Hi Stuart,
I'll be going for 4/5 nights, just me. My first time camping since I was 14.
Main issue is that food wont keep fresh, unless you plan on taking a fridge !.
Its also a weight versus calories thing although in 4 or 5 days your unlikley to run low ulsess your doing serious exersize.
For the first couple of days you can use packet bacon (mmm the smell of bacon butties in the morning) sausages etc with mash pasta rice etc.
Porridge (or the instant stuff) or musili is good for breakfast you can make it with instannt milk. I like to make huge pancakes and have them with syrup on.
Beyond that there are plenty of pasta, rice and cous cous meals in supermarkets these days most can be made with just water, but go for the quick cooking ones, quicker cooking means less fuel which is less weight.
Lidls do some very nice & cheap pasta meals, I often enhance them with pepperoni sausage (keeps well and high in calories).
There are ranges of complete dehydrated meals in the camping shops, but whilst some taste OK (and others are yuk) they are very expensive.

Stuart.
