cookhouse

Outdoor meal facility

A cookhouse is a building or room used for cooking, especially in a military camp, on a ranch, or at a remote work site.

The term suggests a separate structure dedicated to food preparation, distinct from where people sleep or work: The crew gathered at the cookhouse for breakfast before dawn.
