Pulse and Pickle CIC

Walk into Pulse and Pickle and you'll immediately clock that this isn't your standard Walthamstow dinner spot. It's a workers' cooperative, which means the energy feels genuinely collaborative rather than transactional. The High Street location puts you right in the thick of things, and the menu pivots around vegetables and pulses done properly—not as an afterthought, but as the main event. You're looking at food that tastes indulgent without the meat, the dairy, or the guilt. It's the kind of place where locals actually sit down and linger, whether you're after a quick weekday bite or something more substantial.
