Spit roasting apparatus for the spit roasting of roastable foodstuffs, the apparatus comprising a rotatably supported water wheel for rotatably driving a spit member for supporting roastable foodstuffs to be roasted, the water wheel having a plurality of water-receiving trough formations at spaced intervals along its periphery for receiving water to drive the water wheel. The apparatus includes water feed means for feeding water to the wheel during use, control means for controlling the rate of supply of water to the wheel, and compensating means for compensating for eccentricity in the mass distribution of roastable foodstuff supported on a spit member coupled to water wheel, the compensating means comprising a plurality of compensating buckets which are associated with at least some of the trough formations to receive and store overflow from these trough formations.
