Raiders Gungahlin

Raiders Gungahlin is a not-for-profit, family- and community-focused club in the Gungahlin town centre, across from Gungahlin Marketplace. It brings dining, entertainment and a relaxed club setting together in one venue, making it a practical option for locals after a casual meal, a community event or a place to unwind. The club is part of the Raiders Group, which operates venues across the ACT and Queanbeyan, and welcomes both members and guests.

The Zest dining area offers lunch specials seven days a week from 11.30am to 2pm, with a menu that includes pub-style favourites alongside vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Named options include rump steak, beer-battered fish, buffalo chicken wings, chicken schnitzel, salt and pepper squid, a lentil, chickpea and coconut curry, schnitzel burger and beef rissoles. Several meals come with a choice of sides or sauces, while the menu identifies dietary details and whether seafood is Australian, imported or of mixed origin. Member and non-member pricing is listed separately, and a public holiday surcharge applies.

Weekly food and community offers give the venue a regular rhythm. Wednesday brings schnitzel specials at lunch and dinner, as well as a meat raffle with tickets sold from 6.15pm and draws beginning at 7.15pm. The raffle features 20 meat trays, including gluten-free trays. Thursdays offer a rump or ribs special across lunch and dinner, while Seafood Tuesday is promoted as another regular dining feature. These events suit groups looking for an easy midweek catch-up, particularly those who enjoy the social side of a club as much as the meal itself.

The venue trades from 9am to 4am, seven days a week, providing a broad window for daytime dining and late-night visits. Its focus on service, community and relaxed experiences makes it suited to local members, guests, families and groups, while the cafe booking option may also be useful when planning a meal. A yearly membership costs $2 and includes membership at Raiders Gungahlin and Raiders Belconnen, according to the venue’s website. The club’s long trading hours and recurring specials make it a straightforward choice for Gungahlin locals wanting familiar dining and club activities in a central location.
