Coco & Rum - Middlesbrough

There’s a little Thai gem tucked away in Middlesbrough that’s quietly winning hearts and stomachs. Coco & Rum brings the bold, aromatic flavours of Southeast Asia to town with a menu that balances heat, sweetness, and punchy herbs. The kitchen holds a solid Food Hygiene Rating, and while the restaurant might be new to the scene, it’s already built a loyal local following. Expect fragrant curries, sizzling stir-fries, and the kind of coconut-rich dishes that make you want to order seconds.

The cooking here leans into classic Thai territory—think green papaya salad, pad Thai with that perfect sweet-sour kick, and tom yum soup loaded with lemongrass and chilli. They’re not afraid to turn up the spice, but you can dial it back if you prefer a gentler ride. Everything arrives fresh and well-balanced, with generous portions that work for sharing or a solo feast. Whether you’re after a quick lunch or a weekend treat, Coco & Rum delivers straight to your door across Middlesbrough.
