Olive Press - Bolton Description

olive press restaurant boltonOlive Press has arrived at Bolton, situated on Nelson Square just off Bradshawgate. Ideally located for the business and retail areas of Bolton, Olive Press is right at the heart of the community. There is plenty of space with seating for 135 through three dining areas and two bars. The interior is rustic in appearance, invoking natural finishes such as oak flooring, raffia lighting and farmhouse furniture, nicely contrasted with modern glass and some contemporary flooring.

From his open kitchen, Head Chef Karl Popple keeps a tight eye on working to a menu that requires dexterity and constant attention to keep it at the high standard people have come to expect of Olive Press. The blend of young, vibrant staff make this a friendly and welcoming experience. It is a great place for that family gathering, when you can let the children make their own pizza whilst you enjoy an appetiser or a starter from their extensive menu.

You can go into the Olive Press and have a great sandwich for lunch or a simple pizza or pasta as a meal - or you could really let rip and enjoy a three course dinner, including their 21 day old matured rump steak with garlic butter or pepper sauce, with wine in the evening.

So talking of starters, what's on offer? Red pepper minestrone makes a bracing introduction, but then so do spicy lamb meat balls with tomato and bacon. Quince jelly and flat bread is served with an artisan chicken live pate, and for those who can't wait to latch on to that fishy flavour there's a choice of deep fried chilli squid, or mussels with soave, garlic and cream.

An Olive Press lasagne never fails to please - a simple dish but a satisfying one. Baked gnocchi, baked salmon and mozzarella macaroni, or prawn with garlic butter and spring onion spaghetti all ring the bells too. From the oven or char grill there's a delightful fish and seafood casserole, escalope of veal with creamed wild mushroom, or crisp duck leg with soft blue cheese polenta, crisp pancetta and red wine.

The stone baked pizzas have delicacy - none of your superannuated roofing tiles here - the base an accompaniment rather than a conversation stopper, with the customary well-loved toppings, none more so that the asparagus and smoked salmon with soured cream and spring onions.

Olive Press takes the requirements of children very seriously, and their own menu, designed with pleasure in mind, comes complete with some little puzzles to solve whilst waiting for their order to arrive. As well as making up their own pizza, Little Olives, as they tend to become for the duration, can choose from a pasta selection, sandwiches and garlic bread, burgers, or chicken, before moving in on the knickerbocker glory or banana split.

Meanwhile parents and favourite uncles can contemplate a warm double chocolate brownie with chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream.

A well balanced wine list rarely strays far from Italy and includes limoncello, that wonderful classic digestif from Capri. A recent, and much welcomed introduction is their three course Sunday lunch menu at only £15.50, or £7.50 for children.

For further details, including latest deals, menus and images, their Website should prove invaluable. The menu changes twice a year - for Autumn/Winter in September and in March for Spring/Summer.
