There's power available at the cupboards so I was wondering about just
using local switching, but are there any other ideas I should consider?

Run them off a fused spur from a socket, then put a separate switch
where you want it.

The idiots that fitted the kitchen in my house put a fused switched spur
in the most inaccessible place they could find and didn't bother
installing a separate switch, which meant reaching behind the microwave
to switch the lights on and off.

I fitted a separate switch in a more accessible location, and put it on
the underside of the cupboards so it is hidden (for neatness). Ran the
cable behind the voids at the back of the wall cabinets.
