                      Response to the Londis Announcement


The Board of the Big Food Group plc ("BFG") has noted today's announcement by
the Board of Londis concerning the proposed offer by Musgrave.  Pending the
publication of up to date financial information on Londis it is not possible for
shareholders or third parties to evaluate the offer.

Despite making its strategic case as a potential acquirer and seeking to engage
the Board of Londis in discussions, BFG has not participated in the process run
by KPMG, because of the anti-competitive constraints Londis and KPMG sought to
impose as a pre-condition to participation.  BFG has not therefore submitted an
offer for Londis.

The Board of BFG remains interested in the possible acquisition of Londis and
will continue to consider its options in relation to the Company.  In the
meantime BFG awaits the publication of more meaningful financial information on
Londis.
