There is a cafeteria which opens at noon, it has indoor and outdoor seating and is nice and airy. The food offered is written down on a blackboard and I believe it changes daily. When I was there they had roasted chicken, potatoes, gravy, rice and some vegetables. I think you pay a single price for the whole order. I didn't eat there (because there were no vegetarian options and didn't want to pay a full price for just the vegetables) so I'm not entirely sure of what the charge is -I vaguely remember it being something between 10-15 USD but don't hold me to it.
