Harry's Café de Wheels - Woolloomooloo

Cowper Wharf Roadway, Woolloomooloo NSW 2011

Wharfside pie cart serving meat pies with mashed potato, mushy peas and gravy since the nineteen thirties.

This guide to Harry's Café de Wheels in Woolloomooloo, Sydney, opens in 1974 with an unlikely customer: Colonel Harland Sanders of KFC, ordering pie and peas rather than chicken. It traces the cart back to 1936, when boxer Harry 'Tiger' Edwards parked it by the naval dockyard gates to feed sailors, and to the years it went dark while he was away at war. You'll hear how a city bylaw about mobile vans shaped its name, and which Hollywood stars later turned up at the hatch. Best visited hungry, at the same small window that has served the wharf for decades.
