Meatopia is set to cross the border<\/p>\n

For over a decade, this foodie sensation has hosted more than 400 top chefs in London and Dublin<\/a>, serving up extraordinary dishes using only ethically sourced produce and sustainable fuels.<\/p>\n

Now, Scotland<\/a> is getting its turn.<\/p>\n

The weekend-long event, running from 6th to 8th June, promises to bring together the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of BBQ talent from across the UK, Europe<\/a>, and beyond. <\/p>\n

Attendees can expect a carefully curated menu of smoky delights, frosty drinks, and an eclectic mix of live bands<\/a> and DJs<\/a> to keep the vibes alive.<\/p>\n

Organisers proudly claim Meatopia is the only food festival that meticulously curates its daily menu while insisting on ethically sourced meat, fish, and veg, all cooked using sustainably produced fuel.<\/p>\n

In a teaser<\/a> post, event bosses said: \u201cAfter 12 years on The Dock in London<\/a>, we\u2019re expanding our horizons and heading to a city that we\u2019ve always held in our heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cScotland is famous for its rich produce from land and sea, and after searching the British<\/a> Isles, the Scottish people struck a nerve \u2013 we were sold.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had the pleasure of hosting some incredible Scottish talent at our London festival over the years, but now it\u2019s time for us to head North and launch the inaugural Scottish Meatopia.”<\/p>\n

They added:\u00a0“Expect the same passion for live-fire cooking, global talent, unrivalled vibes, and unforgettable nights. S<\/p>\n

“Scotland, we can\u2019t wait to see what you bring to the Meatopia party<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
