Roller Grill 400 CFG LPG Gas Crêpe Machine
£538.00(£645.60 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Roller Grill 400 CFG is a gas-fired crêpe machine running on LPG, built around a 400mm diameter cast iron cooking plate. It requires no electrical connection, making it genuinely portable for settings where a mains supply is unavailable or impractical. The machine handles crêpes, pancakes, blinis, and similar thin batters across a range of catering environments.
Cast iron distributes and retains heat evenly across the cooking surface, which reduces hot spots and helps maintain consistent browning without tearing. The plate is hard enamelled and treated to resist sticking — important when working quickly with thin batters during a busy service window. Because heat recovery is steady rather than rapid, this machine suits moderate throughput comfortably, though operators running a dedicated crêpe counter at high volume all day may find it limiting at this plate size and power level.
In practice, the 400 CFG is well suited to:
- Mobile catering units, food trucks, and market stalls
- Café and restaurant dessert or theatre-cooking stations
- Event catering, pop-ups, and hospitality activations
- Schools, leisure sites, and community kitchens with occasional crêpe service
Because it runs on LPG, an appropriate gas cylinder, regulator, and compatible hose must be in place before use. The machine should always be operated in a well-ventilated area, and any semi-permanent installation within a commercial kitchen should be reviewed against local gas safety regulations. It is not suitable for use in enclosed spaces without adequate ventilation.
If you are weighing this model against a larger plate size, an electric alternative, or simply want to talk through expected output for your service, we are happy to help you work it out before you order.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 400 CFG suitable for a busy crêpe counter running all day?
At this plate size and power level, the 400 CFG is better suited to moderate throughput — a live dessert station, a market stall, or event catering rather than a dedicated high-volume crêpe counter in continuous service. If you are expecting sustained demand across a full day's trade, a larger plate or a heavier-duty model is likely to serve you better, and we can help you assess that.
What do I need to set up and use this machine safely?
You will need a compatible LPG cylinder, a suitable regulator, and an appropriate gas hose before the machine can be used. It must always be operated in a well-ventilated area, and any semi-permanent installation in a commercial kitchen should be checked against local gas safety regulations — your gas engineer can advise on this during installation.
Can this machine be used indoors at a restaurant or café?
Yes, provided there is adequate ventilation — LPG combustion requires a proper air supply and safe exhaust of combustion gases, so an enclosed or poorly ventilated space is not suitable. Many operators use this machine as a front-of-house theatre station with good effect, but ventilation requirements should be confirmed before positioning it in any fixed indoor location.
