How it began

Jon & Jax started Cracking Nuts in 2014, from a life-long passion for nuts and real unprocessed foods. In our first summer, we secured a pitch on Marine Drive above Woolacombe Beach. From our little trailer, we served up freshly roasted hot nuts with coffee and ice creams to hungry surfers, whilst enjoying the sea breeze and breath-taking views.

ON TO GLASTONBURY

Boyd by the positive reaction we received, we decided to take our nuts on the road, to various festivals around the South West including Glastonbury & River Cottage Food Festival.
If you're lucky enough to get a ticket to Glastonbury please come and find us in the Theatre / Circus area.

CRACKING NUTS HQ

In November 2017 we launched our dedicated new (5 Star Hygiene Rated) dedicated nut roasting facility in the heart of Ilfracombe, with views over the picturesque harbour.

ALL Our Nuts ARE Freshly Roasted with all-natural ingredients

Quality is at the heart of everything we do. We start with the finest, premium-grade nuts, carefully selected for their exceptional flavour and freshness. Every ingredient we use is 100% all-natural—no artificial flavours, preservatives, or shortcuts. Just real, wholesome goodness that you can taste in every bite. Our nuts are roasted in small batches to bring out their rich, golden flavour and perfect crunch. This artisanal approach lets us maintain the highest standards and ensure every batch gets the attention it deserves. Most of our nuts are roasted gluten-free, making them a delicious option for those with dietary restrictions or anyone simply looking for a clean, honest snack. Whether you're treating yourself or someone else, you’ll taste the difference that care, quality, and craftsmanship make.
