Public places to cook a meal with a portable stove in the UK

I'm traveling to the UK soon and I'm traveling by car and staying in B&Bs and Inns. I'm planning to use a portable gas stove to prepare some of my meals and bring everything required to cook with me, ie the stove, the pots/pans, water, ingredients, cutlery, plates, dishwashing equipment, table, chairs, etc.

However I was wondering if cooking in a public place is actually allowed and if there are any restrictions. Especially with the current heatwave there may be restrictions. The stove I'm planning to use is similar to the 'Campingaz base camp'.

A second question would be if there are specially designed places to for cooking on the road. I believe truck drivers sometimes prepare their own meals as well.
