Recent research by Kia has spotlighted rural restaurants across Britain perfect for a memorable drive-to-dine adventure. From Michelin-starred tasting menus in Kent to charming farm shops in the Midlands, these destinations are ideal for those eager to explore.
The research considered TripAdvisor reviews, Michelin awards, eco-friendly practices, and EV accessibility, ensuring a seamless experience for both petrol and electric vehicle drivers.
Here are the UK’s top three secret foodie hotspots:

This award-winning inn offers a rustic charm and a menu featuring seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Set between the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons, it has log fires and EV charging points, making it a perfect spot for a culinary detour. - The Small Holding, Cranbrook, South East
A self-sustaining Michelin Green Star restaurant run by two brothers, it emphasises a farm-to-fork experience. Guests can stroll through its gardens before enjoying a seasonal tasting menu. With over 20 EV chargers nearby, it also caters to eco-conscious diners. - Manor Farm Catthorpe, Lutterworth, Midlands
