Meet Bertha - From Michelin Stars to Backyard Feasts

Born in Britain and fired up around the world, the BERTHA Charcoal Oven has been changing the game in live-fire cooking since 2013. First launched to the restaurant industry, Bertha quickly earned its place in professional kitchens from Britain to Bahrain and beyond - endorsed by Michelin-star chefs and celebrated by food critics for its unbeatable flavour and performance.

Built as a professional outdoor charcoal oven, Bertha is compact, powerful, and designed to revolutionise the way food is cooked - infusing every dish with bold, smoky depth.

In 2018, Bertha brought that same power home, launching a vibrant, colourful range for everyday cooks and weekend grill warriors.

Introducing  Bertha The Future of Charcoal Cooking

Introducing Bertha The Future of Charcoal Cooking

At Bertha, we're not just keeping up - we're leading the fire-forward evolution of charcoal cooking.

In 2019, we expanded our passion for flame and flavour with the launch of Kasai, our British-made take on the traditional Japanese Konro Grill. These lined box grills, inspired by centuries of Japanese grilling mastery, have quickly become a cult favourite among chefs. Using Binchotan charcoal, they deliver an experience like no other: when fat and juices hit the coals, a flavour-rich cloud envelops the food, creating a beautifully even sear with a subtle kiss of smoke - without the bitterness or flare-ups of standard grills.

In 2022, we introduced the INKA Edition - a new generation of British-made charcoal ovens that combine sleek design with unmatched performance. Crafted in our own UK factory, the INKA Edition brings together exceptional build quality, precise temperature control, and striking design to offer chefs a powerful new way to elevate their menus. It’s the most aspirational, high-performing charcoal oven on the professional market - designed to impress, built to endure.
