Meatopia is a call to arms for all you judicious lovers of meat, a clarion toot to the perfectionists amongst you who demand the best in taste and provenance. So, pick up your forks, sharpen your knives and ask not what you can do for Meatopia but what Meatopia can do for you.

For we the chefs, butchers, artisans, evangelists and burgerati of the movement hereby pledge that this September’s Meatopia UK festival shall adhere to the following sacred principles:

WE PROMISE… REAL FIRE

No butane, no propane, no convection and certainly no microwavery nonsense. Your taste buds will get nothing but meat cooked only over logs or hardwood charcoal.

WE PROMISE… NOTHING BUT THE BEST

Every piece of meat on offer will have been raised naturally, lived the best of lives and be totally and utterly hormone, anti-biotic and cruelty free.

WE PROMISE… LOCALLY SOURCED MEAT

Our animals will all be native UK breeds. Bred raised and butchered so locally even UKIP would be impressed.

WE PROMISE… NOSE TO TAIL TREATS

There’s so much more to meat than your day to day cuts. At Meatopia we celebrate the whole animal and will encourage you to do the same.

WE PROMISE… THE BEST IN BEVERAGES

Wondering what you’ll wash all this down with? Fear not. Meatopia will have the best in artisan ales, fine wines and delicious spirits to complement the food.

WE PROMISE… LIVE MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT

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.

I was keen on this until i saw that the suggested ticket was £85.

I can buy a lot of meat and booze for £85.

Will there be any vegetarian dishes? Um… no.

hehe

£85 for a whole day's worth of entertainment, 6 plates of meat, booze etc. etc. sounds alright value to me.. I'm wondering about sending my dad as a birthday present.

Hope it's better than Grillstock, which was crap.

Over-familiar marketing language on the site sets my teeth on edge.

"Clarion toot"

-fk off.

That's not to say I wouldn't eat myself unconscious there mind.

You can't bugger? I know we are all friends here, but I didn't need to know that. Not sure it's a pre req anyway

I'm not sure buggery is entirely mandatory. Unless I've hopelessly misread the meaning of 'meatopia'.

ETA, beaten to it by Kudos.
