Archer's Bakers & Confectioners Ltd in Stockport

Been there many times. The steak pies caught me out, poured over the board when cut. Wonderful taste after fingering the board. Only four dinky porks left. Far too salty ;-) .

The quality of the breads is outstanding. The cakes and pasties are first class. The shop staff are THE most helpful

The long queues outside the shop tell you everything you need to know abou the popularity of this shop. 5-stars.

Very good quality steak pies and a lovely simnel cake with marzipan layer. A must if visiting Marple.

I went to Archers late afternoon today (Thursday) to place my pork pie order for Christmas. I had to wait outside for over 5 minutes in the rain whilst a lady and her young daughter were in there ( only 2 people allowed in the shop due to Covid). When I went inside all cheerful, I said what I wanted to order and was told ‘we are not taking Christmas orders until Saturday, sorry’ I was so shocked I just said oh and left. As I walked away I felt really disappointed at the poor customer service I had just experienced and the ridiculous outdated system. It is just over 3 weeks until Christmas. Marple town and shops want people to shop localIy but after this experience I will take my custom for Christmas and in the future to another local shop where I know I will get the service I expect and should have got from you.

Every town or place i visit I always try the towns pork pies that are on offer and without a doubt ARCHERS are top of the list for me.So glad I live in Stockport as I can enjoy them regular

The staff are at best described as inattentive, but most would say, just rude. Serious retraining needed to sell their very good pies which are only matched by their high price. I won't interupt their staff meeting again.

Great to see Archers open again, after a few weeks closed, they're open Thursday, Friday, Saturday at the moment. I've been visiting Archers since I worked for Hamlets in Marple which was just across the road from the bakery (my old shop is an Estate Agents now) and the food is as good now as it was when I first got hooked on their Steak Pies and Sausage Rolls. In normal times, I often have a chat with the boss man if I can catch his eye, as he's always stuck in dealing with trays and trays of goodies. All the staff are smashing, and it's great to watch them interacting with the regulars. I'm on furlough from my job in Property, been stuck at home, climbing the walls and living off sandwiches for lunch, so it's nice to have the option to go and get a Steak Pie (I'll try to resist the urge to go 3 times a week!) Called in today for a Steak Pie for lunch and 2 Sausage Rolls for tea. Very sensibly only 2 customers allowed in at a time and the ladies are all masked up. I only waited outside a couple of minutes before going in. The lovely lady who served me today, who I know is quite new, is always an absolute delight to deal with, which really makes a difference in these stressful times when many people you deal with are angry/fed up/scared. She was polite, cheery and, with no fuss or drama, got me a glove to use the PDQ machine as my contactless card doesn't work. Had time for a little small talk about being off work and things getting back to normal and the i was on my way. IF you've never been to Archers, where on earth have you been? Go and support this great local business, The Steak Pies are the best you'll have. The Sausage Rolls are like home-made ones and if you have a sweet tooth there's a huge selection of cakes. Thanks Archers and thank you to the lovely who served me today. Look after yourselves, stay safe and stay open. Stuart

Visited to day and was ignored by staff for ages. left me wondering if i had done something wrong ! then when another customer came in they immediately got served - absolutely disgusting customer service and i wont return. there are two other bakers in Marple and both are much much better

The bread from Archers is always of amazing quality.When friends come round for a meal they always comment about the quality.,Cakes and pies are also excellent

Went to visit a friend of ours in marple. Popped into archers, got a couple of meat pies, never tasted anything close to them. Went in and bought some more for later. Must say best pies we have ever had beautiful

Went to my Aunt and Uncle's diamond wedding party last Sat. Amongst all the great food was pork pie from Archers. It was delicious and would highly recommend. Other guest also commented on the quality and light pastry. I must to try if in Marple.

Hubby introduced me to Archers as he is from Marple. I have to say the pies are by far the best pies I have ever had! Love the meat and potato ! All the cakes and breads are amazing too. Make sure you get in there early as there is always a queue!! Great bakery , so go and treat yourself.

My family and I have used Archers Bakers & Confectioners for the past forty three years and during this period we have never had any cause for complaint with any product item. The range of products is restricted compared to the large bakery chains but the quality of the products is far far better than anything these chains produce (obviously that goes for the supermarkets as well). The custards are exquisite, the pies and sausage rolls are wonderful, the barm cakes are sensational. I could go through the whole range applauding in a similar manner but I have concentrated on my own favourites. I have just one problem with the shop. They sell out of their goods so quickly sometimes I am disappointed because I arrived at the shop too late to get what I want.

Pies, pastries and bread, the finest for miles around. They open when the baking is done and if you delay its gone!

famous for their meat pies and lovely bread they have been providing their delicious bread ,cakes and pies to the people of Marple for over 60 years

Told by local friend that this bakery made the best pies for miles, bought a few items including pies to take back to hotel as a snack, they were all excellent lovely to still find craft bakeres makeing quality food

Sin duda las mejores panaderías de Greater Manchester. Todos los productos hechos en las premisas. Tartas recién hechas, carne y vegetarianos, con encantadores, encantador y generoso contenido de pastelería y salsa de carne preciosa. Bonito fresco en el rollo de salchichas de pastelería, con una carne deliciosa de llenado.

A good meal for vegetarians are the cheese-and-onion pies. They are a trifle expensive but delicious. Have been buying them for decades. Try them.

When ever we visit my relatives in Rosehill I have to call in to Archers and buy their meat pies it is such a shame I can't freeze them . They are the best pies I have ever eaten . I live in the south east but Archers is my first stop if I travel to Marple and Rosehill. They always have a excellent collection of bread and cakes as well.

I do really enjoy the pies from here but when I stopped for a pie lately they had no meat and potato left so I got a stake pie, I did not notice in the past how expensive they were just under £3 for one pie probably will not visit again

Can't get enough of the pies in this place. Cheese & Onion are excellent, as are the meat and the potato and meat. Yet to have the steak but they fly out like hot cakes. Dinky pork are awesome too. Cake display is superb and the ones we've tried have been faultless.

Always served by attentive staff, with home baked bread and cakes available - now they accept credit cards too !

Lovely pies, bread and delicious cakes. Staff very friendly and helpful. Maybe a bit prices, but well worth it.

We visited the Archer on a Tuesday at around 11am. A lot of trays on the counter were empty; I am not sure if the products had gone or they didn't sell many items on weekdays. Though, we managed to buy 4 different pies and 8 cakes. For those 12 items we paid £18-ish.

My mum moved to Oxford 10 years ago she's been back loads of times and we've ate at lots of places. We decided to go for a walk on the canal i decided to get some meat pie from archers...she said it was like going back 50years to when she was a child and actually had tears in her eyes.we had a lovely day.keep the tradition going

Delicious pies, bead and confectionary. Well worth the cost if you want top quality food. Good service and pleasant staff

I recently visited the place where I grew up after 20+ years. I was delighted to see that Archers Baker is still going and could not go past without buying some savory pies and their famous Vanilla Slices. Oh my word, they are so delicious. <3

Mmmm can't walk past this shop without going in. Food fresh baked and yummy. Always good. Staff nice too. I would drive through show to get here its so good.

This bakery makes amazing bread ,cakes etc Really worth an early morning visit on a Saturday morning to get some of their, still warm, freshly baked bread or even croissants.

Archer bread muffins are the best around, and their pies are the best I have ever tasted. This is a bakery and not an eating place, it is a little expensive but you will not be disappointed. The bread and pies are just so good.

Having lived in Marple I have tasted the delights of this local bakery.Wether it's bread,cakes or pies they are all top quality. If you are in Marple give them a call you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful, tasty, bit expensive but worth the money. My kids said their sausage rolls were gorgeous. Oh my goodness it's worth the extra few pence.

Best Pies in the area, good selection on offer to buy. This is a Bakery not an eating establishment and often there are queues to buy produce.

Archers are well known as to be the best bakers in the area. Their meat pies are second to none but, a mortgage might have to be obtained. Should one balance out the quality of the bakers against the cost?

Lovely bread especially the rye. And super pies and custards. The fresh cream cakes also superb. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Archers do the best pies I have ever tasted in my life. Their meat and potato pies are the nicest pies I think I will ever come across. This family know how to run a successful bakery and I hope for it to carry on. Archers is seen as the pride of Marple and an affordable luxury we can all enjoy. The prices are slightly dearer than other bakeries in the area but the quality and taste makes up for that ten times over. I would recommend anyone visiting the Stockport/Marple area to visit as it is somewhere you have to experience.

Wonderful bakery.monly place around I can buy wimberry pies. everything you buy there is top class and has been established years and years.Top,Class

I think this bakery & shop (founded in 1948) is now into its third generation of the same family's ownership - and long may that continue. Lovely & stylish shop, excellent service and their produce is superb. Their pies are un-rivalled.

This is an excellent local bakery that produces a good selection of reasonably priced breads, cakes and pies on site. There is often a queue at the counter, particularly on Saturdays, but it clears fairly quickly and the wait is certainly worth while. I often call in for one of their delicious meat pies and a vanilla slice for lunch - naughty but very nice!!

Excellent bread and cakes I liked buying unfilled sponge cakes if they were pre ordered Long queues at busy times specially Saturday mornings

Archers is a local institution and offers a limited range of foods but what is does offer is superb. Their savoury pies are rightly legendary and freshly-baked on the premises, with excellent pastry and generous fillings. Best to order in advance if you want a large quantity as they sell out fast!

An excellent local bakery ....... like bakeries used to be. Unlike most 'bread shops' Archers actually make their produce on the premises and don't just buy everything in.

Local bakers great cakes bread and particular favourate is custard tart but many more to chose from but shop early as things quickly sell out
