Camp Catering – Sorted
Cooking together can be a brilliant part of camp life. But when you’re looking after a whole school group, planning ingredients, transporting food, managing dietary requirements and cooking three meals a day can also become quite a job.
For Big School Camp 2027, schools can choose to add a fully catered option, delivered in partnership with Fire, Ferment & Smoke, specialists in outdoor and Dutch oven cooking and Food Lovers Delight.
Our events with Fire Ferment Smoke have always provided us with a stunning service. They are the perfect fit for any outdoor experience, every dish was unbelievably tasty and cooked with so much care and attention, whilst still making it affordable, and its lots of fun
Proper food, cooked outdoors
This isn’t conventional event catering brought in from a kitchen somewhere else.
The Fire, Ferment & Smoke team bring the kitchen with them.
They’ll arrive at your camp with their own equipment and experienced team, set up an outdoor kitchen and prepare your chosen meals right there on site – keeping food and cooking very much part of the Big School Camp experience.
Your school simply chooses the meals you’d like from the available menu. They take care of the equipment, preparation and cooking.
All they need from the school is access to water.
Choose the meals that work for your camp
You can build the catering around your itinerary rather than committing to a completely catered camp.
Breakfast – £5 + VAT per person
Lunch – £6 + VAT per person
Dinner – £7 + VAT per person
A minimum of two meals must be booked to make the catering package viable – for example, dinner followed by breakfast.
That means you could still include your own campfire lunch or cooking activity during the day while leaving the bigger meals to the catering team.
Mobile Catering – We Bring the Kitchen
For schools looking for a completely flexible catering option, our mobile catering team at Food Lovers Delight can bring everything needed to prepare, cook and serve meals directly at your Big School Camp.
Working alongside the Big School Camp team, Food Lovers Delight provide a fully mobile catering service capable of looking after groups of virtually any size.
Your own kitchen. Right there at camp.
Before your event, the catering team will work directly with your school to create a menu that suits your group, taking into account preferences, allergies and specific dietary requirements.
Then, on the day, they bring everything with them.
The team arrives with the catering equipment required for your particular camp, sets up a self-contained outdoor kitchen and takes care of the preparation, cooking and serving throughout your chosen meals.
All they require is a suitable area to set up and access to water.
Flexible menus for your school
There’s no one-size-fits-all menu.
Food Lovers Delight can adapt their menus around the needs of your school and the children attending, making this a particularly flexible option for larger groups or camps where there are a variety of dietary requirements to accommodate.
Meals are priced at:
£8 per person, per meal
Simply let us know the number of students and staff attending, the meals you'd like catered and any particular requirements, and we can provide a catering quote and confirm availability.
Experienced, equipped and ready to go, Food Lovers Delight arrive completely self-sufficient, with an experienced team ready to cook and serve your students and staff.
They are fully insured, risk assessed and hold all relevant food hygiene certifications and qualifications – giving schools the reassurance that the practical side of catering is properly taken care of.
You bring the campers. We’ll bring the kitchen.
