A quick Google of the name 'acropolis' reveals that it means 'highest city' in Greek and relates to when people would choose high ground for a place of settlement as it would make it easier to defend if they ever got attacked. Quite what this has to do with fish and chips or Ormskirk, I don't know. Perhaps the owners believe that Ormskirk is the perfect place to settle as it is hard to attack (despite it being at the bottom of a hill, making it the opposite of an acropolis really).
Name issues aside, Acropolis is a quite large and very popular chippy on the outskirts of the main town centre. As the sign above the shop boasts, Acropolis is open all day, offering customers the chance to dine on their food no matter what time. They do shut at some point though, I'm sure.
Their food is standard chippy fare - fish, sausages, pies, burgers - but all are made to a high standard and are available at fairly cheap prices. The shop's size means there is plenty of space in which customers can wait, not that you're ever waiting too long though as the service is attentive and efficient.
So, if you're looking for some decent fish and chips, Acropolis is the place to go when in the area. However, if you're looking for a good place to hide from an attack on the town, I wouldn't use this acropolis. read more
