New Woden Central dining precinct
The Canberra Southern Cross Club’s newly renovated Woden Central is now open for business. Located in the heart of Woden, the new dining destination provides a wide range of contemporary dining options for all ages. “The centrepiece of the new dining space is our wood-fired pizza oven,” says CSCC Woden general manager Matt Walshe. “Our chefs fire up the oven to around 400oC, which makes the pizza bases light and crispy. With a range of 11 different pizzas on the menu including Boscaiola, Gamberi and Diavola plus vegetarian and the ever popular, but not so traditional, Hawaiian, we’ve made sure there are flavours everyone can enjoy.” The dining offerings at Woden Central are found in four distinct spaces: The Patio, Henry’s family dining, The Café, and The Clubhouse & Bar.
Located at 92-96 Corinna Street, Woden, and open 7 days a week from 9am until late.
