Mahjong & Mingle: Bon Appétiles 🇫🇷🀄️

We’re giving our Mahjong and Food format another go - because last time, the turnout was magnifique ☺️

This time, we’re pairing tiles with tartes at The French Quarter, Newcastle’s top spot for rustic French dining. Think cosy bistro vibes, rich flavours, and plenty of post-game storytelling over confit and charcuterie 😋

Whether you’re chasing the elusive 13 Orphans or just curious what a bamboo tile looks like, this relaxed session is perfect for all levels.
🀄️Friendly intro to Hong Kong-style Mahjong
🀄️ Tips for building a winning hand (or bluffing with flair)
🀄️Supportive vibes - no tile-shaming, ever
