I really should to write a more detailed post to the Auditory list about this, but we just released an A/V speech corpus that may be suitable.
Details and link in JASA letter to the editor: https://asa.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1121/10.0001670

Binaural cafeteria noise with impulse responses, 48 khz:

cocktail party: look into the CHiME Challenge data. Various editions of the challenge have different type of recordings with multiple microphone configurations. Not sure if it’s realistic (I remember the data being recorded with like 6 microphones attached to a tablet). Better than nothing...

I am not aware of other corpora, I have searched for that myself 2-3 years ago and that was the best I could find.
Cheers
