OUR COMMUNITY
COR is a family run neighbourhood restaurant in South Bristol, UK.
We passionately believe in giving back to our community.
That’s why COR works with many Bristol & national charities, growing relationships to promote the hospitality industry, support those in need and use food as a means to empower people.
It’s also why we use the space at COR for pop-ups, charity & event nights. COR is a place for our team and community to use to do what they love and are passionate about. So far, this has included pop-ups from members of the team trialling their own ideas/menu's, themed event nights showcasing particular regional cuisines, first aid training courses, wine tasting & WSET courses, fish butchery, short filming with local university students, nationwide charities & themed charity events nights.
