British supermarket favourites in the Philippines. Many of the products we stock at UK Food Store Philippines originally come from the big UK supermarkets that expats know well – the same shelves you’d browse back home before heading to the tills.

Where our British groceries typically come from: Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA, Morrisons, Iceland, Waitrose, Co-op and Marks & Spencer, as well as Aldi and Lidl for great-value everyday lines. You’ll often find the same brands you’d see in those UK stores – Cadbury, Galaxy, Nestlé, Rowntree’s, McVitie’s, Walkers, Bisto, Branston, Heinz, HP Sauce, Twinings, PG Tips, Yorkshire Tea, Mr Kipling, Fray Bentos and more.

Why this matters for British expats in the Philippines: if you’re used to buying your biscuits, chocolate, tea, sauces or Christmas treats at Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA, Iceland, Aldi, Lidl or Marks & Spencer in the UK, our goal is to make it easy to find similar favourites here in the Philippines. We focus on genuine UK-spec products and clearly labelled best-before dates, with simple PHP 100 nationwide delivery so you can stock up on the tastes of home without hunting from shop to shop.

Why Brits call them “tin pies”

Fray Bentos pies are famous across the UK for being the original tin pie — a full British pie in a tin that goes straight into the oven. Many people also call them tinned pies, pie in a tin or simply “Fray Bentos tin”. Whatever you call them, the idea is the same: easy, warm, filling and unmistakably British.

This simple idea is exactly why the pies remain so popular with expats. They are reliable, quick to prepare, and taste just like they did back home.

The most popular Fray Bentos flavours

Here are the top favourites among British expats in the Philippines:

Steak & Kidney Rich, deep and unmistakably traditional — the classic British favourite.	Steak & Gravy Comforting, smooth and perfect with mash or chips.
Minced Beef & Onion Savoury, full-flavoured and perfect with a cup of British tea.	Just Chicken Light, tender and ideal for anyone who prefers a milder gravy.

Why British expats still love Fray Bentos

A Fray Bentos pie is one of the most recognisable pieces of British comfort food. Here’s why it remains a favourite abroad:

It tastes exactly like the UK version — no substitutes, no local changes.
It’s incredibly easy — oven, bake, done.
It’s comfort food — perfect for busy expat life.
It’s nostalgic — a taste of home whenever you need it.

How to cook your pie in a tin

Cooking a Fray Bentos pie in the Philippines is the same as cooking it in the UK. Here’s the simple method people rely on:

Preheat the oven according to the tin instructions.
Remove the lid completely.
Place the tin on a baking tray.
Bake until the pastry rises and turns golden.

If your oven runs slightly cooler (common in the Philippines), simply add an extra 5–10 minutes to help the pastry rise.
