Meatopia, a well-known food festival that has been a hit in London for over a decade, is making its way to SWG3 in Glasgow from June 6 to 8, 2025. This exciting event will showcase chefs from all over the world, along with local culinary talents, who will be cooking up delicious dishes over open flames.
In addition to the mouth-watering food offerings, attendees can also look forward to enjoying drinks and live music at the festival. Meatopia has a reputation for featuring some of the biggest names in the culinary world, including renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi, Fergus Henderson, and Sam Yorke.
The festival is centered around principles of sustainability, top-quality ingredients, and unforgettable flavors. With a focus on responsible sourcing, Meatopia highlights flame-cooked dishes made with locally-sourced ingredients to promote ethical and sustainable practices in the food industry.
Originally founded in the US by the late Josh Ozersky, Meatopia made its way to the UK in 2013 thanks to Mat Kemp, Richard Turner, and James George. Mat Kemp, the creative director of the festival, expressed his excitement about bringing Meatopia to Glasgow, emphasizing the abundance of natural food resources and the vibrant food scene in the city.
Over the years, Meatopia has gained immense popularity and success, selling out every year due to its unique experience that celebrates naturally raised and ethically sourced meat, fish, and vegetables cooked solely with fire or smoke. The festival aims to highlight hands-on cooks, age-old techniques, and the beauty of natural food, making it a must-visit event for food enthusiasts.
Last year’s Meatopia event marked its 10-year anniversary, attracting over 100 chefs and 16,000 visitors. Past lineups have featured talented chefs like Adriana Cavita and BBQ expert Tuffy Stone.
