If you’re a carnivore with a big appetite for BBQ, Meatopia has your name written all over it. The boozy food fest is a veritable utopia for meat lovers, with 50 chefs invited down over four days to cook up a storm.
Peddling their wares at this year’s edition of the UK’s OG BBQ festival are Andrew Clarke of renowned live fire restaurant Acme Fire Cult, rave-reviewed Manchester spot Stow's chef Jamie Pickles, Drew Snaith from new Hackney spot Sesta and Michelin-starred dining concept HUMO.
Today’s session starts at 2pm and runs til 10pm, meaning you’ve got eight whole hours to scran as much pulled pork, beef ragu, roasted bone marrow and woof-fired venison as you can. Book your tickets here, but be warned – they don’t include food, and the queues here can be lengthy, so it’s best to arrive early with your ‘meatbuck’ tokens at the ready.
