Christmas dinner in the caravan

We've only been away at Xmas twice in the MH a few years ago now, but for the 2 of us, both times did the same as at home, no problem.  Not a 6 course meal, mind you, just main course and desert.  I did wash up as I went along, whereas at home it's left until afterwards, just to keep as much clear space as possible in a smaller space, but that was the only difference.

This all seems rather last minute, Malcolm. I assume you have booked a pitch?

What equipment do you have at your disposal? It looks like it’ll be a good day for a BBQ.

Two eggs and oven chips add salt, vinegar and ketchup as desired.

Come on, it's Christmas.

What about some bacon ~ and brown sauce?

Malcolm, can you not order a "Christmas dinner" pizza?

Your'e right, sprinkle liberally with 'hundreds and thousands'

Buy a pre cooked Chicken, frozen veg, tub of ready to go gravy. Strip the Chook, boil the veg, warm the gravy heat the Bits of Chook you want first-eat & enjoy. Minimal work, minimal mess, maximum enjoyment for all, bosh, jobs a gud un.

Send out for a pizza, Malc!!

I regularly cook 'properly' in our motorhome and that includes roast potatoes, I'd happily tackle a traditional Christmas dinner.  I'd cook a turkey crown rather than the whole bird, roast potatoes, yorkshires can go in once the meat comes out to rest.  Veg as usual and pudding boiling slowly on the corner ring of the cooker.  Just needs a bit a planning and clearing as you go.  You've got time to plan ans shop it all still, then they'll be leftovers for Boxing Day, can't beat bubble and squeak with cold cuts   There is also plenty of the ready to go stuff available too so it's just heat it all up.  I'd even make my own stuffing can be done before the day.  Plenty of prep before the day and it's plain sailing.  Or as others have said it could be warm enough for a BBQ - not my idea of Christmas dinner even if I'm in the sun unnatural

I've done it a couple of times in the caravan.  I bought nice slices of cooked turkey off the bone but everything else was just as at home.

Being organised is important as space to work is tricky.  It was a bit like military manouvres.

We did roast potatoes, roast parsnips, creamed potatoes, carrots, sprouts, stuffing and gravy for main.  Christmas pudding and custard for dessert but no starter - except for sherry and then enjoyed a nice bottle of wine whilst cooking, followed by chilled bubbly with the meal.  

My caravan oven is extremely efficient and I used disposable foil trays for some of the items so there was a bit less washing up.

Alternative - pop to Tesco and buy a Bird's Eye ready meal roast turkey dinner.
