Behind Restaurant
Michelin-starred but relaxed dining in London Fields — creative food, highchairs available, buggy-friendly.
Restaurant · Hackney
Pockets is a much-loved little spot in Hackney doing exactly one thing — a falafel pitta — and doing it brilliantly, with freshly made falafels, tahini, fried aubergine, and a punchy chilli spread that you can dial up as spicy as you like. It's a casual, feel-good kind of place with outdoor seating, and it's easy to navigate with a buggy; highchairs are generally available, and there's a kids' menu, though bear in mind there's no baby changing on site. Vegan families will be well looked after here, and the generous, wallet-friendly portions make it a genuinely rewarding stop for the whole family.

The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
