We arrived in Bolton and were headed to 'Spoons for lunch but as we passed Olympus it looked very inviting. Sorry 'Spoons but we went in. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was excellent and well priced. The atmosphere was good, very busy, and we even got a bit of the pianist who was excellent. Only downside was they didn't have the range of drinks that 'Spoons have, but we will definitely call in again when in Bolton.

First time visiting here today-despit living in Bolton for almost 20 years and I was so impressed. Great menu, great food choice and tasted amazing! The restaurant was clean and staff super friendly-there was even a pianist playing the piano whilst we were there this afternoon. Definitely recommend this place and will be going back again!

Complex pricing . A meal with 6 chips is dearer than one with lots of chips. Food good. Gravy a bit spicy. Order at the counter which I think is a bit much in a restaurant.

My friend and i were actually looking for the wetherspoons but as we were walking past we were greeted by an amazing smell of yummy food that stopped us in our tracks. we were delighted that it was an actual resturant and not just a chippy or cafe. we were seated by the extremley helpful staff.And both enjoyed our food very much and were stuffed to the max the fish chips and proper curry sauce with sultans in was just like Blackpools , my friend had the homemade cheese and onion pie and was also very happy so i think we stubbled on a little gem of a fish and chip resturant and i will be bringing my in laws for lunch.

We are only in Bolton centre every two months or so, but always make a point of going here on our way home. Always with a slight worry that it will not be as good as our last visit, but happily it always is. From the welcome from Ali at the door, to the smile and helpfulness of all the other staff, Tasos always happy to chat with his customers, the cleanliness, but most of all the excellent quality and taste of the food. Yet again when our food arrived, we thought that we may struggle with the generous portions, but 15 minutes later found us ordering a sweet also. Faultless in every way.

Absolutely ridiculous service here. I went with my son and partner on the 26th of August. We ordered our food and after a good 30 minuets, after seeing other people receive there food who came in after us, I informed one of the waiters that we was still waiting. He said ‘I will check where it is now, I’m sorry about that’ but when he apologised he quite literally gritted his teeth like it pained him to apologise. A few minuets later an older bloke (who I assume is the manager) came out to apologise about the wait and said ‘we let the food go to another table by accident, you can have something else instead if you want’. Feeling like he wanted me to change my order choice I said ‘if I wanted something else I would have ordered something else in the first place’. He went and made my food and brought it out himself and stated ‘I have just bollocked them for sending your food to a different table’, shocked that he was swearing in front of my child I asked him to repeat himself and he again said ‘I have just bollocked them’ so I informed him my son is only 12 and that’s no way to act around your customers kids. A few minuets later i noticed my bread was missing from my plate so I asked the same guy who gritted his teeth where it was and he again apologised and looked at me very angrily. I turned around after he went to what I assumed was get my bread, and I noticed him at the bar talked to a young waitress and pointing at my table and laughing, a few minutes later a different chap came over and asked what was missing, I informed him I had just told somebody else so why does he need to come and check as it feels like I’m being accused of lying. He said ‘I’m just trying to establish the facts, which confirmed I was being suspected of lying so I told him to leave the bread as I won’t be accused of lying about some petty bread. Later on some older lady came out (I assume this is the managers wife) and she apologised and asked what had happened and how I felt, she was the only decent person I came across in this establishment.

Even the terribly bland curry sauce could not disguise how dry the chips were! Portion size was very small as well when the chips on their own were over £3.

I have been to olympus quite a few times. Food is hit and miss to be honest. Usually its yummy but had a few meals where its either been cold or greasy. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff are lovely and it's always warm which is a bonus however we are NOT Gordon ramseys restaurant here so when I go for lunch during the food festival...there's been no change to the prices on the menu or a sign up to say different and I get to the till to pay and she says that prices have increased this is a step to far. Taz is an experienced busines man and k ow that this isn't protocol. People bust their ass to go in there anyway without taking advantage of a public event. Will not be going back...what will happen next time? Telling me to fry my own fish..people have families to feed

Totally over priced, if you just want great service fine, but the fish and chips were 2nd rate, the portions are small and the batter was flat and without lift, I've had far better from a back street 'chippy' for less than half the price here.

Visited this restaurant as part of a coach trip to the area, about 25 of us in total. Immediately we arrived we were greeted by the two guys (I assume owners/managers) who made us feel incredibly welcome with their humour and verse. Venue was spotless and well kept, service was prompt and courteous. The fish and chips were among the best have had, lovely white fish and just the right amount of batter. The chips were also excellent. If anything, could have done with a few more chips (this is testament to how much I enjoyed them!) but this could have been to do with it been a "coach party" price, rather than if booked independently. Would definitely come again if in the area. PS upon leaving the restaurant, noticed a counter of delicious looking ice cream, so just sorry I didn't have enough time there to order some!

I have been lunching at Olympus Bolton along with my sister each Wednesday since years before lockdown. All the serving staff and those who take your order behind the counter, in particular Linda and also, a gentleman, I think his name is Ali, are excellent and always make us feel welcome. It is very nice when loyal custom is appreciated by the staff. We order Fish & Chips (pensioner’s special) which is good value, plentiful and delicious. The restaurant is kept clean and tidy with a good hygiene value of 5. The owner Tasos keeps a VERY keen eye on everything ensuring the service he expects from the staff is upheld. Would highly recommend, not only for lunch but afternoon tea is good as well.

This isn't just fish and Chips - this is Olympus fish and chips.... experience the difference never mind tast the difference was like dining at the savoy for service, 100% attentive staff. 100% spotlessly clean and pleasant and well though out dining areas, 100% fish,chips and pease like it used to taste like. Best fish and chips in the counrtry id say and I've travelled a lot.

Where to begin?A pandemic struck and there solution was to double, repeat, double their prices and then offer a government backed 50% reduction, fair enough but they then claimed the 50% back from the government scheme, so we paid the original prices whilst they made double via a govt. scheme, not good! Just been back in on the 17th May and prices have been maintained at the higher level, too expensive for Bolton and the quality leaves a lot to be desired, theirs much better gems in Bolton, you just have to find them, I have.

I have only ordered a few takeaways since the start of the first lockdown. Mainly because I enjoy cooking, but also because the takeaways I did have were very poor, greasy and didn't taste fresh. For me to have a takeaway, is a treat so it needs to be as good, if not better than my own cooking. Today I thought I would give Olympus a try. Instead of going through Just Eat, I decided to order directly through the Olympus website. The website is a breeze to navigate and has a comment box for specific requests. Was also good to save a bit on the price compared to the same order through Just Eat. I ordered 3 lightly battered cod, with a large portion of chips and a regular potion of chips. The food turned up piping hot and precisely on time. The delivery driver was polite, friendly and adhered to Covid precautions. Most importantly the food was excellent and the portions were massive. Definitely the best fish and chips I have had in a long time. The food was very fresh and you could tell the cooking oil was clean, without any stale aftertaste.If you have a craving for a really good fish and chips, I highly recommend Olympus. You won't be disappointed!

What is all the fuss about. People who rate this place 5 star must have never been anywhere other than Bolton to eat. There are very few English fish and chip shops in Bolton, other than takeaways that also sell kebabs and pizza so not the same. I have recently moved to Bolton so gave it a go, Ridiculous prices, for small amount of OK food. I must say takeaways and food in Bolton are quite horrid compared to where I used to live so maybe thats why people rate it a so good, because they have never been anywhere else to know what good food is for HALF the PRICE!You are all getting RIPPED OFF!

I have visited for the first time Olympus restaurant. As soon I have entered I was quickly greeted by a waiter or manager ( I couldn't guess), he told me that I can choose any seats, I have chosen a table close to the door. After that he asked me to place the order at the bar. After placing the order at the bar, I have seen the same guy taking order from two gentlemans few tables away from me. When I have seen that I felt discriminated, I have approached the waiter and ask him , why de he send me to the bar to place the order, and for other customers he takes the order from the table? He replied to me saying that them customers are relatives or friends with the owner. After hearing that I felt discriminated and frustrated , and I ask him why did he treated me differenly than other customers? Is because he saw wearing beard, or because I have chosen the table close to the entrance so potentially I could run without paying? Need to mention that the restaurant has a sign where is written : WAIT TO BE SEATED .Thre is no way you do the order at the bar.I have decided to cancel my order, and the waiter quickly grabbed the money from the till and handed me over despite I have paid by card . It is clear that he discriminated me because I was wearing beard . I strongly recommend to not visit the place in order to avoid any disappointments.

Haven't been for ages since we thought our order had been mixed up but didn't complain at the time which I realised later we should have done!. We were in Bolton to visit the museum do decided to pop into the Olympus as my nephew was hungry. We were advised by a staff member than there was a problem so only cash payments were accepted that day which was fine with us. Some people popped out to banks , I had to let my sister pay for our meal as I only had my card on me. We had a choice of tables and chose the window one, my nephew had his usual children's meal, chicken nuggets but there other options for them, it comes with a choice of drinks but we didn't see the free gift, I think that was applicable when the meals came in a box?, Either way, he never noticed ha ha My sister had a jacket potato with tuna and mayo, said it was delicious. I had pudding and chips, not had that for years!!!!!! Loved it! Saw staff members we recognised from previous visits, always a good sign. Toilets are spotless as always, staff friendly and efficient, no wonder people were queuing to come in! Plenty of choice on the menu to suit everyone, we will be coming again soon!

Went as a family party. The food is delicious and high quality. The portions aren't massive, the normal sized cod and haddock and chips are both similar to a smaller portion elsewhere BUT.... the standard was better. Some of the best haddock I've had away from the coast. I would go again but would order the mega portion I think, and accept it wouldn't be the budget option. Whatever tea they serve as part of the fish and chip meal is also delicious.

Visited this establishment last week for lunch having heard really positive things about the food. I had the cheese and onion pie special which was billed as home made cheese and onion pie. It was served with a small quantity of chips and mushy peas. Taste wise, the pie was not bad. The texture of the pie was terrible. It had clearly been microwaved so the pastry was so soggy that it just sank into the pie filling. Awful. At £8.50 this was an expensive chippy lunch which could be accepted had the chef been able to present a decent cheese and onion pie. My experience clearly differs greatly from other reviewers. On the plus side, the venue is well located and the service was efficient. That said, I will not return.

Old style service (door held open for you entering and leaving-nice touch) and genuine courtesy in a big restaurant with a Greek influence .Much more than just fish and chips,to which I was so very tempted. Huge Cumberland sausage,creamy mash and lashings of gravy (£8.50) plus a diet coke (£1.80) filled me up before a dash to catch the train-10 mins walk. Earlier tried The York pub nearly opposite the station which does not do lunchtime food.

The Olympus is not your typical Fish & Chip Restaurant. The owner is charming, the food is excellent, the service & attention to detail is first class, the restaurant was spotlessly clean, as was the stylishly designed rest rooms. What really blew me away, was the ambience created by the wonderfully talented pianist/vocalist/guitarist Chez Haynes (stage name is Leon Charles), playing a beautifully sounding grand piano, topped off by a wonderful lilting tone. He is a singer songwriter with years of experience from playing venues all around the world. I believe the Olympus also stage events such as plays, Jazz/musical evenings etc. I will most definitely be revisiting soon.

Called into Olympus today for lunch, had never been before as I had expected it to be just a chippy. What can I say! It far exceeded my expectations. The decor is lovely and the place is spotless. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious! Will definitely be going back some time soon

I've been going for years and the food is great. Tanya and the lady with the grey bob particularly do a great job and a friendly with all the customers. The restaurant is a nice treat for me too.

Service as it should be , all the staff are courteous and helpful , the food is lovely and at great prices . Would recommend everyone go there at least once and not only enjoy the food but the service which is second to none.

Went to Olympus today for lunch with the other half as she'd told me how good it was. Can't say she was wrong. Good size portions, fish very nice, chips excellent and the curry sauce was exceptional.

Visited Olympus for lunch after a shopping trip on Sunday with my mum and grandma, obviously knew it would be very busy but didn’t realise how much so until we got there!

Went for a late lunch last Tuesday after saying for ages that we need to check it out. The restaurant is large very clean and well layed out (tables were not bunch too close together). Ordering was easy and the food arrived promptly. The food was hot, the batter light and crispy, although the chips were a little small they were okay, the mushy peas were great but the portion size needs to be a little larger. All in all had a good meal in a nice restaurant.

First visit for my friend and I. Food was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the pianist, while we ate. Staff great, nothing too much trouble. Very impressed with decor and orangery. Good for wheelchair access & facilities. Hope to be back soon.

My friend and I called at lunchtime. We were cheerfully greeted and quickly shown to a vacant table. The restaurant was busy but we were quickly provided with the menu and soon our drinks and food order was taken. The menu is very extensive and caters for a wide variety of tastes and styles.

I like the Olympus, handy as I work in town but it seems every couple of months the takeaway sticks anoter 10-20p on the prices. The fish meal deal was under a fiver not that long ago today it was £7. And the fish is tiny, didn't even fill the tray. Nice foodm, cooked well but not good value

This is a first rate restaurant with a wide choice of dishes. It is warm, friendly and the food is always excellent. It seems to attract a regular clientele and can be very busy at times. I dine there at least once a week

This is trying to be more than a fish and chip shop but it’s not managing it, for fish and chips and other “with chips” meals it’s expensive you may as well eat at a restaurant. Because of where it’s situated it will continue to be successful but for a tenner you can eat your fill.

My wife and me dropped in by pure chance off the bus exchange, and what a great surprise we had !! We were met as we walked in, taken to our table and, when we ordered, the meal was superb. It may have only been Fish n' Chips, but they were cooked to perfection, and the fish was gorgeous, served with nice fresh bread and a pot of tea. My wife is somewaht a conniseur on fish and she was delighted. The waiter/ s were 1st class, very friendly and courteous to everyone who came in and went out, which is nice to see these days. All in all, a great place to eat, anytime I should imagine, but do try and drop in for their fish n' chip lunches. We'll be back next we are in Bolton Mmmmmmmmm !!!

Looking for somewhere to eat after doing a bit of shopping, we spotted Olympus fish bar, Wow! when we walked through the door we were amazed at how classy this place looked. The fish and chips were delicious, served with mushy peas, side salad and bread and butter. The staff were very friendly and polite. I would highly recommend this place

We visit Olympus ever now and again and the food is always great, full of flavour. Sometimes chippys have greasy food however Olympus doesn’t! It’s great value for money also. Would recommend!

We've been coming to the Olympus for many years as it's consistently great. The fish is beautiful and the atmosphere smart and relaxed - upmarket without being pretentious.

We came a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. Please look at my previous review. We came last night with a mrs Rainford ….. she has reviewed before….. however things didn’t go quite as they should. Our starters went ok if a little slow and then we started hearing whispers of problems in the kitchen. We felt that we were falling behind in the pecking order, then one of the waiters came and mentioned a problem but not what. Our mains arrived and on first bite me and Diane noticed our fish was cold so we called over the lady who seemed to be overall in charge and she took our plates away. So we sat back and waited. Our partners finished their dishes and shortly afterward a female waiter came and took away all the plates and dishes, bearing in mind that nobody on the table had had a sweet. About this time I got up and went to the toilet. When I returned I was told that 2 plates of lamb had been brought and taken away because neither of us ate lamb. We hadn’t been asked that question. We weren’t approached afterwards. When Steve went to the till, he was told there was no charge and could they wrap up the sweets. Steve felt it was time to make an exit and just left to meet us at the restaurant entrance. We all know it’s a training kitchen and the staff have to learn but we felt that there needed to be more guidance . We would welcome an explanation. barrym48@btinternet.com 07794195920
