As a place with a good reputation, but mainly as a post drinking session snack I was intrigued. After extensive online research and blog reviewing I decided on the Harry's Tiger. An old classic, their signature dish. Consisting of pie with mashed potato on top, mushy peas on top of that and gravy on top of that, with the classic beef pie.
E and I decided that since we were there, and the hotdogs looked awesome we had to try one of those as well. So we got a Hot Dog de Wheels to share.
This is our hot dog being made, it was kind of epic, the Frankfurt, mushy peas, chilli con carne and garlic onions with cheese sauce and chilli sauce, and we got a bit of mustard on it too, we thought it might need it :).
I somehow managed to not take a pic of the decor of the place, but it was very American diner.
And of course it wouldn't have been an authentic experience without a thick shake, I got banana flavor, E had choc and B was a bit more restrained than us, he had a tiger, but with a curry pie and a vanilla thick shake.
The verdict - the thick shake was fantastic, thick tasty and I didn't feel sick after two mouthfuls!
The pie was good - not the best pie I've ever had, but I'm picky about my pies, and it made a good base for the mash and mushy peas. They were genius, and the gravy was really good. The addition of a bit of worcestershire sauce did lift it up to another level though.
The hot dog was tasty, but a tiny bit busy. I think without the mushy peas, would have been great. The heat from the chilli sauce and chilli con carne was good, and the cheese sauce was tasty - it would be great on chips, but they didn't serve any chips. Understandable with the mashed spud, but I do like chips with pies.
Overall, as you can see above a tasty meal, great for after badminton and I think it would be fantastic after a big night :), but not something I'd have on a regular basis.
