheartedly recommend Olympus.
Five stars from us, and we will most certainly be back!

Old rambling hotel… I am sure has seen better days..the staff esp Kenny, Chuti and Samuel were particularly professional and helpful.. much appreciated. The executive room was in good state with good shower, just the extensions of the hotel can be confusing. The breakfast is fine with clean restaurant and help staff

Really excellent, friendly staff. But the facilities are very tired and desperately need a upgrade. Very little car parking. Intercom broken (for weeks!), so even getting in late evenings is an annoyance.

Position is strategic next to the bus station. Rooms are ok, quiet but bed is not comfy. Breakfast is quite good.

In November 2011, Dave D said about Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
three words sum up our experience - wow wow wow.
we were married in central avenue suite before holding our reception in the windsor suite.
our designated co-ordinator Marie was injured in a car crash and had to take time off work this lead to some slight issues however when we voiced concern the general manager, Eric Spencer-Smith, he gave us his personal guarantee that he would oversee our special day personally. what followed was nothing short of perfection.
Eric gave us his mobile number and sat in on meetings and tasting evening and every request was granted. he even gave us a few recommendations of his own which was appreciated.
on the day itself we had a lot of guests travel long distances, most stayed in the hotel and Eric and his team allowed them to check in early to get ready.
the day was overseen by Eric, Paul Smith operations manager ( who had moved to another hotel but returned for our day ) , Sue ( Pauls relacement ) and all other high ranking members of staff..
their attention to detail and care went above and beyond our expectations.
the ceremony went beautifully, we and our guests were not just looked after but cared for.
the reception was run by Paul with an army of helpers, the meal ( soup, chicken with haggis and dessert) was served piping hot and it seemed to just appear. all tables received were served in no time so there was no-one finished before others were served.
I had requested trifle for dessert all other had a trio ( pannacotta, chocolate truffle, sticky toffee pudding) which would not have been out of place at a 3 star michelen restaurant.
my trifle stole the show, Eric presented me with a 3 foot tall cocktail glass filled with enough trifle to feed an army, he decorated it with sparklers for extra effect.
previously i had requested that the word individual was forgotten when my dessert arrived but once again Eric went way beyond my dreams.
getting married is a wonderfull thing but planning a wedding can be fraught. Eric and his amazing team made it stress free and easy.
our wedding day was perfect from the moment we woke up until we went to bed thanks to the guys at Mercure Bolton West.
i cant praise or thank them enough, they are simply wonderful.

In August 2026, HM said about The Last Drop Village Hotel & Spa
The surroundings of the hotel were absolutely lovely, with lots of greenery which made it feel really peaceful and relaxing. The spa was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. It had a lovely pool which, although it wasn’t heated, was great for lane swimming, as well as a really nice thermal suite with a sauna and aroma rooms.
However, there were a few areas that could be improved. The room itself felt quite dated and didn’t have a fridge, which would have been useful. Breakfast was also a little disappointing, particularly as there weren’t many halal options available. We opted for the vegan breakfast instead, but unfortunately didn’t find it particularly enjoyable. There were also dogs around the breakfast area, which I personally found quite unhygienic and uncomfortable while eating.
The service could have been a little more attentive too. At breakfast, we were given a menu and then the staff member walked away without explaining how ordering worked or coming back to take our order.
Similarly, when checking in at reception, we were mainly just given our room card. It would have made the experience much smoother if we had been given a quick introduction to the hotel, including where the spa and breakfast areas were located and their opening times. We ended up having to call reception several times to ask for this information.
Overall, the setting and spa were beautiful and really enjoyable, but the rooms, breakfast options and level of service could definitely be improved to make the stay feel more welcoming and organised.
