Tesco has more than doubled the number of stores offering its Polish food range in the past year to cater for the influx of workers.

A taste of home: Maggi Maciejcek shopping for Polish food in Tesco store in Hammersmith.

Its store in Hammersmith, west London is one of more than 500 offering Polish produce.

Tesco has 248 stores in Poland and gets regular customer feedback in the UK and Poland.

Poles are now the biggest group of foreign nationals in Britain compared with 13th in 2004.

The number of people flying between the UK and Poland has hit 385,000 a month – an almost tenfold increase in the past four years.

'The demand for Polish delicacies has been overwhelming right across Britain and we have doubled our range in the past six months,' says a Tesco spokeswoman.

Products include pulpety (meatballs), Tyskie beer and confectionery brands such as Gorzka and Akuku. Sainsbury's has introduced 81 lines in the past 15 months, including Bigos Polish cabbage and meat stew, Krakus sauerkraut, Mispol Apetit goose liver pate and seasonal products such as carp, popular at Christmas.

At Asda, sesame snaps, pickles and Lech beer are popular products in the 180 stores stocking Polish-specific products and larger ranges are planned.

Sainsbury's says: 'The increase in demand is not solely from the Polish community. When we began the pilot scheme last year it tempted other customers to try things out.'

Waitrose does not specifically cater for Polish shoppers, as other supermarkets have done, but has introduced products to cater for a growing range of tastes shown by UK shoppers generally.

A spokesman says: 'We have a wide range of Polish food and drink to appeal to a cosmopolitan customer base as well as foodies who want to enjoy authentic ingredients.' This includes Polish ham, marinated in Tyskie beer, and Wiejska, a lightly smoked sausage.
