The Domino’s Garlic & Herb Dip has developed a real legion of lovers over the years and they’re known to be very vocal about it too.
We’re talking the – Facebook fan pages, change.org petitions to start selling bottles of the dip in supermarkets, and even calls for it to have it’s own national day of celebration – level of vocal.
As far as condiments go, it’s safe to say this one’s pretty iconic.
There’s plenty of other garlic dips on the market and range of alternative sauces to choose from as well, but as most Domino’s fans will tell you, they will never come come close to the masterpiece that is the garlic & herb dip.
Before Domino’s began selling ‘big dip’ tubs of the garlic and herb sauce for an extra couple of quid, fans had to make do with just the single small pot that came accompanying a pizza, but it was never enough to go around. This lead many to having a crack at recreating it for themselves, but they always struggled to live up to expectations.

That is, until now.
Some genius has discovered a way to recreate the Garlic & Herb Dip recipe and according to people in the comments, it’s about as good as you’re going to get. TikTok user @daddydinners posted the dupe recipe on the video-sharing platform, amassing over 200K views in the process, and it doesn’t look too tricky to have a stab at yourself.
Considering it was shockingly revealed a couple of years back that the big dip tub of the Domino’s Garlic & Herb Dip has a total of 700 calories in it, this one definitely seems a much healthier option too.
Fancy making it yourself then? Here’s everything you’ll need:
Ingredients

½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
1tsp oregano
1tbsp white wine vinegar
½ tsp garlic puree
Pinch of salt
Pinch of sugar
Then once you’ve got all your ingredients, just mix them all together and chill the dip in the fridge for a good couple of hours so that all the ingredients marry together nicely.
It’s as simple us that.

Peter Kay adds MORE hometown charity gigs in aid of Bolton Hospice
Danny Jones
Local comedy icon Peter Kay has added even more homecoming charity gigs, adding some extra shows at the historic Albert Halls.
You can guarantee these tickets will be snapped up quicker than you can say garlic bread.
Performing on behalf of his hometown’s Bolton Hospice, the Lancashire legend and stand-up veteran might be winding down his hugely successful career on stage, but not before raising as much money for charity as possible.
Confirmed on Monday, 13 July, a further four ‘Peter Kay: Better Late Than Never (Again!)’ dates have been tacked on the regional tour run – but there’s a catch.
Yes, in case you missed the initial announcement back in April, the 53-year-old from Farnworth is only catering to his native Boltonians.
With seats being made exclusive to those with specific postcodes only – after all, his previous record-breaking tour saw people all over the country treated to plenty of dates – this latest update gives them even more of a chance of getting tickets.
Speaking ahead of the sets scheduled for early next year, Peter says, “There was such a big demand for tickets for the shows that I really want to do more and give the people who missed out the chance to come along.”
If you want to check if you’re eligible to grab one, you can read more down below.
The Phoenix Nights and Max and Paddy creator goes on to add: “I’m putting on four more shows in the New Year and playing at the weekend means I can also perform matinees, as well as evening shows and increase funds for the hospice, which is what it’s all about.”
Kay has already raised huge sums for various charities throughout his career, and with all proceeds from these upcoming performances going to the organisation, these funds can make such a difference in so many lives.
Adding matinee and evening slots on Saturday and Sunday, 9-10 January 2027 (3:30 and 7:30pm), respectively, the quartet of additional comedy shows go on sale at 10am this Friday, 17 July.
A Wigan dad is searching for the ‘hero’ who helped calm his son’s panic attack while on a busy train

A former rugby player from Wigan is searching for the ‘hero’ who came to his son’s aid when he was having a panic attack on a busy train.
Shaun Ainscough – a former rugby player who played for Wigan Warriors at the start of his career from 2009-10 – was on a packed train home from the match between his former team and St Helens at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday 5 July when his son started having a panic attack.
The 11-year-old boy was crying, screaming, shaking, taking his clothes off, and begging to get off the hot train carriage that was full of people travelling home from the match.
“All the fans [on the train] were singing and we were having a laugh, although because we were all stood up, we literally couldn’t sit anywhere,” Shaun explained to the BBC in an interview.
Shaun says he then became overwhelmed with emotion himself as he saw his son in distress, to the point where he also started crying.
But then, a woman – whose name is still unknown – came to the rescue and spent the entire rest of the journey trying to calm the boy, reassuring him with words and using a handheld fan to calm him down.
Shaun has since put out a post on social media – which has been seen by thousands of people – asking for the woman to come forward, as the pair are desperate to thank her in person and ‘give her some flowers’.
“It might not have seemed like a big deal to her but the small act was massive and we just want to say thank you,” Shaun explained.
“She could read something over text, but in person means so much more, and maybe we could give her some flowers just to show how much we appreciated her that day.”
He concluded: “This hero came over and ended up being the strongest person on the train.”
