As long as we are within the EU, that's not an issue. After Brexit, anything is possible although you may have to thank the Irish for making it likely that the UK phyto-sanitary rules remain aligned to EU ones, so that the free movement of squash and other vegetables may survive.

I don’t actually know why, I am on a stag do and the best man has assigned me the job of bringing one along with us, amongst other things, I assume the reason for bringing it will be revealed over the course of the weekend, much to the horror of the unfortunate stag...
Please post a trip report.

I thought many borders had issues with bringing in fresh produce. However am speaking from a position of relative ignorance as I don't remember ever trying it. Brought some vacuum sealed Jamon back from Spain once, but as it was vacuum sealed I don't recall even declaring it...
There is not a complete freedom to transport fruit, vegetables and meat within the EU.
Some example rules:

As someone always bringing fruit and veg back from many of my trips, I'm intrigued in the concept of people taking fruit and veg from home to their destination!

Now let us all bow our heads and take a moment to reflect on the life of 'Billy Butters' who tragically lost his life in Munich the weekend of 15th June 2018.
