Europcar survey* reveals 95% of motorists believe the choice, price and quality of roadside food is unacceptable - with 80% saying they have previously gone hungry rather than eat f r o m the selection on offer.

To escape the tyranny of the motorway service food offering and celebrate the diversity of Britain’s local, independently owned eateries, Europcar, the UK’s leading car hire company, has teamed up with The Guild of Food Writers to produce a free-to-download Roadside Gastro Guide.

Instead of offering yet another list of renowned, Michelin-starred, celebrity chef restaurants, The Roadside Gastro Guide tapped into the knowledge of some of the UKs finest food writers and broadcasters - including Anthony Worrall Thompson and Valentine Warner - to reveal 20 of Britain’s hidden culinary gems.

Stretching f r o m the Scottish Highlands to the Dorset coast, the Europcar guide includes everything f r o m country inns, to tea shops and stately homes, and all specialise in offering locally sourced, fresh, home-cooked fare.

A far cry yet a short distance f r o m the motorway services, the guide reveals a foodie world of individual character, spectacular views, friendly service, converted barns, quirky décor, old-fashioned bone china and quirkily named dishes such as the Wortley Wedge - ‘a beast of a sandwich made f r o m the roast of the day’.
