Whether it’s a cheeky burger or a healthy Poké Bowl, it’s safe to say that Britons love a takeaway.
Now, Deliveroo has lifted the lid on our ordering habits.
The online food delivery company has unveiled the top 30 trending dishes on its UK platform this year.
The list includes some fairly predictable dishes, including pizzas, chicken wings, and cheeseburgers.
However, it also includes some rather unexpected items, including a whole cucumber, protein bars, and unpasteurised kimchi.
‘Customers are seizing every moment to explore new dishes and cuisines and dive into the latest food trends,’ Deliveroo said.
‘From chocolate bars to chicken wings and super salads, this year’s list features a mix of global takeaway favourites, trending dishes, and grocery essentials.
‘While familiar dishes and cuisines make a return, the 2024 list welcomes plenty of newcomers, including white wine, coffee, desserts, burritos, and a variety of sandwiches.’
In the UK, it appears that Britons are wild for wings, with the 8-piece boneless from Wingstop in London taking the top spot

This was closely followed by two salads in London – the SP Caesar from The Salad Project, and Seiz’a Caesar + Blackened Chicken from atis.
Deliveroo users in Glasgow were enamoured with the Pepperoni Pizza from Frank’s Pizza, which was fifth on the list.
Over in Birmingham, however, it was the Bananas from Sainsbury’s that really got users excited.
Belfast users enjoyed the Burrito Bowl from Boojum, while users in Brighton loved ordering Protein Bars from Morrisons.
In Manchester, it was the Burgerism Meal from Burgerism that topped the list, followed by the Haaland Schiacciata from the locally run Ad Maiora.
‘Its Italian sandwich, “Haaland Schiacciata,” is dedicated to a certain local footballer,’ Deliveroo explained.
‘It has a cult following of sandwich fans, including several professional Manchester football players, and boasts a 4.8-star Deliveroo rating and rave customer reviews exclaiming, “Believe the hype!”.
