Raiders Belconnen

Raiders Belconnen is a family and community-focused club in Belconnen, offering a relaxed place to eat, meet and enjoy entertainment under one roof. Its Meat & Eat on Hardwick bistro serves lunch and dinner seven days a week, with a broad menu, regularly changing blackboard specials and options suited to different dietary needs. The club trades from 9am to 4am daily, giving it a wide window for casual meals, drinks and club activities.

The dining specials are a major draw. Lunch specials are available every day, while Tuesdays bring a kilo of chicken wings with a choice of flavour and a drink. Thursdays feature a Reef and Beef offer built around rump, prawns and sides. Wednesday is the venue’s schnitzel night, with a 350g chicken schnitzel served with sauce and two sides, alongside a mystery meat raffle. There is also a stone-grill option, with steaks cooked on hot rocks so diners can enjoy them to their preferred level, plus a choice of sides and sauces.

Families are particularly well catered for. Monday night’s kids-eat-free offer is paired with an indoor playground in the bistro’s kids’ area, allowing parents to settle in while children play. The club’s regular dining setup and varied specials also make it suitable for an informal meal with friends, a family dinner or a casual catch-up rather than a formal occasion. Reservations for Meat & Eat on Hardwick can be made through the club, with phone bookings also available.

Raiders Belconnen is part of the wider Raiders Group, which operates across the ACT and Queanbeyan. The club describes itself as not for profit and maintains close relationships with local sporting clubs and other community organisations, working with them to support their local impact. That community connection sits alongside the practical appeal of a bistro, family facilities and frequent food offers, making the venue a useful all-round option for locals in Canberra’s north-west.
