I remember visiting RAF Ballykelly for ATC Summer Camp in 1963.
In the 'Airmens Mess' (nowadays called JRM) us cadets were served
4 cooked meals per day (breakfast, lunch, tea, supper), the last commencing at 8 pm presumably because Ballykelly operated H24 patrols 7 days per week and yes, they served beans with each meal.
