@@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.

Pie, mash and peas looked so yummy!!!!!another great video Lee, say hi to andrew, nice guy😊😊

Oh yeah and Andrew is a top guy for sharing all what he knows xxx

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.

Loved the tiger. The area looks amazing again Lee.❤❤

If it wasn't for the mushy peas, it would be great, sorry peas are NASTY! Cheers!

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.

Hi Lee glad your enjoying you trip to Australia. Love Harry's pie and peas.

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.

Looked lovely pies 👍

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 😂

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.

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

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.

Bit of Trivia, All the Pies and Dogs are made in ultimo by "Hannah's" Pies... right near the Powerhouse Museum on Harris St,.

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…

Brilliant videos Lee, it sounds like you are having a great time!

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.

Another lovely video Lee.

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.

I wondered if Andrew ate the pie with a fork. Against the rules, it wouldn't taste right.😂

@Sydneysider1310

4 ай бұрын

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.

I’m guessing you didn’t walk from the opera house? That’s the best part

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.

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.

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👍

Yatala Pies in Queensland is the place for pies there, the chunky beef pie is to die for but one is plenty.

Aussie AKUBRA Hat needed, here Mate. 🇦🇺

Nice one, Mac🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👏👍👏👍🍺🍺

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 👍🏻

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.

Enjoyed your video, the pies looked good, pleased you both enjoyed them 😊

a fantastic vlog lee again

Thanks Mandy.

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.

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.

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
