- Are you a fiercely independent café, farm shop, restaurant, pub, or other intriguing place to eat or drink?
- Do you love what you do, and are you proud to serve delicious local food that gives your visitors a real flavour of the region?
- Do you care about low food miles, recycling, and green energy, and do you try to run as sustainable a business as you can?
We’re always looking for fantastic places to join our series of best-selling guidebooks. For The Extra Mile, they need to be near a motorway or main-road junction. For The Coastal Café Guide, you guessed it, they need to be at the coast (or very close to it). We think The Farm Shop Guide speaks for itself! If you run or know of a food business that fits any of our bills and would like to join one of our guides, fill out the contact form below and we’ll be in touch when we next revisit that title.
WHY JOIN OUR GUIDES?
We have 30 years’ experience
The founder of independent publishing company, Printslinger, has championed independent businesses for more than 30 years, guiding travellers to the most special hotels, B&Bs, inns, and self-catering places to stay (and producing myriad well-loved guidebooks along the way).
In 2022, Printslinger had a new injection of energy. Two new guides now join its flagship title, The Extra Mile: Delicious Alternatives to Motorway Services, with each book hitting the #1 Bestseller spot online. Printslinger books channel the founder’s enthusiasm for personality, originality, and authenticity when it comes to uncovering memorable places to eat. They steer motorists and independent-minded people away from bland, impersonal, and High Street food chains, and towards independent businesses that care about the flavour and provenance of the food they produce, and the impact they have on the planet.
Printslinger markets its books year-round in print and via online and social media channels, to secure maximum exposure for those in its books. 2024 coverage includes features or interviews in/ on: BBC Breakfast TV, BBC Radio, The Times, Waitrose Weekend, The Telegraph, The Sun, Cotswold Life, The Grocer, and more.
