Pockets

Pockets, located on Mentmore Terrace in the vibrant neighbourhood of London Fields, is a plant-based pitta bar that has garnered a devoted following for its exceptional falafel offerings. Originating as a stall in Netil Market, Pockets has transitioned to a permanent location, continuing to serve its signature steamed pitta pockets. Each pitta is freshly baked and generously filled with crispy falafel, fried potato, hummus, tahini, zhoug, amba, and pickled chilies, creating a harmonious blend of Middle Eastern flavours. The establishment operates on a takeaway-only basis, allowing patrons to enjoy their meals in nearby London Fields park or on the go. The popularity of Pockets is evident from the frequent queues that form outside its doors, a testament to its reputation for delivering one of London's most satisfying vegan lunches. The combination of freshly prepared ingredients and bold flavours has made it a standout in East London's culinary scene. Open from Wednesday to Sunday, Pockets offers lunch during the weekdays and extends its hours for brunch on weekends, providing a delightful option for those seeking a hearty, plant-based meal.
