Olympus Fish & Chip Restaurant 37-39 Great Moor Street Bolton Lancashire BL1 1SW

Locals tell me that the Olympus Fish & Chip Restaurant used to be just a small take-away with a dining room for a handful of covers. Well, the take away is still there, and looks good value, but it's now next to a giant dining room that was pretty much packed when I visited on a Thursday lunch time.

Fish and chips are close to the ideal for me. A well proportioned fillet, no skin; enough chips but enough that they still represent a side rather than the main stock of the meal, classic mushy peas without the addition of mint or other flavourings. Service was swift - you order at a counter but an army of servers are around the room, making sure that the (mostly retired, I'm guessing) clients are happy.

Recommended, at less than £8 a head.
