We use a Cabanon PN20 Utility tent for cooking duties, it's a Cotton Canvas gem, and takes up almost no room when packed, the steel poles go in the pole bag for the main tent, if you look closley you can just about see it in my gallery (2009 pic) it's great for all the cooking gear and foodstuffs, and frees up the main tent. I don't think any sites would charge extra for a Utility tent, as it is an extention of the main tent, unlike a pup tent etc, which may attract an additional charge as folk can sleep in them.

The outwell alabama is a matching utility tent for the indi (although most are in sage, you might be abe to get a blue one) if you are worried about matching kit.

We managed to get a bargain Cabanon PN20 like the one Francais has, and although quite small (I'm 5'7" and it's on my head!) it's just right for the stuff we put in there. We use it with our Norfolk Lake, which is a similar size to the indi, and dont get charged more for using it. I like to keep all the kitchen stuff away from the kids.....they know not to go in there, and it keeps our porch for boots, bikes and sun lounging!!

I'd go for the cotton outdoor revolution XL from caravanstuff 4 u wweb site, as I'd feel safer cooking under cotton rather than plastic.
