The biggest event in the BBQ lover’s calendar will be rolling into London later this summer
Yes, the one and only Meatopia is returning once again – and the first 50 chefs on the line-up have just been announced. For four days this summer, Tobacco Dock will be taken over by chefs from some of the best meat-based restaurants around and filled with smoky, meaty goodness.
This year, the fest is welcoming first-timers MELT, Texas BBQ specialists from Paris, as well as long-time Meatopia collaborator Adriana Cavita of Cavita. Other highlights are set to include Ben Tish (Director at Cubitt House, representing The Orange), Ana Da Costa (of Mama Da Costa), Nathan Chapman (of Quality Chop House), Łukasz Kiełbasiński (Embers Yard) and Mursal Saiq (of Cue Point). There are loads of other exceptional chefs on the list, and even more to be announced in July.
It’s not a festival without music, so expect live performances, roaming brass bands, DJs and soulful singers to keep the good times rolling. And, once again, TAPtopia has the brews covered. It’s set to be four days of meaty madness, stretchy trousers at the ready.
Thurs 29th August – Sun 1st September 2024
