Legendary place Ive been going to since mid 70s!! Friendly family establishment with Out of This World Pies, Gorton, deli! Just Top Notch.... Highly recommend!!!!

Love this market. My family has been going here for generations . Their pork pies are too good for words

Great store for meat. Their specialty is home made sausages, meat pies and more. Staff is always pleasant with their customers.

Anyone coming north/south on Rt 93 should make the quick jump off the highway to duck into this hidden away home of delishness. If you know/love a good crust, look no further--perfection. Multi generation maintenance of excellence in pub pie production & other unmatched delicacies. Dont miss it!

Great Place, My son Steven just visited and He loved it more than he loves ram ranch😁❤

The Cornish pie is incredible-cannot wait to try all the others!

I love the pies and the smell of the items being baked in the oven when you walk in there is amazing!

A hidden gem. Pork and chicken pies, as well as a great small butcher. This is fantastic. They even take orders. The holidays are particularly hectic. Place your order as soon as possible.CHEERS!

Small family market that sells the BEST chicken and pork pies. Cooked in the case ready for purchase or call ahead for cold ones. My family has frequented this little corner store for more than 40 years. It was always a huge deal for my grandmother to bring home the little pies as a special treat for us. In memory of my grandmother, thank you for making her always smile!! You are the best!

Super friendly staff, amazing pies, and a delicious assortment of sausages and meat.

The best place ever small market family owned. Love the meat pies

Best pub pies period!

This is a small market with a good selection of meats. I love the tomato sausages and pork pies. They have a large selection of individual size pies. Check out the website menu. Im sure youd fine one youd like.

Great service, great food, friendly people!

Pork pie chic pie tomato sausage wachusetts potato chips low price

This is a staple of the community. The quintessential corner store.I have been going to this market since I was a little kid and its as great today as it was back then. The quintessential family corner store. Fantastic butcher shop and their homemade offering are the best. Their pies are famous and there are many types but I stick to the pork and chicken, occasionally if they are availble a lamb or Turkey will make it in the box. Other items of note, Scotch eggs, bangers, gorton, Boudin, Polony,and their beans. Great place to pick up some hard to find UK foods, especially HP sauce

Amazing meat pies and friendly staff eager to take orders.

Love this place!! Pork pies are crazy DELISH!! The Thwaites are awesome, us Muldowney’s have been coming here for over 70 years.

Drove up from Stoneham...worth the trip!!!

No words can truly describe this place. All I can say and many wil agree. Just go and go crazy. Good luck leaving the lot without eating one

Oh my god. Best pie Ive had in years, better than most in the UK too. Get the steak pie hot, you wont regret it.

They are awesome and they. Are the Best English meat market areound. The pork pies and tomato sausage pies are highly recommend!!!

This place should be a national landmark! Stands the test of time with the sweet meats and chicken pot pies that make you cry 😢. May you stay open forever and ever and ever

Open in the early 1900sBy far the best place for pork pies.

Delicious Pies! The BEST!

Proper pork pies...perfection!

Been going here since I was a kid, over 20 years. Pies are fantastic!

Great delicious food 👍🔥💯

Best meat pies hands down!

Great meat pies that are served warm and never seem to make it all the way home without being eaten.

Delicious pies for sure! Saw them on Phantom Gourmet and realized I live 10 min away. We bought an assortment of pies and ground meats. So far the chicken is our favorite (the pork was a little under-seasoned). Very friendly back counter staff that were helpful and eager. The cashiers could use some coffee and a smile though. Would definitely come back.

Great Pies and Meats👍

Grew up eating their chicken and pork pies and theyre always as good as I remember. Staff is always friendly and willing to go above and beyond. A Methuen institution and an inseparable part of our community identity.

Great individual pork pies! Tried the hamburger and onion and found the flavor surprisingly similar to the pork for those who can’t or do not eat pork.

This is a hidden gem. Do NOT miss out on this if you are around and I am super serious. The store is known for their pot pies; on Mondays they do Mac n Cheese pot pies (one of my personal favorite). But you really can’t miss on their huge menu of pies from hot to cold as well. For just 3$ a pie they are personal sized and really pack a lot of flavor. All of the pies have this signature ring crust taste that you can’t get anywhere else. The pies alone got them the prestigious Phantom Gourmet visit and sticker on the front door (they also have a video review on their channel)Few things for the outsiders; they do have some weird hours and they close early in the afternoon with one noon close so check the hours!!They have an instagram you can follow which is a weird flex.Though they are known for their pies it’s still a small market so when you walk in it’s like you walked into a convenience store but they have food supplies so check around to see if you need anything. They are a little more decked out than a convenience store which means they have meats, a few groceries you might need and personal drinks.Parking is small, 6-8 spots but people come and go quickly so chances are you won’t see it filled up.Finally if you are an outsider, fun fact there is only one Methuen city in the whole world!

First time coming here since seeing someone posting a pic of their pies and checked out the website and had to make a trip to see if they were as good as they looked and absolutely amazing how good they were tried both the pork and chicken pies and both absolutely amazing

Delicious homemade food with consistently excellent quality. Everyone there is very friendly. Its a small butcher market and grocery store that has been in business for over 100 years. They specialize in British delicacies such as pub pies, scotch eggs, and tomato sausage. Make sure to ask what the red thing is outside. Youll love the answer!

Hidden jewel. Great small butcher, plus,Pork pies, & chicken pies too. Excellent. They take orders also. Holidays are especially busy. Order early.ENJOY!

Traveled from Worcester after seeing on the Phantom Gourmet and all we can say is its worth the drive. They pack a ton of flavor into each little pie. We will definitely be making the trip back soon .

Best pies outside the UK🇺🇸🇬🇧

Fantastic as described highly recommended

Visited for the first time with my best friend. Ill be coming here more. Freshly made pies of all kinds!

This place is outstanding! Their chicken pot pie is amazing, on second thought all their pies are amazing. The sausage is also fantastic. My family has been going to this store since the 1930s and my dad has great memories of when he was young and his dad would bring home pies from here.

This is my comfort food! Love all of their pies! Great service, prices, and of course food!

Love this place. The English pies are a real treat and every year we get our Lithuanian style sausage here for Christmas. The Family and staff always treat you right and are happy to see you.

Awesome little market! Went there to pick up some pork and lamb pies and ended up getting some sausages while I waited! Great prices and friendly staff!

Fantastic potpies and sausages every time I go. The place hasnt changed for 30 years other than adding new flavors. Always a good place to go.

Small convenient store and butchery. Small but fresh selection of meats and sausage. Warm and ready to eat pies are very tasty. Scottish eggs are my favorite!

Excellent pork pies!

I love this place. Great selection of home made pies and fantastic sausages. They also do a pretty good Scotch Egg, well worth picking a few up!

I was first introduced to Thwaites in the early 1960’s by my Grandfather who walked the beat in the 1960’s for LPD.. Oh The smell of those pork pies!!!! Just got some pies and some hamburger and your still the BEST. !!!!! Please send your truck to Andover.

Always full of great quality products!

Mecca for expat Brits, according to the staff in this neigbourhood grocery which has a huge range of English meat pies (pork, steak and kidney, lamb) plus some more local flavors such as kielbasa. Pies can be bought hot or frozen, and theyll be happy to take your order if you call ahead, as they often sell out at weekend. Theres also a good butcher with home-made English style bangers.

I love the pies! Been going to Thwaites for YEARS! Everyone is very pleasant!

Great small family owned business. Great chicken, porkn and other meat pies.

Always love the English pies. Been eating them my whole life. I regularly make the 45 minute one way drive from where I live now to pick them up.

Five star establishment. Clean, friendly family owned staff, and great food!

Fabulous - why arent Thwaites Pies as widely available and well known as MacDonalds Burgers or Oscar Mayer Hotdogs

Family owned business takes us back to when the United States was great. Hard working americans putting out a product to be proud of. I go every chance I have.

Great meat pies and sausage variety. Awesome family run business for decades.

The meat pies here are fantastic. Great for a quick lunch or bring home for a tasting dinner.

The best spot to go to for the pies and once you get some you will come back for more 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🥧🥧🥧🥧

This place offers the best meat pie you will EVER eat! Family owned super friendly and worth every second it takes you to get there.

Love there chicken pies!!! Im from Connecticut and every time I go to visit my mother in law right across the street we buy them.

Excellent meat pies!!

If you live close enough to this place and have not had the chicken pies, youre making the wrong choices in your life.

These owners may actually not even care but my Husband who is from here, loves their pork pies and my dad have been waiting and talking about these pies for two days. We finally get there and as I get out of the car and into the store, my bladder is so full that I can barely stand up. They refused to allow me the use of their restrooms, said it was for employees only. Needless to say we had to go somewhere else for me to empty my bladder and upon me doing that, my father made the decision to not spend his money in this establishment. Very sad!!!!!!

Greatest pies ever hands down sausages are the tastiest also meat 100% customer service A+ what else can i say

Best English pork pies and homemade sausages around.

Best pies EVA

Great meat pies! Love the pork meat pie

Staple of the area. Absolutely incredible. A touch of the old town. Top notch.

Amazing!

English meat pies, sausage (try the kielbasa!), red potato salad...as good as it gets. If you havent been, youre missing out.

Too good for mere words. Their meat pies are off the charts, and their sausage is second to none.

I have been going here for 65 years. Always the best!

Incredible selection of meat pies.

Mmmmmmmm. Their signature mini meat pies are AWESOME!

Excellent pies! Very nice and helpful people in the store.

Always a fantastic selection of their famous pub pies.

Phenomenal food and service.

Excellent spot to get their famous pies

I love this Market, been going there for at least 40 years, LOVE THE PORK PIES

Small market with lots of French-Canadian specialities. I love their homemade sausage, dozens of varieties of miniature meat and savory pies, and gorton. They have a small selection of brand-name food as well, but the real attraction is the stuff behind the butcher/deli counter at the back of the store.

Very friendly,fast service,good pies and fresh meat What more can you ask for

Love love love there tomato sausage yummmmm

Amazing pies and friendly staff

Im a service tech. I was working in the kitchen and was able to meet everyone in this place. What used to be a hidden gem, until the owners daughter Abby really put this place on the map. Shes the one that takes care of all the computer end of the business..advertising with FACEBOOK, WICKED BITES, TRIP ADVISOR, GOOGLE etc. She also is always in the kitchen cooking right beside her dad. Everyone here enjoys and loves what they do. I will tell you in this kitchen where all the magic happens, everything is cleaned and sanitized they dont mess around at all in there. Ken the owner (great guy) he is the best! He puts his heart and sole into this place he really cares about each and every person that steps foot into his place. Kens customers and staff are treated with the utmost respect. In the kitchen...His mom (by the way if you see her give her a fist bump 👊 she loves it) wife, sister, daughter Abby and family are very close every day making pies and running this place. The pies are out of this world! That is a famous item no doubt about that but they also have HOMEMADE SAUSAGES, STEAK AND MANY MORE. Definately worth a trip to see what else they have. When Im in the Methuen area, you better believe Im stopping here to see everyone and of course eating. They are #1 in my book and all their customers will most Definately agree.

Great local business serving excellent home cooked food for take out.

I am a long time lover of Thwaites meat pies. If available, dont miss out on the corned beef hash.

Mouth watering unbelievable meat pies!

Ill be back first time was a good one

Fantastic snacks. Nom nom nom

Been coming here since I was carried in the door ! The best authentic food.. oh my my the pork pies!!!

Thwaites was there when my parents brought me home from Bon Secour Hospital, and my parents went shopping there all the time, in fact, they lived right across the street, when they first got married, (according to my parents, who told us,and we remembered, almost everytime we drove by Thwaites, on our way to Kealey Farms in Salem,NH) My Grandfather would make Gorton with the pork buttmy parents would pick up at Thwaites. We would spread cold pate-like Gorton(A French Canadian Specialty) on cut slices of the Italian sticks (Italian version of a baguette) from TripoliBakery wed pick up every Sunday after mass, (So Good!!) Wed have Gorton in our school lunchboxes! Theyd also buy their meats, ie; pork chops, hamburger (ground chuck), Roasts,Beef Stew Meat etc.,there, even though my Dad worked for A&P Markets for 30 years, and could have picked up these at work! Im sure they liked the idea of a Butcher Shop right on the corner.....An Old Fashioned Market, where you can buy quality foods for the family, and not have to deal with fluctuating prices of the big Supermarkets....The Cost of living wasnt as high then as it is today, and you also got More Bang for your Buck!!My Grandfather would also make Minced MeatPies(another French Canadian specialty) with the meat from (you guessed It!)Thwaites ! Even when they moved from the apartment across from Thwaites, and moved to Washington Street@Broadway Ave in Lawrence, my Ma & Dad would still shop there.....I guess, they were convinced, that they were the Best! Dont get me wrong,wed shop at A&P,Demoulas(Market Basket),Purity Supreme, Kealey Farms and others that were still in business at that time..... Looks like Thwaites out lasted at least a few of the these, at least in my old neighborhood......In Loving Remembrance of my Ma, Dad, Nana, & Bampie.Their all gone now,but my memories of them, and my sister and I,and our years growing up together, live on forever.....Ill see them all again in Paradise,Joey

Always a great experience at Thwaites

Always awesome. All kinds of meat pies!!!!

Great pies, meats and service.

Certainly the best place for pies !!

Home baked foods. Awesome.
