I had heard about these delicious English-style pork pies from several sources so I got the husband and the dog into the car and headed to Fall River early Saturday morning as they close at 3 and often sell out. The trip down South Main Street reminded me of when I lived in Providence (many years ago) and lived in a neighborhood like the locale surrounding this bakery. It was just what you might expect, small counter, freezer case, ATM and not much else but a tray of freshly made stuffies on the counter calling to me. I ordered 8 small pork pies, two fruit turnovers (for the ride home), a couple of stuffies, and a slice of carrot cake for Hubby. The world-weary woman who assembled all of this was very nice and gave us extra gravy for the pork pies. There was another woman working there that had a turkey hat on her head, so we'll just leave that on the table too. Hubby said the carrot cake was delicious. Huge square with cream cheese frosting. The fruit turnovers were a little lacking in fruit but the pastry was delicious. The stuffies had way too much ground choriço in them and the quahogs were overcooked and rubbery. Oh, and dry. The real star were the pork pies! I popped them into the oven and opened up the gravy. The gravy was VERY this. I'm glad she gave us extra. I boiled it down and reduced it down by 1/2 and it was just delicious! The prices are insane at this place too. This is a little hole in the wall place you would drive right by so use your GPS and go there. Delicious Pork Pies! read more

Great place great people great pies. Gave me extra gravy with my frozen pork pie. A Fall River Gem

Delicious Turkey Pie! Had it frozen and followed the directions exactly and it turned out beautiful and delicious! You can tell the crust is homemade and there was plenty of turkey and sauce inside. I heard the turkey is only available for November and December but I already have a chicken one frozen as well. Great food for the money! read more

I Heart Hartley! I discovered Hartley pies after receiving a Goldbelly (a national food shipping website) gift card. After going through the positive Yelp reviews for Hartley's, I decided to order a combo pack with 2x 9" meat pies (chicken & pork). The order process was easy and went very smooth. They confirmed, updated and provided all the shipping info I needed, up until it was at my front door. Hartley staff did a very good job packaging the frozen pies and sauces. Everything was still frozen with more than enough ice to last a couple days. They sent my packaging list with a hand written thank you from Amy along with a bunch of stickers. The pies were easy to bake with ample instructions. Both pies were delicious especially with the sauce they sent. The meats were tender, the sauce was flavorful and the crust was flakey. The price was significantly greater if you order through Goldbellly to accommodate for shipping. I will definitely stop by their shop when in Massachusetts. I gave 5 stars for the service and product of Hartley's despite the Goldbelly additional charges. read more

This is a cash only joint! I kind of figured that when I went there, so no big deal. I went around 4:30, 30 min before they close. The problem there is that they were out of large fresh pies (frozen only). But I am single and I was happy to try multiple flavors of the small fresh pies. Unfortunately, they were out of buffalo chicken and salmon! Bummer . I went with meat, pork and chili. Don't sleep on the chili! It was delicious. Pork too! Meat was ok. The big surprise at Hartley's is the price on baked goods. Sick of inflation? Try Hartley's! Cupcakes are $1.50. Big brownies are $2.00. The list goes on. At a bakery like Fratellies, prices would be 2x-3x more. Get some baked goods . I'll definitely be back. read more

Super solid pork pies, love the broth on top, very flavorful. Price is great. No card, cash only. read more

We once said til death do us Partleys But that was way back at the Startleys For awhile, was pretending But I knew it was ending When she didn't like pork pies at Hartley's I had been to New England many times, but I had Hartley noticed all the great places in Fall River, and you can Hartley say you've been to New England until you come and get authentic British pork pies at Hartley's. It's hard not to love Hartley pork pie shop. I loved Pork Pies ever since I was a little kid. It's not the kind of thing I would ever get into now because I try not to eat processed meats but back in the day I was a big muncher of these things and whenever I go back to England if I am near one of the great places such as Melton Mowbray - the town that invented them - then I will definitely sample a few. There are some truly spectacular ones around England. It's a product that is phenomenal on every level. So Hartley's. These ones are nowhere near the best I've had but they are definitely near enough the best I've had in America and there is something to be said about that. Not to mention that the older woman working here is one of the friendliest people I've encountered in all of New England and they have quite a good variety. She was so eager for me to try some different stuff that she literally gave me extra pies and insisted that I give them a go. I enjoyed every bite especially the one with the hot gravy. I will definitely come back here whenever I'm in Fall River and I just hope that they're doing enough business to stay in business because it's so out of the way and it's so unusual and it's quite an extraordinary little place and I support it absolutely thoroughly fully, and with all of my heart. So if you have bad things to say, don't even STARTLEY Some pork pies are doodles, these ones are ARTLEY If you're shopping online, hurry, add them to your CARTLEY Cause the best pork pies outside England are from HARTLEY WHAT read more

My favorite place ever. I've been getting meat pies from here for over 30 years. I live in California and I'm so happy they partnered with Goldbelly. It's been years since I've been in person but everyone who works there is amazing. If you are anywhere near here RUN and get as many pies as you can. If your far away order from Goldbelly. I guarantee you won't be disappointed read more

I had Hartley's Pork Pies bookmarked for a long time and on our recent visit to Fall River we decided to check them out. What a little gem! These are the kind of places I love about visiting Fall River!!! We walked into this small store front on a busy street (plenty of nearby parking) and were greeted by a lovely woman behind the counter. We told her it was our first visit and she was happy to fill us in on the details of the store. They specialize in pork pies, but they have many other kinds...beef, chicken, chourico etc. They have full size as well as mini pies. Cooked up or ready to cook. They also have a small case of baked goods and one of their specialties is carrot cake we were told (next time). We decided on trying the original pork pie already cooked and it came with a side of gravy. We also decided to try 2 raspberry turnovers. Prices are very reasonable here. The pork pie was $7. and the turnovers were $1. a piece....total came to $9.! We ended up heating the pork pie the next night for dinner and it was delicious! We'll definitely try the other flavors and maybe buy some extras to freeze. The raspberry turnovers were also very good!! Another place to add to our Fall River trips! read more

Original Pork Pies and lots more. Every item full of quality ingredients that has been delighting for years. It's mostly a take-out so look through the all the items, you'll see it's hard to choose. Besides their pies I love the Stuff Quahogs, Scallop Stuffing and of course the pastry. You got to try the desserts my favorites are Rice Pudding, Brownies and surprisingly Cannolis with Real Cream & Chocolate Chips. Nice parking for in-and-out during your fast day.

Friendly family owned business with great food.. Meat pies and desserts are delicious

Been going here for 35 years. Place is an absolute gem in the rough. The pies are just as good as they were when I was a kid going here with my grandparents. read more

Wow not only is this place historic, cute, fairly priced, and convenient... it's almost pure deliciousness packed in each pie. I tried the pork pie, meat pie, and buff chicken and like them in that order. The traditional pie was so perfect you have to get it. The dough is crusty and holds the meat well, but crumbles perfectly with each bite. The gravy is watery, but somehow perfect for the pie? I would maybe ask for extra on my mini. The meat is dense, fresh, and just right. It's almost like a sausage in there but not overly spiced, just pork salt and pepper. It's a dense patty of meat inside. The meat pie is much lighter inside, more spiced as well. It is beef, pork and mashed potatoes blended into a whip almost. Very good but just get the pork. The buff was ok, I'm more a traditionalist. The small pies are 2.25 and 2 is plenty for lunch. They give you the pork with gravy which is an absolute must. The reallll steal here is the frozen family sized pie for 7$. It's enough to feed 3-4 well and it bakes perfectly. They give you a huge cup of frozen gravy which warms up so perfectly. The carrot cake was huge and very carroty which I loved. I would get it again. Just get a frozen pork pie and eat it with your family one night, you can taste the wholesome ingredients, hard work, and history of Fall River and New England. read more

I spent the day with a friend with Portuguese roots down in the Fall River area on our way to Portsmouth Rhode island. A mandatory stop was at this unpretentious pork pie take out joint. It's truly small. If a line formed with three people, the last one would be outside. But, it's a joy. Behind the counter and up some stairs is their kitchen, enticing smells wanting down. a small display case with hand drawn signs identifies their offering. These are small pies, almost a perfect three inch cylinder, look almost identical, fork impressions on the rim, a tiny stream hole in the top. What to pick?I love chili so my pick had a red tinge. Chicken is yellow, beef darker. Warmed either in a microwave or oven, they are irresistible. Dense, filling, satisfying. If you live on the North shore, there's Thwaites in Methuen. But if you're down in the Fall River area, stop at Hartley's. Just don't be third in line. read more

Yelp and Trip Advisor reviewers loved this place, so we had to try it. We travel from Northern Vermont to the Rhode Island seashore 4-5 times a year. Having a meal ready to go when we arrive at either place is a real convenience. If there are fresh pies , we get one or two. We always buy a few frozen also. We come with a cooler and wether frozen or fresh, they are ready from the oven in 45- 60 minutes. This gives us time to unpack, toss a salad, pour the wine and presto, fantastic dinner. My favorite pie here is filled with Salmon . Our families love the chicken. Our neighbors love the pork. The pies are chock full of delicious meat. No potato, carrot, etc. They are wonderful gifts for our cat sitter. She knows her dinner is taken care of the night we arrive home. read more

I am in heaven a after discovering this amazing bakery! Pies are like old fashioned English Savory pies ! Bought 1 dozen on my first visit of individual pies, came back the next day and bought 40!

Amazing ! Classic and an incredible economy. The chicken pot pies are to die for. The gravy is great! I like the Buffalo chicken

Very tasty pies, best served warm. Make sure to ask for extra gravy. The pork pies crusts were delicious, though be aware that the pie crusts are made with lard. The pork was very tender and flavorful. As for the buffalo chicken pies, they are also very delicious. However, I would suggest getting the individual ones, as the larger ones dry out easily. We also tried the scallop stuffies, which were a change from the clam stuffies. The stuffies were flavorful, a little bit spicy, best served warm. read more

Pastry and its filling are important parts to making a good pie. Hartley's excel at both. Filling wise, the pork is flavourful without being at all too fatty. You can try it with the gravy but if you want to really taste the filling you must try it without. By far this place produces some of the best savoury pies this side of the Atlantic. read more

Best bakery around! What a selection of meat pies and sweets! Worth the drive from New Bedford. Homemade gravy too! Cash sales but there is an ATM if you need it. Best to call first to order to insure they have enough. read more

I just wish they would ship their pies! For years, we've driven from Baltimore to the Cape overnight to avoid traffic. Hartley's changed all of that. We now time our bi-annual trip north to arrive at Hartley's at mid-morning. I dream of the chorizo mini pies, and my husband dreams of the buffalo chicken and the chorizo. We were not overwhelmed by the pork pie, but to be fair, we had it several days after purchase and without the sauce. I'll have to try it fresh next time. Also used some of our mini pies to pay to stay at friends houses... Next time I'm bringing a cooler for the ride home so we can stock up! read more

I was irritated that Hartley's was not included in Yelp's list this week of great meat pie spots, I guess it must be because there aren't enough reviews. The pies here are fantastic. The meat is all freshly ground or shredded and the flaky pastry dough is amazing. I like that you can buy a large pie for a family meal, and small pies for a snack or lunch. read more

Stopped in to check out some pies. I was worried they may be sold out since I stopped by in the afternoon. But they have everything on their menu board . They also had a large case of desserts that were insanely cheap. $1.00 for a cupcake?? $2.50 for a container of bread pudding? So worth it. I've only tried the famous pork mini pie so far. It was good, but was surprised when it was more of a pork meatball inside the thick pie crust. Definitely worth the stop to check them out though. Service was very friendly as well. read more

So I had to always wanted to go to the store because I do love a good meat pie and we had the opportunity as we took a ride out to Tiverton and back on a nice day. I was not happy though to see that at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic they were not being socially distant and socially aware. I had to wait outside until the store was empty before I could go in and feel comfortable purchasing anything. They had a nice selection of pastries and puddings and pork pie and meat pie. The meat pies come in single serve size as well as the regular 9 or 10 inch pie size. We took home two of the large pies and put them in the freezer as we were stocking for the future. But after a few days we did take one out and heated up because we couldn't wait. It was absolutely delicious and very much what I remember my great-aunt making when I was younger. We also tried the rice pie and bread pudding and those were pretty good as well but I would definitely return the just for the meat pies. read more

I would question the quality and veracity of their pork pies. I've enjoyed their pies for many years, however the pork pie I had last week tasted & looked more like 10% pork and 90% hamburger. It did NOT taste like a pork pie at all! It's sad but lately the quality of their pies has definitely taken a nose dive. read more

Wow...no reviews for Hartley's?!? This is a damn fine meat pie. And, it's an attractive meat pie and inexpensive. We had the pork version. Tasty, but not my favorite. I prefered the chicken pie. read more

This is the real deal kids. It doesn't get any better than this outside of my grandmothers kitchen. The chili pie is to die for along with the meat and chicken pies. I've only had those so far. They also have great bakery items like the carrot cake. Excellent all around. Plus they deliver!!!! read more

I can't really complain about Hartley's, they make pork pies, come on, in the USA trying to find a decent pork pie is tough, its all a matter of taste, depending on where you are from in the UK you will have your own idea of what a pork pie should look and taste like. I find the ones at Hartley's to have a decent crust, the pork and the pastry is a little too dry and the meat way too grey, i'm used to pies from Lishman's in Ilkley Yorkshire where they are undoubtedly the best in the world (again, personal taste!) so i'm not the best person to really judge, once you've had the best, everything else is just a poor imitation! Parking is easy as there's a lot next to the building, its very easy to find as its on the main street. The shop has been there for decades, and the pie presses i believe came from Huddersfield West Yorkshire, so i'm partial to that being i grew up only 7 miles away! The girls in the shop are awesome, very friendly and always happy to see you, one of the old guys, not so much, but one sour puss didn't tarnish my view on Hartley's, they are doing a great job. read more

I came here the other day and was amazed at their low prices. We bought 2 large pies and 3 little pies and it only came to $23! There is no seating space inside so you can tell that this is a business catered to the people who want to take everything to go. I tried the buffalo chicken pie and it was delicious! I had it cold and it was really good. Not too spicy, but I could still tell that it was buffalo chicken. I would definitely go back and get some more and I would heat them up this time because I bet they're even better warm. Also, the cash register being used was what I am guessing the original cash register for the store so it is not electronic and it's made out of wood so this place definitely gets benny points for that read more

Love this place I usually get a selection of the mini pies delish! My favorite is chicken and pork get extra gravy!!!! I also enjoy the scallop stuffing and STUFFED MUSHROOMS are the ultimate! Stuffies are a bit too spicy for my liking but that's me... Don't leave without a slice of heaven CARROT CAKE... Enjoy read more
