I have worked in food manufacturing.
"Best before" dates are just estimates. Most food is perfectly safe to eat after the use by date; it's just there to cover the shop's bum. Also, different shops will put different dates on the same food made on the same assembly line on the same dat (Tesco is always 2 days earlier than everyone else).
Frozen food is safe indefinitely, since it's frozen. Chemistry doesn't happen.

I think that last statement is a bit extreme. Chemistry does happen; just more slowly. A freezer runs at –18°C, not at absolute zero. 😄
