Meatopia London has become one of the best known London food festivals, and a legendary event for food and fire-cooking lovers. Founded in the US by the late, great Josh Ozersky and brought to the UK by a group of passionate food enthusiasts, Meatopia is a weekend-long love affair with food, drink, fire and music.

Each year, we gather more than 60 of the world’s best live-fire chefs from all corners of the world to each cook an exclusive dish over sustainably-sourced wood and charcoal. We stand for conscious sourcing: only high quality, responsibly sourced ingredients (that means meat, fish and veg) make it onto the Meatopia menu, which is painstakingly put together over the course of the year with countless chef tasting sessions and refinements made to each and every item on the menu.

“In scenes straight out of Dickens, smoke billowed from grills in the converted Victorian warehouses as chefs dished up burgers, pulled pork and grilled chicken for the crowds.”

Xanthe Clay, The Telegraph

The Meatopia experience is built on four pillars

EAT 🔪

Each year the world’s best live-fire chefs cooked exclusive dishes over each of the Meatopia weekends, using nothing but sustainable wood and charcoal and responsibly-sourced, quality ingredients — that means meat, fish and veg. Our alumni of chefs include Francis Mallmann, Niklas Ekstedt, Amninder Sandhu, Yotam Ottolenghi, Dave Pynt, Aaron Franklin, Fergus Henderson, Bryan Furman, and Lennox Hastie.

DRINK 🍻

All that smokey, flavour-filled food is thirsty work. Luckily for you, Meatopia has a mind-boggling array of quenching beverages on offer. Think sinking a few sundowners in the yard, all manner of spirits, cocktails and liquid delights are on offer.

FIRE 🔥

The finest, most sustainably sourced wood and charcoal is the star of the show at Meatopia, so gather around the fire and let your inner cave-person be mesmerised by it. From simple grills to imposing smokers and roaring fire-pits, every method of fire cooking imaginable is on show at Meatopia, and at the helm of the flames are some of the world’s most skilled chefs.

MUSIC 🎺

Live musicians, roaming brass bands, DJs and soulful singers can be found in every corner of the festival, and a crowd to go with them. We’ve had everyone from infamous party-starters New York Brass Band to legendary last-man-standing Bez of the Happy Mondays play to our punters, keeping the good vibes going through day and night.
