Harry's Café de Wheels is not just any ordinary cafe. It has a rich history and a legendary reputation that has attracted some of the biggest names in the world. Frank Sinatra, Sir Elton John, and even Prince Harry himself have all indulged in our iconic 'Tiger' pie. This mouthwatering delicacy has become synonymous with our name and has delighted taste buds for generations.
The story of Harry's Café de Wheels begins with the visionary Harry "Tiger" Edwards. Frustrated by the lack of late-night snack options, he took matters into his own hands and opened a caravan café near the front gates of Woolloomooloo naval dockyard in Sydney, Australia. Despite facing challenges from the local city council, which required him to move the caravan a minimum of 12 inches a day, Harry fearlessly named it 'Harry's Café de Wheels.'
Harry's courage and his boxing skills earned him the nickname "Tiger," which he passed on to his iconic pie. Today, you can still enjoy this legendary pie at its original location in Woolloomooloo, as well as at our growing number of outlets across the globe. Our fleet of caravan cafés has expanded, and they now move a "little" more than 12 inches a day.

We strive to leave a lasting impression on the mouths of different generations, reminding them of Harry's humble beginnings and rich past.

Reviews
"Continuing the Harry’s quality of pies and hot dogs, Newcastle’s franchise keeps it Harry’s real. Just squeaked in before 10pm closing time, but food was still up to spec of the original."
"Quick, hot, tasty and right near some great spots to sit and watch the boats and water! Quintessential Aussie experience."
"Great pies! Had the ‘Harry’s Tiger’ for dinner and it did not disappoint. Nice big hunks of yummy juicy steak in the pie, lovely service too. What more can you ask for?"
