Tesco was - as mostly for us - the best choice around. It is only medium-sized, but opens until 10pm and had everything we needed. Especially the meat and veggie section is important to us and did not disappoint. We found some nice dry-aged scottish steaks. Also good Lamp Chops for just 4£, good quality too! Some cheddar and Cheese-Naan on the side (and some salad). There are also good deals on wine. For about 6-10£ you really can find some enjoyable wine (try some Australian or some from Chile). Also - as usual - free WiFi in the shop (and the parking lot). They didn't have Krispy Kreme Donuts though .... D'oh!
