I didn’t rush into buying my Charlie…

I didn’t rush into buying my Charlie and had a LOT of questions that Tara responded to promptly and knowledgeably. Delivery was fantastic with superb help at my end as it’s a heavy item.
I’m still finding my way around it but could not be more pleased with the build quality and the food I’m producing is off the chart with flavour. Check out all the videos online for info and recipes.
Obviously it’s a big purchase but if you are hesitating taking the plunge then I would urge you to go for it. Take your outdoor cooking life to the absolute next level and fully expecting to give my indoor cooker a rest for every dry day we get.
The Charlie Oven is the best thing I’ve ever bought for myself and I know I’m going to using it for years to come.

Charlie Oven’s are ace!

From start to finish Tara and the team were on top of the entire journey. Giving meaningful updates throughout the entire experience. The arrival of my Charlie definitely has influenced the cooking, often meaning that all of my guest have different jobs to do, making more of an event for dinner meets!

We had such a fun time

We had such a fun time, and learnt lots of tips from Andrew. Owning a Charlie is to be a member of a special community of outdoor cooks, sharing recipes and ideas and meeting up. Long may it continue. Thank you Tara and Neil. You are amazing!

A brilliant weekend

A brilliant weekend. Thanks to all involved. Andrew is a superb chef but is also inspiring. It will help us be more adventurous with our Charlie cooking. Venue and hospitality all great. We would certainly go to another Charlie masterclass. Rosemary and David

This oven is awesome

This oven is awesome. Far better than the one I have in my kitchen. Very versatile, holds its temperature for a long time, has a great capacity and looks brilliant (I have the orange one).
Most definitely cooking my Christmas turkey in the Charlie this year.

Charlie’s world class…

We may struggle with the Irish weather & outdoor cooking may be somewhat of a challenge but no more…. meet my new best friend Charlie, Charlie is the newest member of our outdoor kitchen and has left our green egg & pizza oven in the dust.
Temperature control is pure class, steaks, pizza, full Irish breakfast, there’s literally nothing Charlie cant do. I haven’t used my indoor ovens since his arrival.
Very excited for all our future culinary collab👌

Go to a Masterclass!

Went to the masterclass with Matt Burgess, had an excellent day from start to finish. Picked up lots of tips and have implemented them to great success at home. Tara is a fabulous host and the Charlie Oven is a really worthwhile purchase!

What an amazing oven

What an amazing oven, we are having the very best time cooking with big family gatherings. Everybody is impressed and the food is another level. It's easy to use, you cook large quantities of food at once, and so many options. We have cooked joints, veg, fish, cakes you name it we have cracked it.

Well worth the investment!

It's taken a while to put this review up - but I wanted to get over the initial excitement of owning one to really see how I got on with cooking with it before writing a review.

After 3 months I'm still so VERY HAPPY with my Charlie Oven! Since I first discovered it searching for an orange 'BBQ' I knew I would end up with one - Since it's turned up I haven't been disappointed! Customer Service from Tara and Neil is absolutely outstanding, plus the look of the oven and the impression it makes is second to none... and then there's the cooking!

I bought into the Charlie Oven experience as more of a lifestyle change rather than just buying an outdoor cooking product. I wanted something that got me thinking more about food, prep and the ingredients/products that were going into dishes I was cooking. I basically bought into more of a social food experience lifestyle - and it's turned out to be that and more. ABSOLUTELY worth the investment in my eyes.

Steaks and meat joints have been wowing friends and family; I've prepped for a gorgeous lamb & veg curry; Pizzas were so tasty (batch of 25 for a party of teenagers went down well!); Beer-can chicken was falling off the bone; Full Breakfast - Amazing start to the day!; Fish, tiger prawns and veg all turn out with a bit of a wow factor... and there's still more recipes and foods to try - Bread and smoking next on the endless list!

The size of it too, makes it easy to cater for a few dishes, considering we live in a mixed vegetarian, Pescatarian and meat eating household - that comes in very handy!

..and if you get fully involved, the masterclass at Neil and Tara's was a GREAT experience.

The love and care they've put into this product (and aftersales!), in both how it functions AND how it looks is a case study in craftsmanship, brand and integrity. Thank you both!

Loving it

Slight confusion with delivery dates but soon sorted by Tara and the oven arrived safely.

Was worried about the length of our drive but the delivery driver was really helpful and even brought it right on to the patio for us.

Still learning how to use the oven to full effect but so far multiple pizzas, a 12-hour brisket and cold-smoked mackeral have all proved a hit (and easy to do)!

Thanks for reviewing us. Wow! Talk about starting strong with cooking in so many ways, from hot baking pizzas to low'n'slow brisket to cold smoking. Impressive, especially in such a short space of time!!!
