Tobacco Dock — Attraction in London

Came for Meatopia, an event I've been to several times. It was much quieter than previous years making it easier to get around but I also felt it wasn't as good value. For example, the Cellar food and wine pairing effectively giving about 75ml of wine for the equivalent of £6, out of a bottle that retails at £13. The ice cream cost a full £7 token which is probably the most I've ever paid for soft serve. The Friday session was open from lunch time and half of the stalls I wanted to try had sold out by the time I got there at 5pm. I appreciate they want to reduce food waste but running out half way through the day tells me there was some bad planning going on. The retail offering was rather poor; I'm sure there was much more available in previous years. Hopefully these issues are just because the hospitality industry is struggling at the moment and it'll be back to its previous...

I found the building and venue very cool, especially the bricklaying was incredible.. I went to this venue for the annual Meatopia event.. I had never been before and to be completely honest my expectations were higher than what I got. First of all the tickets were extremely expensive for what I got considering I had to pay all the food aswell🫰I went on the Friday and the ques were very long and many of the stands had already run out and shut. Although the meat was good I've definitely had better elsewhere. The overall vibe was really good. Apart from all the smoke from the bbq's. There were two music areas.. with lots dancing going on and the shop was also really nice with some cool things to buy that you wouldn't particularly find elsewhere. Overall, I did enjoy myself and it's good to do once for the experience but If I got offered to go again I wouldn't...

An unforgettable experience at Meatopia!

I had the best time at Meatopia at Tobacco Dock — it’s truly a dream for any meat lover. The venue itself is amazing — a historic, atmospheric warehouse filled with the smoky aroma of live-fire cooking. The energy was unreal, with top chefs serving creative, delicious dishes cooked right in front of you over wood and charcoal.

Everything was ethically sourced and beautifully presented. My favourites were the slow-cooked beef short rib, venison sashimi, and the fire-grilled ox heart — all absolutely bursting with flavour. The “Meatbucks” system made it fun to sample a variety of dishes.

There was also great live music, craft drinks, and a buzzing crowd that made the whole day feel like a proper food festival. Yes, it’s a bit of a spend, but for the quality and vibe, it’s 100% worth it. Can’t wait to come...
