This statistic displays the results of a 2016 survey, which asked households in the United Kingdom (UK) where they shop for food. The majority of UK households said they shopped in large supermarkets. Home delivery from a supermarket was used by 14 percent of respondents, while three percent used other forms of home delivered food (including vegetable boxes).
