However in the OP's case it sounds as though MDPE to the stopcock would
be the most reliable thing to do.

And some water companies will do it for free and have the moleing kit
to avoid having to dig trenches...

Anglia Water claim you have to get the pipe to the roadside yourself.

That is theoretically true if the stopcock is in the road. When I had a
meter fitted they moved it onto my property so that the meter reader
doesn't have to stand (or kneel) in the road to read the meter.

My meter is in the pavement, which is neither the road, nor my property.
From talking to meter readers at a previous property they read them with
some kind of contactless technology.
