Firstly if you are in a caravan, don't overlook that there are a number of electrical demands that are going on in the 'background' that you probably don't think about, battery charger, fresh water pump, toilet flush, lights etc. They all add to your load on the EHU! They may be nominal 12v devices but they do draw on the charger/mains power unit. Probably best to allow a couple of amps at least (500W) for those so you don't push EHU breaker to tripping point.
EHUs are not universal in their capacity, most UK ones are 10A or 16A, but lesser ones do exist. Continental ones are often at the lower end of the range.
Below is the TOTAL load each EHU can supply.
6A EHU - 1.4kW (1400W)
8A EHU - 1.9kW (1900W)
10A EHU - 2.4kW (2400W)
16A EHU - 3.8kW (3800W)
You'd probably be OK using a a 2kW grill on a 10A EHU, but you are getting close to the limit if you use any other electrical drain at the same time. Biggest problem is that most electrical appliances are only nominally rated, so a 2kW grill could easily be drawing 2.1kW or so in reality.
Most appliances can be found in 'low power' versions aimed at the camping market, albeit usually at a higher price! Example: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?s=440107&v=3549&q=211961&r=62066=&p=https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/16012632/vango-scran-cooking-grill-xl-16012632
