Product Description
The Roller Grill CDG 400 is a double-plate gas crepe machine designed for commercial and mobile catering use. It has two cast iron cooking plates, each independently controlled, allowing an operator to run two crepes simultaneously or hold each plate at a different temperature — a practical arrangement when serving both sweet and savoury products within the same service period.
Cast iron is the traditional choice for crepe plates for good reason. It retains heat effectively and distributes it evenly across the cooking surface, which directly affects consistency. Uneven heat leads to uneven cooking, and in a live service environment that creates waste and slows throughput. The hard-enamelled non-stick surface supports faster turnaround between portions and makes end-of-service cleaning more straightforward than a bare metal alternative.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Two independently controlled plates for flexible simultaneous service management
- Even heat retention from cast iron construction, supporting consistent results
- Hard-enamelled non-stick surface — durable under sustained daily use
- Gas operation suits mobile and outdoor setups where mains electricity is unavailable
- Compact footprint relative to output, useful where counter space is limited
As a gas appliance, the CDG 400 requires either an LPG or natural gas supply. Burner configuration differs between the two, so it is important to confirm which supply is available at your site before ordering. The machine is well suited to mobile catering trailers, market stalls, and event catering where consistent mains power cannot be guaranteed. It works equally well in a fixed café or restaurant looking to add crepes to an existing menu. Operators running very high continuous volumes — a dedicated crepe concession at a large outdoor venue, for instance — may find a heavier-duty unit better matched to that level of demand.
The CDG 400 is a practical choice for mobile caterers, event catering businesses where live cooking adds to the customer experience, and café kitchens expanding their menu offer. If you are weighing up single versus double plate, or want to talk through gas supply compatibility for your particular setup, the team is happy to work through the details with you beforehand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, but the burner configuration differs between LPG and natural gas, so the unit needs to be specified for the correct supply type at the point of order. If you are unsure which connection is available at your site, it is worth confirming before purchasing to avoid the need for conversion work on arrival.
- For operators focusing on a single product type and serving relatively modest volumes, a single-plate machine may be adequate and more straightforward to manage. The double-plate format becomes genuinely useful when you need to serve sweet and savoury crepes at the same time, or when throughput during peak service would otherwise cause a bottleneck — live event catering and busy café services are the most common scenarios where the second plate earns its place.
- The hard-enamelled non-stick plates are reasonably easy to clean with a damp cloth once the unit has cooled, and residue tends not to bond as firmly as it can on uncoated surfaces. Allowing the plates to cool fully before cleaning will help preserve the surface over time and extend the working life of the coating.
