Deliveroo's Top UK Order of 2026 Is a Bag of Ice
A decade into the Deliveroo 100, the list of trending orders is topped by groceries, protein and a Paris plate, not by restaurant dishes.
Deliveroo's 2026 list puts a 2-kilogram bag of ice at No. 1 in the UK and a Paris restaurant's build-your-own plate at No. 1 globally.

Protein runs the rest of the list. Chicken appears in more than 20 of the 100 trending items, alongside beef bowls, steak sandwiches and a fish biryani, and the research firm Innova has named "powerhouse protein" the No. 1 food trend of 2026.

Britain's most popular actual restaurant order is a diavola pizza from Monte Forte Neapolitan Pizza in Horsham, West Sussex. Further down the list, golden kiwis rode more than 10.1 million TikTok views onto the chart, and mango paired with chili, a combination users call "fricy," made the trending items.

"As the Deliveroo 100 turns ten, it's a big change from 2016, when this was a list of restaurant dishes," said Jeff Wemyss, Deliveroo's vice president and general manager for the UK and Ireland. [The UK's most popular takeaway of 2026? A bag of ice — Country & Town House]
