Overview

  • Clara Jennings, a 29-year-old from Guildford, surprised fellow attendees on July 3 by dipping her Wimbledon strawberries in Domino’s Garlic & Herb Dip instead of traditional cream.
  • Spectators offered mixed reactions to the sweet-and-savoury combination, with some expressing delight and others calling it unpalatable while a few even asked for a taste.
  • Wimbledon serves over 1.9 million strawberries drizzled with more than 7,000 litres of cream each year and now also offers a vegan cream alternative to cater to changing dietary preferences.
  • Organisers implemented a 20p price increase this year, raising the cost of strawberries and cream to £2.70 per portion after 15 years at £2.50, in line with efforts to balance value and rising costs.
  • A Domino’s spokesperson said the fan’s use of their Garlic & Herb Dip was unprecedented and suggested it could encourage further food experiments among tennis fans.
