Category: Meatfest Prelude

Only a few days left before the stew is bubbling and our annual festival of meat and good company begins again!

Please fill in the following poll if you haven’t already, will help me order the meat.https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/93WDZKD

I have obtained a 7.5KG leg of pork from a local smallholder (Fouracres Smallholding) down here in Norfolk, as well as 4.5kg of Mutton shoulder which will contribute to a Meatfest first! This year we are having a carvery for our sunday tea. Don’t worry there will still be the epic BBQ with more meat than you can shake a sauce at.

For now to whet the appetite, here is a picture of the pork leg.

The site goes from this…

To this….

Just the tents to put up while the stew bubbles….

Here it is. In my boot. A mini porker. Kip is going mad slavering!

Well, it’s done. For better or worse I’ve just spent the last 5 nights sawing, filing, riveting, drilling and bolting the latest meatfest creation. We’ve got a Flag. We’ve got a website. We’ve got the branding iron. And now we have THE BEAST. An oil drum barbeque/ spit roaster / smoker. Oh yes. This year we are roasting a whole suckling pig.

Survival Dan has booked Dale Bottom Farm for meatfest this year!!!! Well done Dan!  Price is going to be £60 like last year (Children half price or less contact me for details).

Peter Bull mentioned meatfest. Better start thinking about all that lovely meat.
