About Skylark Social

Tucked away on Dead Lane at Prettyfields Vineyard in Ardleigh, just minutes from Colchester, Skylark Social is a delightful fusion of farm-shop, terrace café-bar and vineyard-side escape. It’s open seven days a week from 9am and the venue showcases locally-sourced produce in its bright farm shop, welcomes you to unwind on the shaded terrace overlooking the vines, and invites you to linger into the evening with craft wines, artisan cocktails, and wood-fired pizzas. Whether you’re browsing the shelves for fresh ingredients, meeting friends for brunch or a coffee and cake, or settling in for a relaxed supper, Skylark Social brings warm hospitality and countryside charm in a beautifully designed setting.

A wonderful evening with a fantastic mellow 5 piece band. Staff were friendly and attentive and also made sure the band was well catered for throughout their performance. We had a sharing mezze platter and pizza which were very flavoursome and a good variety of soft drinks. Above all it was the atmosphere and ambience that made it such an enjoyable experience. We could have been in the Mediterranean! What a great find!

Overall good experience on the pizza night, good atmosphere, but, for the price, we expected the pizzas to be bigger and fill out the whole of the pizza box, albeit they were of very good quality.

Excellent service, food drinks, ambience and have booked for one of the evening events with music. Steak sandwich was delicious. Cocktails amazing! Cakes less impressive.

Great sour dough pizza, hand a couple of cocktails as well. The young guys and girls that work here are a real bonus for this place. So friendly. Really friendly and great pizza on a Saturday afternoon. We took the dog and were offered bed and bowl for him. Love this place to walk to at the weekend.

I organised an end of school year get together at Skylark. We were all so impressed. Amazing food and drinks, service was excellent and we loved the atmosphere. All said we would revisit with family soon.

Lovely place with a really nice atmosphere, and the wood-fired pizzas were delicious! The staff were friendly and we really enjoyed our visit. The only slight downside was that we didn’t realise food service stopped at 3pm. It would have been nice to know beforehand, but luckily they were kind enough to let us order, a limited amount of food. We’d definitely visit again!

My new favourite place. A chilled vibe for any age. I’ve been a few times now and this time took my aging parents in their 80s. The staff made sure they were comfortable with cushions and also allowed them to order at the bar rather than the app. The team are so friendly, kind and always smiling. The steak and eggs for brunch is something else!!! Especially with a nice little pinot noir.
