Like Sir Trev said, your best bet is mail order from a good roastery and they will grind the beans to the correct size for your percolator. Lots of choice but it's more economical to buy it in kilo bags - cheaper! Give Tynemouth Coffee a try; £20 delivered.
If you really must go supermarket, Lavazza (rossa or crema e gusto ain't bad) or Illy are two of the better brands. However, they are ground quite fine for espresso so I'm not sure whether they'd choke your percolator. 'Union' are also another good brand and usually relatively freshly (for a supermarket) roasted with a roast month on the bag. Plenty different types of beans and Sainsbury's usually stock a good range.
