Visiting the Most Expensive Grocery Store in London

Today we’re going to be visiting the most expensive grocery store in London: Harrod’s. Now, I must admit I didn’t know they had one. This is the land of money; there are expensive cars everywhere, and people are dressed up. I’ve even put my fancy coat on so I fit the joint look. Even people that are on scooters look like they’re worth a million quid.

I’ve seen that in the food hall you can buy expensive cherries. The grocery store—I’ve never been before—apparently it’s expensive. We’ll see.

Did you learn your Green Cross code? Look left, look right, and then you just sprint! You just hope for the best. Also, I don’t know if we’re allowed to film in here; we’re just going to do it anyway. Harrod’s, if you see this, I apologize. For all you know, I could be about to go in there and drop bands. I’m not! I’m definitely not. I’m just going to look at prices and go, “Ooh, that’s expensive.”

All right, let’s go to the dining hall. Bro, I don’t know where this joint is. This is the chocolate hall: chocolate almonds, £50. God! Chocolate bark—this is putting us to shame: £1 per 100g. Doesn’t look as good as the chocolate bar that we whip up. Freshly dipped chocolate strawberries with good ol’ chocolate: £4 each.

I think that was it. This ain’t really your usual supermarket like Ralph’s or Tesco, where you’d find your Oreos. You know, this is upmarket. I feel out of place.

Right, this looks good! Now I’m in heaven. We’ve got cheese, rotisserie chicken, pasta. I will say it’s pretty busy. This is at 4:53 p.m. on a Wednesday, and look at the place—it’s packed! It’s like Air1 times 2. It’s a bit of a food hall market vibe. It looks impressive; it looks very bougie.

You think Air1’s bougie? This is bougie. The boot is quite graphic. Vegan or vegetarian trigger warning: cover your eyes and just listen to the sound of my voice, ’cause I’m going to tell you about this right now.

Beef Wellington, pre-done: banging. Streaky bacon: £850 per kilo. Wow! £600 per kilo—that is a fat Welly. Yeah, this is crazy. But this is very bougie. How much for a whole chicken? It doesn’t say the price. That’s when you know it’s expensive—if you can’t see the price. If there’s no price, it’s probably going to cost a lot.

This is the Air1 section. I’m feeling this; it looks fantastic! That looks very vibrant. This is £9; I think that’s pretty good. £15 for a dragon fruit—quite a lot, innit? Why are these cherries £175 per kilo? Japanese melon: £50! What am I doing? That’s £150! I don’t know why I feel like I have to get it now.

What’s the deal with the cherries? Are you referring to Red Frost? Yeah, these are English red cherries here. These ones are French white veneer cherries. Okay, they’re slightly more tart. Generally, however, these are much higher quality. I’ve never been in before.

That’s fine, so if I get a little scoop of them, how much is that roughly coming out at? So that would be… so like a handful would be about 100g. 100g? So that would be £17.50. Really? Okay, cool! All right, can I do a little scoop? Yeah, sure! Awesome, man, thank you so much for your help!

There are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11… there’s 12 cherries in here: £18.55. You know when you go to a grocery store and you’ve got like chewing gum, little bits you’d pick up? Imagine this: you go through and you see the champagne. You’re like, “Oh yeah, oh silly me! I forgot to grab the champagne. What a clutz!”

What is that? I can buy a ham shoulder for £425? I’ve never seen anything like that in my whole entire life! I didn’t know you could buy a suitcase of ham. We all know Air1’s water cost $26. I know; believe it! We have a water section: £2.75. Sorry, but just the bottle is sick! It’s bougie; it’s £2.75. It’s a lot cheaper than the $26 one.

Why am I kind of leaning towards Harrod’s? All right, that’s mad. Maybe I’m just using Air1 as an example. Is that a salmon cake? I’ve never seen that before. What is this? Cream cheese pancake and some salmon? Wow, crazy! Thank you; I would never get that in my life.

Right, so we’re going to get a salmon bowl, we’re going to get a chicken Caesar bowl. This is genuinely a gold basket! We’re stacking, guys! We’re stacking 20 cherries. I cannot believe I’ve done that. I’m just going to try one of each of these: one of the pink ones—I don’t know what these are—one of the one on the left, this one, the green one, and then the prawn one, please. Oh, and then a chicken gyoza, please, and then the chicken yakitori, please.

People think I’m some sort of millionaire; the reality is I’m broke after this. That’s the true reality. Thank you so much! £6.25! I’ll just shrug it off for now.

See, this is the thing: when I film YouTube videos, I think money isn’t real. I think, “Oh yeah, let’s go and buy that suitcase of ham; let’s just spend £450! Let’s just do it!” ‘Cause it’s not real. It is real in London.

Jim Carra is the only Indian restaurant with two Michelin Stars. Okay, so we’ve got a kebab, chicken tikka skewers: £10. I’m only seeing three cubes of chicken on that. All right, all right, do you do wraps? Yes, please! I’ll do the chicken tikka masala, please, and then can we do the coriander and the red onion as well, please? Let’s do it! Thank you. £1.50!

I’m excited! I genuinely think that kid was just sniffing my ass. I’m not even kidding you. Bro, literally blushing, ’cause that is weird, bro! Genuinely, that is weird! Oh nice, so the garlic naan is on the outside. Nice! Wicked! Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s cool.

Okay, coriander, red onion, chicken tikka masala in there; we’ve got the coriander and mint chutney, roasted garlic and chili chutney. Oh yes! Oh my God, my mouth is watering. So if I just don’t scan this, does that mean I just get it for free? Right, thank you so much, man! Cheers! Thanks for the free wrap; I appreciate it.

Vanilla and pineapple infused water? Are you kidding me? How much is that? £2.50? I’ll be bougie! We’ve got dragon fruit and lime infused water. I feel like we have to get this as well. All right, maybe I’m just getting carried away.

So we’re going back to the chocolate section because, you know, I want a little sweet treat. Also, this is getting heavy now. How much is this? This, like, 2 to 15 pieces? And how much is this one? Like 20? Okay, can I do this one, please? These look crazy. Okay, we’ll do one of them, please. Whatever this one is. He on that? Yeah, one of the seashell ones. Oh my God, that’s good! Anything else you recommend? This one? Okay, yeah, we’ll do two of them.

I’m just getting carried away now! Thank you so much! Have a good one! £20! Not going to lie; the bank account is probably sweating right now, so I’m going to wrap things up. Let’s make our way over to the tills, and if anything falls into my hands, then so be it!

We’ve got to do a mini one, don’t we? You know how you go into a supermarket and you get plastic bags and you pay like 5p, 10p? Nah! Uh, they’re £5 bags! I mean, they’re fully made of, like, everything, so we just have to buy one. There we go! £1.14! Oh, even this feels expensive!

Okay, how do we get out of this place? We need to get out before I spend some more. We should just go the way we came.

We’ve come to lovely Hyde Park, found a nice spot, thought, why not have a picnic in the park? We are stacked: water, hat, two chicken Caesar salads, salmon bowl, 20 cherries, Jim Carra wrap, vanilla pineapple water, dragon fruit and lime water, dumplings—I don’t know, goose’s chocolate box for sweets, and then we did forget cutlery, but we have to run back in and get some.

So, got Harrod’s cutlery. We’re going to start with the Jim Carra wrap. Oh my God, this is crazy! That is worth every penny! This was £12.50. I know it’s a lot for a wrap, but the spice is punching through; the tikka masala is smack! You’re expecting crunch, but because it’s an naan, it’s kind of more doughy. That’s kind of the only thing, but I’m kind of just saying, “Harrison, grow up! Enjoy the wrap! It is what it is; it’s spot on!”

I don’t know if you’re really allowed to drink in the park, but so apparently you keep the cork in place and then just rotate the bottle. Oh, this is a smaller bottle, so this is a little bit more harder, I must say. Right, so we’re just going to pop it. Well, that was anticlimactic! All right, anyway, cheers!

M, what is life? It’s a Wednesday; I’m eating a chicken tikka masala wrap and a bottle of champagne! I’m actually really interested in this one: teriyaki salmon salad. This is not a dish, but I thought for £9 this is quite good value. Got a lot of protein sources in here, actually! I just want to try this on its own. Oh, that’s quite good—orangey! I don’t know what that is, but that’s a really good dressing.

The salmon’s a small fillet; I assume it’s good. Should we do everything together? I think that’s the only way you can really do it! You know what? It’s really good! The broccoli is super crunchy. I don’t know if you like super crunchy broccoli, but I do, so this is, like, top points! Everything is just super fresh, and the flavors are so different. This is something you don’t normally eat every day; I’m really impressed!

You know what? Compared to lunch options, I don’t think you could actually find something for £9 that’s better than this and fresh, organic, tasty, healthy. Am I a Harrod’s fanboy right now? I don’t want this to come off like I’m just bigging up everything, but I think it’s pretty good.

This is the chicken Caesar salad; it’s loaded with chicken. And again, this was £9—loaded with bacon! We’ve got two croutons; I’m a crouton boy. Must admit, I don’t think an egg belongs in a chicken Caesar salad. We’ll go heavy with the sauce, ’cause who doesn’t do that? Why is there pasta in it? What did I get? Chicken Caesar? Chicken Caesar pasta salad? Didn’t know that!

Let’s go for a full yam! B, it’s a basic bach salad; it is! There’s nothing really jumping out; it needs a bit of salt. I wouldn’t get it again, but it’s like I am eating it, and I am enjoying it!

We’re going to cleanse the palate with some vanilla and pineapple infused water. They have fully put a bloody vanilla bean in here! This was £2.50; it’s probably tap water! It just tastes so expensive. I feel like I’m drinking cake batter in the best way possible! I don’t really get the pineapple, but the vanilla I do taste. This is making me feel like I’m a billionaire! I’m weirdly into it!

Right, next up, this was a prawn one. They’re all cold, by the way. The filling was nice; the outside, not so much. Chicken gyoza: that’s tasty! I don’t know what any of these are. This was a beetroot something that genuinely just tastes like it could be cardboard for all I know. Honestly, genuinely, I don’t have a clue.

I’m seeing caviar on the top of this. I don’t like that one; that one’s ass! Green one? I’m yamming this so quick! By the way, the bad—don’t know what this is either. Couldn’t tell you! That’s all right, actually! I don’t think it is chicken yakitori stick; that looks pretty respectable. That is good! That is dripping in sauce—soft meat, tender, marinated—that is great! I’d get that again!

I’m going to wash this down with some dragon fruit lime infused water. I want to hate these, but I actually really like them! The vanilla one is better, but these are pretty cool.

Next up, the £18.55 cherries—this is £1.50 per cherry! So apparently there’s a pip inside a cherry that if you eat it, you die. I think that is true; you get cyanide. Okay, that’s the pip! Now I can enjoy it. It doesn’t really taste like a cherry. Is it supposed to taste like a cherry? ‘Cause it doesn’t really taste like a cherry! I would never get these again; it kind of just tastes like an apple! Surely it’s a sign that if you eat these pips, you die; you shouldn’t eat these things.

This is actually whack! I’d honestly go back to Harrod’s right now and just say, “Can I get a refund?” I’m going to finish this up, and then we’re going to do the dessert.

We finished the lunch; we do have to do a water test. This is award-winning Scandinavian water. So, ignoring the difference in currency, Air1’s most expensive water was $26.99; this was £2.50. I just love the bottle! As water goes, it’s smooth. I don’t know; it’s good water. I’m not really a water connoisseur; I don’t really know!

This is what I’m excited for: the box of chocolates! Maybe we just try a few rather than me eat all 16 of them. I don’t know what we actually got. I just said to the guy, “Just do your favourite.” Just said yes, yes, yes! Why did we get one of these? Why? That’s so good! That was Biscoff!

I guess you don’t eat it all, do you? No, it is—it’s fully metal! Okay, very nice! Nice, really luxurious! Got a branded chocolate here now; it could have been Harrison’s chocolate! This is mid! This is mid, honestly! Not going to lie, you love it all!

You know what I found so funny, by the way? One guy said in the video in the comments, “Harrison thinking up these elaborate video ideas just so he can take his boyfriend on dates.” Right, honey Bumpkin, what do you want next?

This is the one I was most interested about ’cause it looks like a mushroom. Okay, they’re all kind of just tasting the same at this point. This is like hazelnut again, I think. Let me just wash it down with some champers.

I’m kind of impressed! When you compare it to Air1, this was actually really good value. The cherries were the least value, and I want to say the salmon £9 box was good value. I’ve even saved this for later ’cause that’s how much I enjoyed it! I actually want to save it!

So, Harrod’s, well done, good job! Okay, don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to be getting this every day, but when you compare it to Air1, I don’t think it’s that bad! Like, obviously, you’re going to get a 3-4 meal deal instead for you every day, but £9 for something fresh, really, really tasty? I can’t complain!

Right, well thank you very much for watching. Peace out! Later! See you next week.
