They're changing the food stop this year, so I'm uncertain exactly what is where.
The Southwark Cyclists page: http://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/dunwich-dynamo-xxiv-2016/
Says that around 55 miles there is the halfway hall with hot drinks and basic food. I usually just treat that as a water stop as queues frustrate me, I prefer to be moving.
There's usually a BBQ at the Fire Station in Sudbury.
Also when you get to Needham Lake there's typically a burger stand that sells coffees too, and that has toilets and a water tap too.
Framlingham has been rumoured to have stuff. I've never seen it as I've always rolled through without stopping.
I usually stumble across whomever it is who opens a popup hot dog joint in their garden about 3/4 of the way there.
For me... I take bagels and flapjacks, enough food for me to go all night plus some for anyone else who I meet should they need it. Two large water bottles, aiming to sip my way through before the halfway hall, and then to top up there for the rest of the journey.
If I stop anywhere, it's for a hot dog in some random's garden just after the 3/4 mark. I've only not found it one year... maybe I was lost at the time.
To people who are reading and never done this before: Take cash, fivers and tenners, a few pound coins. Places seldom have change, and by and large only accept cash. You'll want to keep cash for the breakfast in the cafe at the end too.

So, I'm doing this for the first time in a few years. I remember a lot of pain in my extremities last time around, but have a better fitting bike this time, so am probably unduly relaxed about the distance.
I march on my stomach though, so can anyone offer a concise summary of feed stops, for a bit of pre-ride strategizing?
@Ramsaye keeps telling me, but most of his advice seems to revolve around pubs.
