Mangakahia Sports & Community Complex warmly invites you to our popular, family friendly, monthly Country Meals — a highlight on the local calendar.
Join us on the second Friday of each month (excluding January), with orders opening from 6.00pm, for an evening filled with great food, friendly faces, and a relaxed community atmosphere.
Our Country meals are all about people coming together — whether you’re catching up with neighbours, meeting new people, or simply enjoying an affordable family (or date night) out with family and friends.
It’s a welcoming space where everyone feels at home.
Our menu is kept consistent, with hearty family favourites and satisfying meals at affordable prices, always served with your choice of fresh, homemade salad, followed by a tempting dessert buffet — all included. We also offer gluten-free and dairy-free options; just let us know about any dietary needs when ordering.
Every meal shared helps give back to our community with proceeds from the evening shared with the hosting group to support projects and initiatives that strengthen our community (check the schedule below to see who’s hosting next).
We’d love for you to join us — come along for a delicious meal, a friendly chat, and the chance to support something truly special in our community.

Opened in 1976 and run by the Mangakahia Sportsground Society, our Complex has grown into a much-loved gathering place for the whole community. Over the years, it’s become a space where memories are made — on the field, in the halls, and all around the grounds.
Our facilities offer something for everyone. We have a spacious community building with two squash courts, two rugby fields, several junior football fields, a playground with a basketball hoop, and a peaceful walking loop — perfect for a quiet stroll or catching up with a friend.
If you’re planning a special celebration or event, we’d love to host you. Our facilities are available for birthdays, weddings, funerals, meetings, workshops, and more. You can choose from two welcoming reception lounges, both equipped with commercial kitchens, or a versatile hall/gymnasium with its own kitchenette. The upstairs lounge also features a licensed bar, making it a wonderful space for social gatherings.
