Meatopia is back for 2019 with another great chef line-up (and lots of meat)

Gavin Hanly 22 May 2019

Once again, London is getting ready for another great-sounding Meatopia festival over in Tobacco Dock. Every year (this will be its seventh), a great selection of top chefs get together to create some truly excellent dishes - all created specifically for the festival. You won't see any of these dishes elsewhere. Oh, and a lot of meat is involved.

The 2019 line-up is looking pretty good already. Chefs appearing include:

Tom Brown - from Cornerstone in Hackney - best known for his seafood, so it'll be interesting to see what he's cooking up on the day
James Cochran - of Islington's 12:51
Ramael Scully - from Scully in St James's Market and ex NOPI.
Nieves Barragan Mohacho - from the Michelin-starred Sabor in Mayfair
David Carter - of Shoreditch's Smokestak, well known for its meat cred
James Whetlor - of Cabrito, who has popularised the use of goat on many a London menu
Roberta Hall-McCarron of The Little Chartroom, Edinburgh and Best Chef at The YBFs last year.
Dave Bone & Anthony Power of Pilgrim, Liverpool, recent winners of the BBC’s My Million Pound Menu.
Sam Evans - Hangfire Smokehouse in Wales, current holders of Observer Food Monthly’s ‘Best Restaurant’ award.

Plus from outside of the UK...

Amninder Sandhu - of Arth, Mumbai, recently seen in Netflix’s The Final Table
Bryan Furman - B’s Cracklin’ BBQ, Atlanta - cooking in the UK for the first time
Jeff Claudio & Andrei Soen - of Rosita’s Deluxe in Singapore cooking up burgers
Joan Bagur - of Oaxaca Cuina in Barcelona
Killian Crowley - Aniar in Galway in Ireland, one of the two Michelin starred restaurants in the city
Max Levy & Siam Sattayaphan - of Sausage Commitment, Hong Kong, showcasing fermented and smoked Asian sausages

Tickets are on sale now - and we'll have more info about the dishes available closer to the event.
