Londoners might be surprised to discover that Deliveroo's most delivered item of 2026 was not a pizza, burger or takeaway meal – but a humble bag of ice cubes.
The Premium 2kg Ice Cubes from Iceland, delivered in London and across the UK, topped Deliveroo’s annual Deliveroo 100 list, marking the first time a grocery item has led the rankings.
Jeff Wemyss, vice president and general manager for Deliveroo UK and Ireland, said: "The UK’s hottest summer on record had us reaching for the ice and Brits did not mess about.
"A 2kg bag of ice is our top trending order in the UK, the first grocery item ever to top the list, with sorbet, mango slices and milkshakes close behind."
