At Coro we believe chocolate should be a fun and sharing experience. We don’t claim to be master chocolatiers, in fact its quite the opposite. Our aim is to give customers their chocolate fix but not just from your standard bar of chocolate. We pour our Belgian chocolate over freshly made pancakes, into our buttery crepes and drizzled over our fluffy waffles. If thats not enough we’ll give you a fondue to dunk some fresh fruit, cake or sweets into melted chocolate with a hot chocolate like no other to wash it all down.

    Really enjoyed our evening meal at the Queen's. It was our first visit and we'll definitely return. Delicious food, great beer, vast range of whiskies, friendly efficient service and a real buzz about the place. Only minor quibble was that the chips were too crispy hard for someone with sensitive gums.

    Really good experience! Service was fantastic, food was amazing, drinks were tasty! Only thing, you feel a little on top of other guests as the venue is quite small. Didn’t ruin the experience at all though. Will be back!!

    The chocolate was amazing!😍 Everything on the menu was so good! I had to have the chocolate cake as this is what I saw on Instagram!!! Next time I will be having the chocolate fondue! The decor could do with updating in my opinion. Service was very slow despite what seemed to be a lot of staff roaming around. Areas for improvement: have someone on the door/managing the queue outside as you had to queue to get to the door despite having a reservation. Once inside there was no one to greet you and again had to wait. Then had to wait 10 mins for order to be taken, and longer still for drinks to arrive. This was my only critique which I thought worth mentioning so the place can improve, but overall I absolutely loved it and will definitely be back ☺️
