Pockets

If you’re under the impression that falafel is a boring lunch option, you clearly haven’t tried Pockets. The London Fields ‘pita bar’ started as a stall in Netil Market, before the foodies of Instagram soon discovered its pillowy steamed pitas stuffed with herby, crispy falafel balls, fragrant sauces, fried potato and eye-watering chilli. Overnight, there was a whopping great queue whenever you turned up. Pockets has since moved to bigger premises around the corner, but the queue just keeps on growing too. Want to beat the crowds? Turn up before 11am on a gloomy rainy day and you’ll be one of the first served. But no matter how long you have to wait, it’s always worth it.
