Premium 2kg Ice Cubes from Iceland in London have been named the UK's number one most-trending Deliveroo order of 2026, marking the first time a grocery item has topped the list in its ten-year history.
Deliveroo unveiled its annual Deliveroo 100 on the countdown's tenth anniversary, reflecting what Britain has ordered during cultural moments ranging from Brexit and royal weddings to Tiger King, Brat summer and the World Cup. Since it launched in 2016, the list has charted changing tastes, cravings and shopping habits across the UK.
Grocery item tops UK list for first time
In a year of soaring temperatures, the ice cubes beat traditional takeaway favourites to claim the top spot. The Diavola Pizza from Monte Forte Neapolitan Pizza in Horsham took 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."
Protein-maxxing dominates global list
Globally, 2026 was the year of "protein-maxxing", with chicken featuring in more than 20 of the world's 100 most-trending items. Protein-heavy dishes including beef bowls, steak sandwiches and fish biryani also made the list.
Food analysts at Innova named "powerhouse protein" the number one food trend of 2026. The global top spot went to a Build Your Own Signature Plate from Dayz in Paris, while ice finished second worldwide.
Grocery and retail share grows
Grocery and retail items now make up the biggest share of the list to date at 10%, from 2kg bags of ice, flowers and golden kiwis in the UK to watermelon in Belgium and deodorant and toothpaste in Ireland.
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."
