The nuts
Every bag is made the same way: cooked in the copper kettle and scooped into a paper cone while they're hot. Delicious hot or cold.
Look out for our luxury fudge too, made with cream and butter.
How it's made
Into the copper kettle
The nuts and the glaze go in together. The smell carries right down the street.
Cooked and glazed while you watch
We cook right at the counter, so you can see exactly what goes in. Ask for a free sample.
Straight into a paper cone
Hot, sweet and crunchy. One bag is £2, three are £5.
A family business, and a family recipe
Nutty But Nice is a family run business from Swansea, run by Dave Davies. For over 25 years we've been cooking hot roasted nuts at Christmas markets, on high streets and at shows across South Wales.
The recipe has been passed down the family. Our carts' copper bowl spreads the heat evenly and quickly, so the sugar wraps each nut in a crunchy, sweet shell.
Swansea has had our stall in its Christmas market for well over 20 years, and our usual Cardiff spot is Working Street.
Out and about
Christmas markets, high streets and the big shows. Tap a photo to see it bigger.

Found these nuts at Christmas market in Cardiff! There lush! Hopefully I'll be in touch soon to buy a large pack or box rather than the small paper ones! Great nuts!
