Since 2013, this beloved dessert has been a cornerstone of All Things Delicious, holding pride of place as one of our most cherished and enduring best-sellers at 34 Arab Street. A true icon of our heritage, this pudding embodies everything we stand for: quality, care, and the irresistible charm of a dessert crafted to perfection.

Quintessentially British (though some argue it could be Canadian—the origin is delightfully disputed!), this pudding is lovingly known as Sticky Date Pudding in Australia and New Zealand. Whatever you call it, there’s no denying this: it’s one of the most delicious desserts ever invented! Totally succulent and decadent, yet never cloying, it’s a masterpiece of balance and flavour.

The star of the show? A tender, delicate sponge enriched with hand-chopped dates, slow-cooked to creamy perfection by our chefs to coax out their honeyed richness and subtle notes of browned butter and caramel. These dates, revered for their luxurious flavour, form the soul of this dessert, creating a depth and sophistication that lingers long after the last bite.

At our restaurant, you can opt to serve this pudding with a scoop of our house-made vanilla bean ice cream for pure, unadulterated indulgence. It may not be flashy in looks, but its unassuming appearance hides the ultimate indulgence: a dessert that’s as comforting as it is unforgettable. And, of course, it comes with a tub of our made-from-scratch toffee sauce—or butterscotch if you prefer—that will have you and your guests asking for more. One bite, and you’ll understand why this pudding has been part of our story for over a decade. Trust us—you won’t regret it. Ever!
