We bought our Charlie Oven in Marlin after seeing it at Meatopia a couple of years ago. It's a fantastic piece of equipment and much loved in our house. To be honest, it's exceeded our expectations and our Kamado Joe and full size pizza oven have become redundant.

The Charlie is well made and solid. Comes in a variety of stunning colours. Ours has castors and we love that we can move it around - entertainment / patio area during the spring and summer, then near our kitchen during autumn and winter.

We mostly BBQ on ours - but I have used the residual heat to make stews and curries too.

Tara and Neil are really nice people too. They are always a pleasure to deal with and are available to ask questions or get advice.

Charlie is a luxury item but we feel it's been worth it.

We cannot recommend both the Charlie and the company enough. You won't be sorry.

Great delivery service, fantastic charcoal oven. Great capacity and so versatile. Holds temperature wonderfully with very little charcoal and it looks absolutely stunning in our garden kitchen.

We are really pleased with our Charlie oven (and our recent addition of the kitchen island unit) and have used it loads, especially for steak, and pizzas. It’s really versatile and as the Charlie community grows, more and more recipe ideas appear on the website. I can also recommend the cooking classes. Buy one, you won’t regret it.

The Charlie oven masterclass was set in an idyllic location on the west side of London, easy to reach with free parking and good public transport links mean even those who don’t drive can make it.

We were welcomed in to Charlie HQ, offered a tea or cofee and the day got underway quickly, everyone was welcoming and there was an exciting tension in the room as Chef Andrew Clarke and the Charlie team finished the last bits of prep and gave us all an apron to wear which got us in to the mindset of Chefs!

We spent the day learning how to light the charcoal oven, set the temperature and keep it fuelled whilst preparing, cooking and discussing the beautiful flavour the Charlie oven is able to draw from the most basic of ingredients. Andrew supported us in combining them all together to create a fantastic multi-dish meal which we all sat down banquet style and shared.

Throughout the day there were soft drinks, alcoholic beverages and teas and coffees free flowing, a nice snack of baked Camembert and freshly baked bread tied us over until dinner was served.

It was a great experience and well worth the time, value for money was incredible and I came away with a full mind and a full belly! Thanks for hosting Tara and Neil!

Beautifully made and versatile outdoor ovens that really do it all. Great fun to use and, importantly, produces the most wonderfully cooked food. We purchased ours 12 months ago and are delighted with it. Great customer service experience too.

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!

The best purchase ever, Tara and Neil were very helpful and Charlie Oven has been brilliant addition to our family, we have had so much fun cooking and trying new things. Thank you.

Fabulous product, and great service. Always the talk of any outdoor gatherings.

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

all good !!!!!

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. 👍👍👍

Sent to Holland. Fast and good contact and friendly. Problem solving, in short, very satisfied. And of course a beautiful product.
