After coveting a Charlie oven for over a year, we finally made the decision on the colour (all so gorgeous) and took delivery in July 2024. It's the best thing we have ever bought and such a conversa... See more

We are a British company making outdoor ovens and modular outdoor kitchens, hand-built to last and designed to make live-fire cooking easy at home. The Charlie Oven does the work of four pieces of kit in one. BBQ grill, smoker, charcoal oven and pizza oven. It runs on lump charcoal placed straight onto the fire grates, so you cook over real fire from the moment it is lit. The design comes from the charcoal ovens professional kitchens rely on, which gives the food its flavour while keeping fuel use low. One load goes a long way across a full day of cooking. From the same oven you can turn out pizza, slow-smoked brisket, roasts, flatbreads and everyday grilling. When you want a full setup, we build modular outdoor kitchens so Charlie sits alongside matching cabinets and worktops, designed around your garden. Everything is hand-built in Britain to be used all year round, in any weather. Named Good Housekeeping Best Outdoor Oven 2024.

We ordered our Charlie Oven in late 2022 and, despite our lack of side or rear garden access (and some less than ideal front entrance steps), arrangements were duly made to get our order successfully delivered to us in time for a planned family seafood feast on New Year’s Eve.
Since then we’ve cooked everything from huge steaks to shakshuka eggs to sourdough pizza to 12-hour smoked brisket. Everything tastes better over charcoal, and everything can fit inside the Charlie Oven.
It’s also a design statement that looks fantastic in any garden, while the food speaks for itself. Most importantly, it makes fire cooking easy and fun. Friends and neighbours have been most impressed!
Tara and Neil are a pleasure to deal with and gave us tips in the beginning to get us off to a good start. We’ve also attended one of their chef masterclasses since then, which was excellent.
All in all, we would have no hesitation in recommending the company or the product, and hope to continue using our Charlie Oven for many years to come.
Next stop: roast turkey with all the trimmings for 12-odd people this Christmas!

Tara and Neil are excellent - efficient, knowledgeable and helpful. The Charlie Oven has taken over all of my oven requirements - my electric oven is now an expensive cupboard! Haven't used it for over a year since I had my Charlie delivered.

Fab charcoal oven
Easy to use, efficient, cooks really tasty food.
Over past year my husband uses it almost every week... heavy rain the only real deterrent.
Recommend battery operated looftlighter to light charcoal

Everything from the initial contact and purchase process at Cheltenham food festival in 2022 to the after sales service has been great. We use our Charlie 2 to 3 times per week and couldn’t be more happy, probably one of the best purchases we’ve ever made in our lives

My Charlie Oven is excellent. A big step on from the Green Egg I’d had for years. More usable space… steak, jacket potatoes, chilli, long slow cooked brisket, pulled pork/beef, prawns, Christmas dinner, best roast potatoes…all easy. Different cooking heights with the shelves and the plancha is great for cooking a breakfast. Really solid, easy to clean and looks great. Tara and Neil have been really helpful and great communication

The product is very good, and once you get used to it, cooks very well and cooks a wide variety of different types, from slow cook to flash fry and all in between.
we are living in a static caravan whilst our home is built, Charlie increases our cooking capacity and variety considerably

Outstanding customer service backing up a very good product!
It’s clearly built to last with a good range of accessories and with more and more recipes /top tips getting released it’s a joy

We bought our Charlie a few years ago now… it is by far other than our house…one of the best purchases we have ever made. We use it most weekends and all year round. We’ve cooked Christmas dinner in it! Breakfast in it! Pizzas! Our slow cooked lamb is divine in it! It’s a big wallet denting purchase but worth every single penny… and you get Neil & Tara thrown in which is a bonus! Always there to help… can’t recommend Charlie enough. 👍👍👍
