Before anything goes on the heat: snip the fatty edge of each bacon slice, trim the mushroom stalks level with the caps, halve the tomatoes and cut out the green core, and peel the skin off the black pudding and slice it. Heat the oven to 200°F with the plates and a baking sheet inside to keep things warm.
