Printslinger books. Best-selling food and travel guides for independent-minded people.

Printslinger is a Bristol-based company known for books that seek out and celebrate smaller foodie businesses. Its current guidebook titles are The Extra Mile: Delicious Alternatives to Motorway Services; The Coastal Café Guide; and 2024’s The Farm Shop Guide. All will help make your day more memorable, by steering you away from mediocre, expensive motorway service stations (and franchised food and drink haunts) and into the arms of the UK’s best farm shops, independent cafés, welcoming pubs, coastal cafés and more. Buy our books from this site or elsewhere online, and get in touch to discuss being in or stocking our guides, or working with us.
