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!

Fruits, rice, pasta

Edit: dont do rice, it’s a bad idea

I don't know about pasta, but cooked rice can go bad within a few hours, definitely wouldn't eat it after a few days. Unless you mean dried rice but I don't know how you'd cook it without boiling water.

Haven't tried rice, but buckwheat you can toss into cold water, let it soak overnight and have a meal ready by the morning. An old time-poor (and money-poor) student's trick.

Huh, never heard of that, good to know! Though I've actually had a hard time finding buckwheat (and most grains besides wheat, really) at a reasonable price; the only options at my closest grocery store are all extremely marked up organic options in tiny containers. It's too bad, I really like whole grains.
