If you were to survey the entire world on what brings them joy, I can guarantee you'd spot three specific things. Along with stuff like sex and “valuable time with loved ones” (yawn), atop every list would be: sun, music and tacos.Conveniently enough, this is the fate that befalls attendees of this year's Beat Hotel Marrakech. This year, MUNCHIES partners with the Glastonbury-stage-turned-festival in Morocco to host a variety of culinary events, transforming a weekend of listening-to-really-good-music-in-the-sun into, listening-to-really-good-music-in-the-sun-with-a-lime-soaked-baja-fish-taco-cradled-tenderly-in-your-palm. Glastonbury who?Forget eating a cereal bar for dinner as you wade through viscous festival mud – Beat Hotel Marrakech returns with a tasty, food and drink line-up, building on last year's impressive spread. MUNCHIES partners with London’s famous El Pastor restaurant to deliver a poolside taco feast. The restaurant, borne out of Sam Hart and Crispin Somerville’s experience running a nightclub in Mexico City, brings its extensive taqueria knowledge to the festival, offering its signature marinated meat, battered fish and tender vegetable tacos.MUNCHIES also joins Robin Gill – the chef behind London restaurants The Dairy and Sorella – to host a banquet with iconic Marrakech restaurant Nomad. It’s set to be a dinner like no other: an innovative twist on some Moroccan classics, with options for veggies, carnivores and seshers alike.See you by the pool?Beat Hotel Marrakech in Morocco has been postponed due to coronavirus.
