I was planning to do this, yeah - surprised so many people seem to want to rely on specific food stops as I personally prefer to stop when I feel like it, and eat what I've prepared beforehand ('prepared' being a generous term). However, I'll definitely make use of any opportunities to have a nice warm cup of coffee!

There was a time when nothing was open in Essex and Suffolk after the first pubs you pass, and for a long time there was one single food stop, at Great Waldingfield, which was always a bit of a lifesaver with hot soup and pasta. The more recent development of loads of stopping options is great, as the local economy has taken over (the above-mentioned food stop was organised by Londoners). I'm sure that has made people lazier, but it also helps with the Dynamo's real character as a stately and luxurious procession to the beach.

Carry your own food. You know you'll like it, you can eat when you like and no worries about bonking in the middle of nowhere!
I'd also recommend eating a decent meal at about 3am. It's pretty cold then and the rest and food will help you through the worst part of the ride (just before dawn), when most people feel pretty shitty from lack of sleep and the drop in temperature.
