Does anyone travel regularly on the ferries between the UK and France? Do you get strip searched for bacon!
In the year of Foot and Mouth, they couldn't be bothered, but my caravan was searched for illegal immigrants in recent years, and it carries a normal quantity of essentials, beer, wine and bacon.
Secondly, with a quarter of the population of the UK and France having Covid, will the tribunes become a Petri dish. Should I buy a Hazmat suit now?
Finally - P&O, what a mess

Probably not but if you went via Holland yes - no Ham sandwiches allowed :'(
P&O is a proper cluster feck. I've spent the last few weeks trying to get clarity on if my Hull - Rotterdam would be running next week. As I am on the Pride of Hull it ran for a night then they pulled it........... So finally they have said I can have a refund. No refunds through covid just credits, go to use credit and now getting a refund and have a nice long drive to Germany yay :-\

You are probably ok on the way out, but don't forget the Duty Free limits on the way back, just 24 bottles of wine and 42 litres of beer per person, entering the EU the limit is just 16 litres of beer.
Note that if you get caught over the limits then you pay duty on the whole lot not just the excess.

Strangely the sister ship, Pride of Rotterdam is still running. It's Dutch owned but "managed" by P&O. Title: Re: This years big questions
