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

Pleasant, clean restaurant, warm personal friendly greeting. Food well cooked, served hot. Made to feel that we mattered to the staff. Service was quick and efficient, although very busy there was no pressure for us to hurry. An enjoyable experience. Will be back for more

This restaurant is great! I don't like cod, so I can get haddock here which is fantastic! A really nice restaurant with very friendly staff!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
