Hi Mandy and welcome! It might be worth posting this as a new thread as your question will probably get lost in this thread.
Personally I use a single stove for breakfast, boiling the kettle etc. and a separate BBQ. You can get stoves like the Cadac which have various components for cooking with so you can bbq or use as a grill.. Another option maybe something like the Campingaz party grill. Yet another option used by Mucker (another UK Campsite member) is a traditional stove and griddle attachment but he is posh.
Hi, Mandy, it might be a good idea to start a new thread on this as mikegalagher and mcguire are larking about - in a good way mind you. You two, honestly!
If you don't, we have recently invested in a Halogen oven, does bacon and sausages a treat, but you'd have to do your eggs etc. in a more conventional way as above and of course you would need EHU (electrical hook up).

Oooh, we're in trouble. Again.
That's all your fault Mike, taking wine to France....I don't know. Most "normal" people bring it back! I bet Mucker takes wine to France (he's weird) mind you I bet he has wine vats in his garage or brews his own wonderfull blend....

You two can carry on as long as you want - it is very amusing - what's the saying "you can take the man out of the boy - but can never take the boy of the man" or something like that - and you two do like to play! p.s. not as stern as I sound!! Don't blame Mucker either!!
And, may I ask, what is wrong with home made wines and brews - made some great raspberry wine and always, but always make sloe gin - discovered shlider this year - just pop your old sloes (from gin) in a still cider then into demi-john - good stuff (still has some gin in sloes) and made lemon vodka, coffee vodka, toffee vodka, raspeberry vodka the list goes on and on - going to make cherry brandy before cherries are out of season.
And yup, we normally bring wine back from France - as much as there is room in the car - but....dare I say it........never took wine to France
Anyway, cheers to both of you!! Says me with a nice glass of red resting at my right hand!!!

I take the staples with us as a storecupboard, as I don't want to waste precious holiday time buying those (pasta, couscous, rice, herbs etc). I'd much rather mooch around looking at interesting cheeses, great veg and of course the wine section - although on holiday I realised I'd taken 'Herbes de Provence' to ... Provence. More coals to Newcastle
Tins of beans/chickpeas/lentils for a carbohydrate hit; Branston baked beans (my favourite) for those ironically-British morning fry-ups
Little foil pots of tomato puree, and good ole Tommy K.
Not that you need to do this, but maybe having a few meals in mind might help you to plan what to take and what to buy when there?
I guess it's also down to whether there are shops close by to where you're staying?
Have a wonderful time.
