Anyone been to meatopia, what's it like? What do you do, is it a few hours thing or n all dyer type thing.

For those that don't know its a meat festival in London, with top chefs, butchers and music.
http://www.meatopia.co.uk

Meatopia is not just about eating and drinking. There will be live bands, butchery demos, informal workshops, art installations, our favourite street theatre and jaw dropping live performances.

Edit - d'oh wrong forum, please move to La Cuisine

Is it the same place where you can have a meatotomy?

I love meat, I know it's not related to the meat festival, but I've been to Viva Brazil a few times recently, and each time it's been supreme. I love me some bleu rare steaks from there.

I haven't been to any meat festivals myself, but it seems like it would be a great thing to go to, though Meatopia is too much of a travel for me.

Well I hadn't heard of it until now, but now I'm very interested

I really fancy going to this. Missed it last year, bit of a trek for us though from Liverpool.

Was telling my girlfriend about this yesterday. I think we're going to go. Not for the two day session though, I'll be in a meat induced coma after the first one!

Sounds amazing! Do they get PETA protestors and wotnot?

Sounds a bit like Grillstock which has started in Bristol and Manchester. I missed out last year but got weekend tickets for this year.

Can't wait.

Well I read that bit, but that doesn't answer my question as to whether or not they actually get bothered by peta et al. I'll Google it instead.

Hadn't heard of it before until I saw this thread, I think my girlfriend and I will be going for both days now, thanks for the heads up. We're big meat & BBQ fans and are off to grillstock also, can't wait!

I tried to get tickets for last year's event. Missed out, but my mate went. Said it was decent, although by the time he got there at 12.30pm a lot of the stalls had sold out, and there were huge unmanageable queues at others. He did stuff his face though, so clearly he enjoyed himself.

J-FRO · 18 Feb 2014 at 11:07

Saturday tickets booked!

Oh Ed not again. · 18 Feb 2014 at 11:11

Sounds like a bit of a sausage-fest.

taB · 20 Aug 2014 at 16:48

Just to have a bump, am off to this on the Saturday and can't wait!

Glaucus · 20 Aug 2014 at 20:31
