                        Results of Court Meeting and EGM:
                  Recommended Acquisition by Giant Bidco Limited


The Big Food Group plc ("BFG") is pleased to announce that the resolutions to
approve the recommended acquisition of the Group by Giant Bidco Limited for 95
pence cash per share by means of a Scheme of Arrangement were duly passed at a
Court Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting held today in London.

The Court Hearings of BFG's petition to sanction the Scheme and to confirm the
reduction of BFG's share capital are expected to take place on 8 February and 10
February respectively. Subject to the Scheme receiving the sanction and
confirmation of the Court on those dates, the effective date of the Scheme is
expected to be 11 February and consideration due to shareholders is expected to
be sent by 25 February. On that basis, the last day for dealings in BFG Shares
on the London Stock Exchange is expected to be 10 February and no transfers of
BFG Shares will be registered after 6.00 p.m. on that date. If the Scheme
becomes effective on 11 February, the listing of BFG shares will be cancelled on
11 February.

Terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as set out in the
Scheme document dated 22 December 2004.

A copy of the resolutions to approve the Scheme of Arrangement has been
submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will shortly be available for
