UK supermarkets in the Philippines – Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA & more
Wondering if Tesco, Sainsbury’s or ASDA exist in the Philippines? This guide explains what’s available, how UK supermarket-style favourites reach the country, and how to get those British groceries delivered nationwide with PHP 100 delivery and safe Cash-on-Delivery.
Many British expats in the Philippines miss the simple comfort of walking into Tesco, Sainsbury’s or ASDA and filling a trolley with familiar brands. While those UK supermarkets don’t actually operate here, you can still enjoy a lot of the same favourites — cereals, biscuits, tea, sauces and more — through UK Food Store Philippines.
We specialise in bringing genuine UK supermarket groceries to the Philippines, with clearly labelled best-before dates, careful packing and simple PHP 100 nationwide delivery. Instead of hunting around different shops, you can order online and have proper British food sent straight to your door, alongside other essentials from our British Food Cupboard guide.
If you’d like a wider overview of local and online options, our article on where to buy British food in the Philippines is a helpful companion piece to this supermarket guide.
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.
UK Food Store Philippines is an independent retailer and is not affiliated with Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA, Morrisons, Iceland, Waitrose, Co-op, Marks & Spencer, Aldi or Lidl – we simply know these are the supermarkets British shoppers miss most.
Do Tesco, Sainsbury’s or ASDA exist in the Philippines?
No — there are currently no official branches of Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA, Morrisons, Iceland or Waitrose in the Philippines. You might occasionally see a few imported items in big malls, but stock is limited, pricing is high and it can disappear without warning.
That’s where UK Food Store Philippines comes in. We import British groceries from suppliers that work with the same UK supermarkets you already know. That means many of our items are the same brands you’d see on shelves in:
- Tesco – cereals, biscuits, sauces, tinned meals and sweets
- Sainsbury’s – own-label tins, jams, snacks and baking items
- ASDA – family favourites, sauces and cupboard basics
- Morrisons – biscuits, cakes, tinned goods and seasonal lines
- Iceland – classic frozen-style comfort foods, now in ambient form where possible
- Waitrose & Marks & Spencer – more premium treats and biscuits
- Aldi & Lidl – great-value everyday favourites and snacks
