In stock. Shipped within the UK, typically 3–5 working days. Backed by a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Built for souvla, not adapted for it
Most charcoal barbecues in the UK are designed around a grill grate. A souvla is a different job: a long skewer, turning slowly, low over embers, for two or three hours. Bolt a rotisserie kit onto a kettle barbecue and you get a motor fighting a lid it was never meant to carry. The Rozza is built the other way round — the spit is the point, and the charcoal bed runs the full 860 mm length of the machine underneath it.
Full-length skewers
Two sheet steel skewers with oak handles come in the box, long enough for a proper souvla of layered pork, chicken thigh or lamb.
The rest of the table
Halloumi, peppers, mushrooms and flatbread all cook on the same coals while the souvla turns. The grill bed is not blocked by the spit.
Sits on a table
At 860 mm long and 492 mm high it goes on a garden table or its own stand, so the food is at eye level where you can baste it.
How it works
-
Load the skewer
Layer the meat along the skewer and lock it between the oak-handled forks.
-
Light the charcoal
A charcoal bed under the full length of the spit — no gas, no briquette trays.
-
Set the height
Drop the spit low to seal, raise it as the coals settle. Heat is controlled by distance, not guesswork.
-
Let it turn
The motor rotates continuously, so the meat bastes in its own fat instead of drying on one side.

Cypriot BBQ, Greek BBQ, foukou — the same machine
People come to this looking for different words, because the thing itself has several. They almost all describe one setup: a long charcoal trough with a spit turning above it.
- Cypriot BBQ UK · Cyprus BBQ UK
- The charcoal trough and turning spit, as it is cooked in Cyprus. That is what this is.
- Greek BBQ · Greek rotisserie BBQ
- The same machine under its Greek name, usually with the motor made explicit.
- Foukou
- The traditional Cypriot version. The Rozza is not a copy of one — it is a British-built machine that does the same job.
- Cypriot rotisserie · souvla machine · souvla grill
- Named after the motor or after what goes on the skewer. Same product either way.
So if you have been searching for a greek cypriot bbq for sale or a souvla bbq for sale, there is no separate model to find: this is it. £549, in stock, shipped within the UK.
Common questions
Is this a real souvla machine or a rotisserie with a Greek name on it?
It is a charcoal spit roaster built around a long skewer and a continuous motor, which is what a souvla or foukou needs. It is made in the UK rather than in Cyprus, and it is not a copy of a traditional foukou – the charcoal tray, the adjustable height and the sheet steel skewers are its own design.
How long a souvla will it take?
The machine is 860 mm long overall, and the two skewers supplied run its full cooking width. That is sized for a family souvla – layered pork or chicken, a shoulder of lamb, a porchetta – rather than for a whole lamb.
Can I cook Cypriot foukou-style over the same coals?
Yes. The charcoal bed sits under the whole length of the spit, so you can run a souvla on the skewer and cook halloumi, peppers or sheftalia alongside it.
Does it need electricity in the garden?
No. The motor runs on 2 x D batteries or from a USB lead, so it works anywhere you can put the machine down. Batteries are not included.
Do you deliver to Cyprus or Greece?
Not at the moment. Rozza currently ships within the United Kingdom only, typically in 3–5 working days.
