- We went to The FAMOUS Harry's Cafe de Wheels in SYDNEY AUSTRALIA for PIE MASH & PEAS!
Harry’s Café de Wheels has proudly served customers for over 80 years, with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sir Elton John and Prince Harry having been some of the many to sink their teeth into our iconic ‘Tiger’ pie. It all began with Harry “Tiger” Edwards, who’s frustrations in finding a good late-night snack, led him to open a caravan café near the front gates of Woolloomooloo naval dockyard in Sydney, Australia.
He named it ‘Harry’s Café de Wheels’ - a rather bold gesture at the time to the local city council whose laws required him to move the caravan a minimum of 12 inches a day. His courage, and proven skills as a boxer, earned himself the nickname “Tiger” - a name passed down to his iconic pie - which is still served in its original location in Woolloomooloo, alongside a growing number of outlets across the globe including a growing fleet of caravan cafés (that move a“little” more than 12 inches a day).

You can tell Andrew is really a Pommy he's eating a plain pie with a fork/spoon, sacrilege🤣🤣🤣
I had to look away 😂
while I agree to a point... I carry a plastic teaspoon in my car - a large jacked up Patrol... and eat with the spoon as I like Potao top pies with sauce... I'm also a trained Chef from Sydney... yes. eating a pie at the footy or pub is different!!!
@@Waitomo64 Yes that's fair enough potato pies can be treacherous little buggers. But plain pies or any others with a solid top it's finger food lol.
@@grahamejohn6847 I agree mate.. Just loved the potato top ones where I lived in Sydney... I got one every morning on the way to work!!! and then had Banh Mi for lunch with a beer or 2.... @Regents Park!!!!
I loved my life then... very tuff now...I live in Cedar Grove, qld..
@@grahamejohn6847 agree since the pie floater had gravy and two veg on top that’s a whole other thing but the pie (and where was the sauce?) should have been cupped in one hand and eaten without any type of utensil 😉👍
No matter how famous the pie shop, if I was served an over peppered pie I'd send it back.
That particular Harry's is a sydney institution.. they must be doing something right to exist for that long
I remember it from when I was a kid in the 1960s. It was then just a crappy looking caravan outside the navy dockyard. Very popular with the yanks on R&R during the Vietnam war years.
If it wasn't for the mushy peas, it would be great, sorry peas are NASTY! Cheers!
All Lee is saying, is give peas a chance. 😂
OMG, Harry's has certainly changed since I was last there in 1990. It was a simple caravan with flip up window down the bottom of the hill and situated near a very undeveloped waterfront area.
Oh yeah and Andrew is a top guy for sharing all what he knows xxx
🤔If you were in Adelaide,👍out side the central train station.🤩That’s were the pie van is.👍They do a pie floater!🥧 It’s a pie with mashy peas 💋on top, in a bowl!🫶🫶🫶🫶💕🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💕👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pie, mash and peas looked so yummy!!!!!another great video Lee, say hi to andrew, nice guy😊😊
Loved the tiger. The area looks amazing again Lee.❤❤
Newcastle about 2 hours up the road from Sydney has a great Harry's Cafe de Wheels. It is an old street tram car converted to a pie stand.
Been Harry's at Woolloomooloo,bits alright Lee. I've time to catch up if you'd like? Yes, buy a wide brimmed hat and protect your skin, the Australian sun is brutal.
Bit of Trivia, All the Pies and Dogs are made in ultimo by "Hannah's" Pies... right near the Powerhouse Museum on Harris St,.
Andrew needs reminded, he is a British citizen living in a British Colony speaking English, "never trust a man with a beard" as my Australian grandmother often said. She spoke English as well, she lived in Shepshed.
Still think you have an empire ? 🤣🤦
@@barnowl.I come in here for the comments 😂 The poms don’t disappoint, they still find it difficult to concede us Aussies have the better deal. Funny stuff 😜
Today will be VERY hot around Sydney - go to a chemist shop for a cheap wide hat or a department store / surf shop or china town markets ..You wilk need a good cold drink at least every 2 hours .. take care .. enjoy the city today. You were on that nice resturant strip with the yachts - thats Russle crowes pad down the far end.
I worked just around the corner for a lon time in pharmacy.. i know the area very well.
Drinking Crystal - No ... I know the cheap bottle of sparkling wine that is more ordered around Sydney East.. It's called JANZ from Tasmania. Not to expensive but definitely the tastes of Australia.
P.s. pieface chain of pies around the city is my actual favourite. Chunky beef or chicken curry is better than anything. I've eaten a lot of pies to compare 😂
Harry's has lost its class used to be outside the gates of Garden Island Naval Base. Nothing like a Harry's floor show at closing time with a pie and peas and a bottle of port light, it is where we learned all the shanties. The sailors called it Harry's cafe de axles no wheels. He would let the sailors hide there beer from the crushers behind the wagon. My those were the days
I’m guessing you didn’t walk from the opera house? That’s the best part
Looked better than the one I had at the Harry’s opposite Paddy’s Market which was a poor pie with dry mash and peas. I’ll be trying it out next weekend.
My brother, when he comes over from London, never misses a visit to Harry’s for a Tiger, will watch your adventures up the Centrepoint Tower later but make sure you get down to the Rocks tomorrow Lee and check out the Saturday vibes…
I wondered if Andrew ate the pie with a fork. Against the rules, it wouldn't taste right.😂
That’s why he needs an Aussie to tag along with him 😉 It’s the law to eat a pie with your hands. But we’ll forgive Lee’s floater with all the extras.
Hi Lee glad your enjoying you trip to Australia. Love Harry's pie and peas.
I used to live in The 'Loo, when I was a school kid, in the early '70s. Back then it was a working suburb. The finger wharf and the others either side of it were very busy working wharves. I lived next to the wool store at the bottom of Brougham St. When my brother and I finished our paper run in the naval base we used to stop by Harry's and buy pies and hot dogs when it was a little caravan outside the gates of the naval base. Harry had just sold his business to another bloke the year before. After moving away and not eating one of Harry's pies for 20 years I tried the current version you guys ate. I thought that they were a letdown from the original.
Sydney Mardi Gras is a massive parade on Oxford street and it is this Saturday night starts at 7:30pm to guarantee a good spot turn up around 6pm 6:30pm parade is free.
A few people have mentioned about not wearing a baseball cap, get yourself a wide brimmed hat
He's been 'advised' more than enough times.
Typical pom knows best
Absolutely - told him after his first video in Perth.
Well we have tried but !!!
Having the same white and delicate pommy skin exposed to the Aussie sun many more times than it should have been I've managed to cultivate a few skin cancers.
Three of which were surgically removed a couple of weeks ago. (Third time around gor me)
Fortunately the doc managed to get it all although she had to cut quite long, wide and deep. (BBQ anyone?)
52 stitches later and I'm not quite so keen to renew my intimate relationship with Sol. At least not without adequate protection.
Yes, its a bit gross. Iit all starts so joyfully but can end up in blood and tears.
You need an Akubra, best hat in Oz or.a Bunnings Hat
Baseball caps are useless in Oz
@@Sour_MustardI suggested an Akubra a few days ago. Practical as well as being a fabulous keepsake for his trip down under.
Yatala Pies in Queensland is the place for pies there, the chunky beef pie is to die for but one is plenty.
Looked lovely pies 👍
A bloke from Port Pirie in South Australia invented the Australian Pie Floater in the 1890’s , local newspaper proof in 1914.
It’s a South Australian icon, don’t those Sydneysiders tell you otherwise 👍🏻
Get yourself a bunnings brimmed hat and you’ll fit right in
Wish people would shut up
About friggin hats!! Every second post Is about getting a hat
Here’s ya hat, what’s ya hurry 🥳🥳
Needs a Floro tradie jacket to go with it so Tesla's on Autopilot can see him, and take aim correctly.
In Adelaide we have/had our famous Pie Floater.
An upside down Pie in a bowl covered with sloppy Peas with your choice of Tomato Sauce and/or Vinegar.
We used to have Pie Carts serving this delicacy around various parts of the City and Suburbs.
When Harrys was located in its original position outside the Navy Base entrance gates which is approx 400 metres from here it is located these days, it was great venue for the meeting of the serviceman. It was great value for money and the food was incredible. I was moved to its current location from memory in the 80's? Regretfully today it is overrated and overpriced and only survives on its reputation of past days.
My brothers and I used to tie our trailer boats up at the ladder on the wharf beside Harry’s, go get a couple of pies and a six pack of beer and sit on the wharf eating and drinking. You could see the toffs in those restaurants looking at us eating our pies, with mash, peas and gravy and swigging beers while they are paying a shit load of money for a lesser feed. I used to love rub it in. By the way, the woolloomooloo wharf adjacent to Harry’s used to be where the migrant ships used to arrive. My family arrived there in 1954 and now is a very expensive hotel, restaurants and expensive home units.
Another lovely video Lee.
I can see why they call that “The Floater” now, I was reserving judgement on this until I saw it. Looks pretty damn good I’ve gotta say, a pie covered with mash, peas and gravy to top it. Great guide that you had with you. Really enjoying these Australian vlogs well done Lee👍
If you have never had a pie from Harrys do your selves a favor absolutely brilliant
Andrew, if you had paid your fine for parking in a Disabled spot in Ashfield, you wouldn't have had to leg-it to Australia.
I don't understand why so many people Abroad hate their Country of birth. No matter how far we travel, we all want "home". Warts and all. We have swallows in our eves, they travel 7,000 miles to South Africa each year and return to our eves every single year. Nature knows better.
@@robblack7560 No we don't dispute rock-bottom luxury house prices and cheap cars in the dump I used to live in. I lasted a week the last time I visited. I regularly work in communist China a month at a time outside the big cities and prefer it to the violence and drugs and overpoliced traffic laws in the UK. Not everyone lives in the 10% ideal parts of the UK.
Brilliant videos Lee, it sounds like you are having a great time!
Love a bit of George at Asda 😂😂 check the weather out cold and wet here let's go onwards my friends
Aussie AKUBRA Hat needed, here Mate. 🇦🇺
Oh yes, that pie, mash and peas looked gorgeous, I could have eaten one of those literally right now. I would have had a no pepper version if possible though. The price didn't seem too bad either.
That was slightly nostalgic for me. When I first moved to Sydney I lived in the Woolloomooloo area. (Expensive so it didn't last!). But yeah Harrys or grabbing a coffee at one of the fancy places (but not actually eating there 😜) and walking around the warves.
Others have mentioned wide brim hats. But also if you prefer a baseball cap style of hat, especially whilst filming, you can get these sun smart ones in pharmacies or surf shops or other clothing stores. They are SPF 50 rated and have a flap attached the side and back that will cover your ears and the back of your neck. I have one which I find handy for when out walking especially near the ocean as other hats tend to blow off in the breeze.
And always take sunscreen with you as it needs to be re applied every 4 hours. You can get little travel size ones or roll on deodorant style ones.
See, I told you there is life beyond fish and chips. Well done
He's in Sydney with some of the best fusion food...obvs he prefers colonial food...🤣
Should be doing yum cha
@@barnowl.I don’t think he has the palate for anything other than the basics. He kind of said as much himself.
I love it when the Aussie versions of "Phil and Janice" show up in the comments. 🤣
Enjoyed your video, the pies looked good, pleased you both enjoyed them 😊
Peppered steak and peas. Come on!!! brilliant, but, Pepsi Max??
🤣A pint of VB maybe🤣
@@LoremIpsum1970. Does anyone drink that shite anymore 😀
@@davidcartwright5591yeah, bogans 😂
Pie mash and gravy over liquor anytime...peas thrown in to boot...
Lovley 👍
8 was a more realistic score. Well done to the guest.
You need to get a Driza-bone wide brim hat. When you get back you can sell it to Geoff ! 😂
Great to finally see you made it to the legendary Harry’s. They use to have one near Paddy’s Market in Chinatown but the Woolomolloo one is the original.
a fantastic vlog lee again
Thanks Mandy.
Nice one, Mac🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👏👍👏👍🍺🍺
Harry's was actually located adjacent to the garden island naval dock. It was in a old caravan. Later relocated to he end of the wharves into new building. Still great after a night on the cans.
Great vlog and what a great guy Andrew is. Love the way he keeps getting confused with your comments when you prompt him ...again what a lovely guy. BTW that pie, peas & gravey looked lush 🤗💜xx
Thanks so much Deena ❤. It was a great day!
That looked yummy. Loved the history. Andrew was great. Enjoying all the ex pats with you. Cheers
We have one here in Newcastle about hr and a half north of sydney been around for a long time and very popular
A sad imitation of the original I’m afraid
If elton had not changed his name reg would have been all-dwight!
Up until about 30 years ago Harry's was further down the road in front of the gates of Garden Island ,if you saw the old ww2 photos and stuff from the 70's and 80's it was still down there
Morning love hope you are good how is your neck .. I am so enjoying your videos of Australia Sydney . and I can tell that you are enjoying being there as well . these vlogs are out of this world so chilled and natural . you just being you . thanks for sharing this with us x❤xx

Hi Lee,you need to do the blue mountains while you are in Sydney on a clear day
Pies looked great! Enjoyed the vid
Looks amazing enjoy your pie ❤great video of you both xxx
Lovely video should have had hp sauce on the pie controversially onwards my friends 👍😀
Andrew seems a very pleasant chap,hope his Dad meets up with you to do a video in the future.
lovely tasty menu.
Need more"Au Naturel" vids,whether in Australia or back home in the UK...
Bit up market for me, compared to what was the obligatory last stop for a sailor before going through the gates of Garden Island after a night on the piss back in the 60's and 70's :)
Pie looked great
Used to end up there after a big night out at the cross as a young digger mid eighties
Great video Lee that pie and mash looked pretty good 👏👏👍👍
Lee a great video loving these with no music etc. Keep them coming.
Pie looked good. Love places lke that proper food done well 😊
Loved the Jack Douglas impersonation at 1259 😂
Mister Macmaster! Lee the 🥧 mash & peas looked delicious 😋 i couldn't help but noticed the blue skies again! Is it ever cloudy in Australia 🤔🤔🎉
Another great video lee food looked lovelly 😂 especially the pie yummy ❤xx
I married a Sydney lady here in Virginia, USA, we visited there at the end of 2022 and she took me on the same walkabout and dining experience along with the art museum nearby, she had a residency at artspace across the street from the pie shop and ate there frequently.
@simonepatersonart
quick, pie n mash, before the ol crow starts squawking! Tiger Pie sounds aawesome! Was that your choice? we will soon find out, onwards friends! unpausing now! I knew it, easy Tiger! Lovely pies, yum! Oi! Lee, be like Andrew the master of local, get a sensible hat and neck covering! another awesome foody vlog. Cheers!
The home of the the Pie Floater is Port Pirie in South Australia around the 1890’s. Has been blossomed to rest of Australia. 🍻
👍Nice one Lee !
Nice looking pie there mate. I'll go a 9/10. Can't believe they charge extra for using card though. That's just wrong. I'd just pay cash out of principle. Great video mate👍
I love the tiger with the pepper pie at Harrys my mouth was watering watching.
Sounds like your pie-ning for one and go gaga for it?!
Australia looks amazing,I'd love to be there.No flag waving protestors for reasons they dont know.No illegal ungratefull criminals taking the piss with taxpayers cash benifits and no undesirable riffraff.The UK is so ruined,...I would move to Austtralia in a heartbeat
Perception is a wonderful thing , however , I hate to tell you , but Australia does have its fair share of illegal immigrants , there’s no shortage of flag wavers, there’s daily gangland shootings and don’t even think about getting sick and seeing a doctor ,you’ll need a bank loan first that …. Still want to come here ?
Oz is horrible .
You wouldn’t like it .
Besides , we’re full .
Cor that looked propper ❤ My Fience would love it!
i was docked in walamaloo on the invincible early 80s bourbon n beefsteak bar kings x was a fave for happy hour
Parmies Lee..parmies..you need to try out a few pub chicken parmies..cart yourself down to Bondi..there has got to be a decent pub parmie there.
Good video mate see you in the next one my friend. Onwards
That is one hull of a boat!
The blues brothers are in town 🙌
not quite by 1000000000 miles... but funny dumb poms... n I hate poms... even tho I'm 100% pommy blood from nz...
They 😎
thanks Bro!!! appreciated.. kia ora.. ka pai..
Should go to the Oaks pub in Neutral Bay where you cook your own steaks on bbq’s. Fab. If it’s still there.
I did a similar pie in Brisie a few years back. It was superb as far as I remember it. 😎
What a Superb uncut and everything kept in. This is what i call a Proper MacMaster video of Fun and Banter between two of the most Loveliest Gentlemen you could ever. I really liked this Snack Bar/ Van. Harry's Cafe De Wheels. Very Customer Service with a Smile and hand prepping those Wonderful Pies. This was for me " Off the Charts ". They looked really Delicious, Tasty, Succulent and there was plenty of filling with the Mashed Peas and the Inviting Creamed Potato, finished off with Rich Delicious Gravy. I would Score this Delicious Food a Generous 5 Star:.... 10++/10. Forget those so called Pretentious Over Priced and idiots showing to the Millionaires, Give me a really Good Family Snack Van any day. They are being very Honest and Not taking the Customer for a ride. We should Support Family run Business's that really Care about there Customers. Thank you very much for listening.
The Harbour looked very nice indeed 👌. The food looked spot on and i like my pie with pepper 10 from me.
All the famous celebrates that have visited Harry's Cafe de Wheels. Can now add the world famous MacMaster to there list.
MMmmmm Lee, Andrew, you made me hungry, you can't beat a traditional Aussie meat pie 👍 Au
By chance I found your VTs whilst searching for Sydney videos. I’m enjoying watching them and prefer them without any music. Just the sounds of the city, or airport etc is so much better.
looks delicious. I'm hungry now 😊
Hi lee nice review they do have another harrys cafe de wheels in newcastle just as good same menu also the worlds largest coal port i give the pie a 9 ❤❤😂😂
No liquer? Scandalous. And I'm Welsh.
Fun vid.
Rich & poor in Sydney by the looks too. Wish my family never sold our 70s lake front Macquarie cottage,in the 80s . Ordinary people could live there on the water there then. Now id have to win the lotto twice.
Hey love that pie looks very good and so full of meat . my score is a 10 for that pie and mash and peas . thank you for showing us around .it was not a bad price for them pies and drinks ❤ xxx
Having flashbacks to my drunken Navy days
@@gregevigan Sounds like you’re looking for Oxford Street not Harry’s.
