At Hog Roast Torbay, we’re all about creating unforgettable event catering experiences, from the very first bite to the very last. And while our hog roasts often take centre stage, there’s one dessert that regularly steals the spotlight: Rik’s homemade sticky toffee pudding.
Yes, you read that right Catering Manager Rik doesn’t just run the show, he rolls up his sleeves and bakes this incredible dessert from scratch. It’s not a tray from the supermarket or something pre-packed. It’s proper, homemade sticky toffee pudding, and it’s absolutely heavenly.
The process starts in the kitchen with chopped dates soaked until soft, before being folded into a rich sponge batter. Rik bakes each pudding to perfection moist, fluffy, and golden before preparing his signature toffee sauce. Made with butter, brown sugar and cream, it’s slowly simmered until it reaches the perfect silky consistency and deep caramel flavour. Once everything comes together, the sponge soaks up that warm sauce like a dream. The smell alone is enough to stop guests in their tracks.
What makes this even more impressive is that it’s rare these days to find caterers who take the time to make desserts like this by hand but that’s what sets Hog Roast Torbay apart. Rik’s sticky toffee pudding isn’t just a dessert; it’s a proper homemade finish to your event that feels personal, indulgent, and totally delicious.
Guests are always surprised to learn it was baked from scratch that very morning. There’s something special about knowing your dessert was made with care not just served. And when it’s plated up warm with custard, cream, or ice cream? That’s the kind of finish people remember.At Hog Roast Torbay, we don’t cut corners. From mouth-watering slow-roasted meats to Rik’s homemade desserts, everything we serve is made with passion and pride. Because every event deserves a sweet ending that tastes as good as it feels.
