What serves diners a feta-rice mix? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cafeteria

'what serves diners' is the definition.

'a feta-rice mix?' is the wordplay.
'mix?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'mixes' mean this).
'a'+'feta'+'rice'='afetarice'
'afetarice' anagrammed gives 'CAFETERIA'.

(Other definitions for cafeteria that I've seen before include "Where one scoffs" , "dining-room" , "Place to eat" , "Canteen" , "Self-service restaurant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
