I'm going to be camping for 4 days at a location without easy access to fire (hence no boiled water). As such, I'm going to be packing a bunch of canned stuff for my daily meals. The place is in England, where we're expecting a few hot days this week and maybe some rain over the weekend.

However, I have some free time before the trip to cook food. But I'm not sure if there's any good foods I could bring along that could keep for 3-4 days without a fridge. I guess that crosses out most meat dishes.

Some ideas I had were: falafel, fritters, bread, calzones, pasties. Have you tried taking such foods camping and if so, did they last a few days without spoiling? Are there any other foods you'd recommend? Thank you so much!

Look into backpacking meals. They keep forever practically and simply require heat and water most times to prepare.

Came here to suggest this as well. You said no easy access to fire. I don't know if that means you can't have a firepit or any kind of fire period. If it's the former, you could look at backpacking stoves. They're small and compact. Good way to boil some water.
