OUR huge tesco (in Bristol) has a wide selection and I find that the best. Though the smaller ones aren't as good.

I think that sainsbury's do quite a few freefrom items.

We use Tesco - they have nice gluten and dairy free 'bread' products such as hot cross buns, fruit loaf, pitta breads, croissants and rolls.
Our local Sainsbury's have stopped stocking any frozen 'free from' food.

Sainsburys-VB it might come back- our store was revamped and it disappeared for a few weeks (cue panic here- Tesco don't have the pizza- staple freezer food in this house- only thing ds1 would eat for 3 years etc), it came back in new packaging.

Morrisons stock whizzers (ds1's favourite sweet- he'll do anything for a whizzer).

Thanks, Jimjams.
Whizzers (and the footballs and the eggs) are on special offer in Morrisons at the moment here - they are popular in our house too.
Good news about the Sainsbury's revamp - will keep our fingers crossed!
Tesco's do pizza bases in packs of two - and they are great to bung in the freezer.

can't have those- they contain sorbitol!

may I recommend particularly the shortbread biscuits with jammy bits in the free from range (hoping desperately they're milk free)
