A two-kilogram bag of ice cubes has become the UK’s most popular Deliveroo order after the country experienced its hottest summer on record.
Deliveroo’s annual Top 10 UK ranking highlights how shoppers are increasingly turning to the app for everyday essentials. Iceland’s Premium 2KG Ice Cubes topped the list as the nation’s most-ordered item this year.
Several other grocery and pharmacy products also featured. Mango sorbet from Morrisons in Glasgow came fourth, while allergy tablets from Boots in London ranked sixth.
The second-most ordered item was the Diavolo Pizza from Horsham pizzeria Monte Forte.
Priced at £13.95, the pizza is topped with salami Napoli, basil, mozzarella, parmesan and extra-virgin olive oil. It also secured the restaurant a place in Deliveroo’s global Top 10—an achievement the team described as ‘surreal’.
The Lean Green smoothie from Dublin-based Juice Jar ranked fourth globally, while the Xi’an Famous Biang Biang Noodle from Dublin’s Xian Street Food took eighth place.
Dubai restaurant Feels’ Beef Power Bowls came third worldwide, followed by Joe & The Juice’s Dijon Club Sandwich, available from outlets in the Emirati city.
The global number one was a Parisian restaurant known for its healthy ‘signature plates’, priced from €13.50. Dayz claimed the top spot after overtaking a family-run London bagel shop.
Deliveroo’s annual Top 10 UK list shows that Britons are increasingly using the app for their weekly shop, with Iceland’s Premium 2KG Ice Cubes emerging as the country’s most-ordered item this year
That family-run business had delivered Deliveroo’s most-trending dish in 2025, with its Classic smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel outperforming major restaurant groups and international chains.
This year, however, no restaurant or takeaway claimed the UK crown. Instead, customers repeatedly ordered large bags of ice from Iceland during a summer marked by droughts and wildfires.
Monte Forte’s Neapolitan Diavolo pizza was the UK’s second-most popular order and ranked seventh worldwide. A spokesperson for the Horsham restaurant 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.’
Other UK favourites included Dishoom’s £14.90 Chilli Broccoli Salad in Manchester, Nando’s £3.50 Charred Corn and the Prawn & Pork Spicy Wonton from viral Taiwanese restaurant Din Tai Fung in London.
This is the first time since Deliveroo began publishing its annual rankings that a grocery product has taken the UK’s top spot.

An early hay fever season also drove demand for Clarityn allergy tablets, while 40 denier tights from Accessorize in London and an eyelash curler from Boots also appeared among the UK’s popular orders.
Across the world, protein-rich meals from Dayz in Paris were the most popular Deliveroo orders of 2026, displacing a bagel from London’s family-run Papo’s kitchen.

The previous year’s number one was the ‘Classic’ bagel from the New York-style shop, which formerly operated in Dalston.
Husband-and-wife team Georgia Fewick-Gomez and Gabe ‘Papo’ Gomez founded the business during lockdown. It grew from home deliveries into a commercial kitchen before attracting daily queues at its Dalston bricks-and-mortar store.
The winning Classic bagel combines smoked salmon, cream cheese, sliced red onion, tomatoes and capers.
Reading burger restaurant 7Bone’s Dirty Meal Deal was the UK’s second-most popular order last year, followed by the Ultimate Combo from London sandwich shop Crunch.
The previous Top 10 also included products beyond takeaway meals. Jason’s Sourdough bread from Morrisons in Manchester ranked fourth, while blueberries from Co-op in London took ninth place.
The annual report tracks the most popular and fastest-growing delivery trends across Deliveroo’s international markets, including the UK.
Deliveroo vice president of regional growth Jeff Wemyss said: ‘This year the world has been ordering protein-rich dishes on Deliveroo, with chicken featuring in more than 20 of the top 100 most trending items.
‘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.’
