The organiser should normally clarify in the rider notes how many infos / manned controls there are.
From memory I think there used to be a manned control with food at Rowlands Castle, roughly halfway. Don't go mad as most of the climbing is after this point : )
As it's a KWCC event you generally get fed and watered pretty well on your way round, usually ale at the finish too.

It can be both. If it’s a manned control, there might be some food and drink out for you and someone will stamp your brevet card. Most likely though the controls will be free controls, meaning you buy food from a shop, or sit in Costa or whatever, making sure you ask for and keep the receipt as proof of passage. Make sure you carry a bit of food with you too (some don’t; I always do). Oh, and info control means you need to answer a question on the route, the name of a pub, or something like that. Obviously though you can also stop for cake and coffee whenever you feel like it.
