Product Description
The Roller Grill CDG 400 is a double-plate gas crepe machine built for commercial and mobile catering use. It has two cast iron cooking plates, each independently controlled, allowing an operator to manage two crepes at once or run each plate at a different temperature — useful when serving both sweet and savoury products during the same service period.
In a busy service environment, the dual-plate format makes a practical difference to throughput. One plate can be held at temperature while the other is in active use, reducing idle time during peak demand. Cast iron retains and distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, which matters for consistency — uneven heat is one of the more common causes of poor results in a production setting. The hard-enamelled, non-stick surface supports faster turnaround between portions and simplifies cleaning at the end of service.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Two independently controlled plates for flexible, simultaneous service management
- Even heat distribution from cast iron construction for consistent cooking results
- Hard-enamelled non-stick surface — durable under sustained daily use
- Gas operation suits mobile and outdoor setups without reliance on mains electricity
- Compact footprint relative to output, useful where counter or service space is limited
As a gas appliance, the CDG 400 requires a suitable LPG or natural gas connection. Burner configuration differs between gas types, so it is important to confirm which supply you are working with before ordering. The unit is well suited to mobile catering trailers, market stalls, and event catering where a reliable mains electricity supply cannot be guaranteed. It is equally at home in a fixed café or restaurant setting adding crepes to an existing menu. Operators running very high continuous volumes — a dedicated crepe concession at a large venue, for example — may find a larger-format unit better matched to demand.
The CDG 400 is a sound choice for mobile caterers, café kitchens expanding their offering, and event catering businesses where live cooking adds theatre to the customer experience. If you are weighing up single versus double plate, or want to discuss gas supply compatibility for your setup, the team is glad to help you work through it before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The CDG 400 is available in configurations for either LPG or natural gas, but the burner setup differs between the two. Confirm which gas type is available at your site before ordering, as this cannot easily be changed after purchase. If you are unsure, the team can help you identify the correct version.
- For operators serving crepes as a secondary menu item during normal café or restaurant service, a single-plate machine is often adequate. The double-plate format becomes worthwhile when crepes are a primary or high-volume offering, or when you need to run sweet and savoury products at different temperatures simultaneously. If your expected throughput is on the borderline, it is worth talking through your service pattern before deciding.
- Yes — while the gas operation makes it particularly well suited to mobile catering trailers and outdoor events, it is equally practical in a fixed café or restaurant kitchen with a permanent gas supply. Ensure the installation location has adequate ventilation and that the gas connection is made by a registered engineer.
