Deliveroo has unveiled its annual Deliveroo 100 – marking ten years of its countdown of the most-trending orders on the app.
Deliveroo has unveiled its annual Deliveroo 100 – marking ten years of its countdown of the most-trending orders on the app – and this year’s UK winner is officially the coolest yet. From Brexit and royal weddings to Tiger King, Brat summer and the World Cup, the Deliveroo 100 has spent a decade reflecting what Britain has been ordering through some of the country’s biggest cultural moments.
Since it launched in 2016, the list has charted changing tastes, cravings and shopping habits across the UK, and this year’s top pick shows how quickly those habits can shift with the weather.
In a year of soaring temperatures, Premium 2kg Ice Cubes from Iceland in London have been crowned the UK’s number one most-trending order of 2026 – the first time a grocery item has topped the UK Deliveroo 100 in the list’s ten-year history.
Ice also finished second globally, beating protein-packed bowls, pizzas and sandwiches from around the world – missing out on the top spot only to a Build Your Own Signature Plate from Dayz in Paris.
This year’s UK list was anything but ordinary, featuring a gloriously mixed bag of dishes, treats and everyday essentials. And while ice took the crown, traditional takeaway favourites still proved hugely popular, with Monte Forte Neapolitan Pizza’s Diavola taking second place in the UK and seventh globally.
A spokesperson from Monte Forte Neapolitan Pizza said: “We’re incredibly proud that our Diavola from Monte Forte in Horsham has made the Deliveroo 100. Seeing it alongside some of the biggest names in the world is a bit surreal.
“Our team puts so much care into every pizza, and knowing our customers keep coming back for it makes this recognition even sweeter. A huge thank you to everyone who’s ordered, to our brilliant team.”
While ice stole the show in the UK, 2026 was the year of “protein-maxxing” globally. Chicken featured in more than 20 of the world’s 100 most-trending items, with protein-heavy dishes including beef bowls, steak sandwiches and fish biryani also making the list – signalling the trend shows no sign of slowing down.
Food analysts at Innova named “powerhouse protein” the number one food trend of 2026. At least 20 dishes feature chicken or other protein, from Dubai’s wings to Milan’s cashew chicken, while a Beef Power Bowl, a steak sandwich and a fish biryani all flex their way onto the list.
Meanwhile, grocery and retail items make up the biggest share of the list to date (10%) – from 2kg bags of ice, flowers and golden kiwis in the UK, to watermelon in Belgium and deodorant and toothpaste in Ireland – as more consumers turn to Deliveroo for much more than a classic Friday-night takeaway.
Jeff Wemyss, VP and General Manager for UK & Ireland, said: “As the Deliveroo 100 turns ten, it’s a big change from 2016, when this was a list of restaurant dishes. Today the same app brings you a post-gym beef bowl, a 2kg bag of ice in a heatwave or tights before a night out, whatever the moment.”
