Depends on the rating of your cooker. Upto 3kW can be plugged into a 13A socket. Anything larger needs it's own dedicated circuit.

if it is an electric cooker with rings, you cannot plug it in.

you can plug in a single oven with no rings. not a cooker.

if the accomodation includes an electric cooker circuit, you can use that. But it needs a large "fuse" large cable, large switch, large wall outlet all purpose made for such a heavy load.
