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.

Lovely evening, wonderful Food, super fantastic band. Shane about the new order system and pay as you go it just felt like being in spoons and not in a nice restaurant

But disappointed. Have had lunch here and enjoyed it immensely but dinner seems too busy for the staff. Pizza oven broke down so we wait over an hour for our pizzas. Band was too loud and acoustics ropey so not clear - I’d assumed band later after eating - maybe just getting a bit too old for loud music! Would go for lunch or breakfast but evening event disappointing

You’ve only got to look around and see the happy faces to see how much people love this place! We love the wine selections and pizzas are just yummy and great value. Add in the setting and the great staff and you have the perfect evening.

A lovely way to spend an evening with friends for my 40th birthday. Pizzas were tasty and the cocktails were great. The atmosphere, especially on a sunny evening, with live music was just pure joy.

Lovely staff, very attentive. Great place to chill, listen to great music and of course eat the amazing pizzas.

Fantastic experience. We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The pizza and drinks are great. We love this place especially on a sunny day it has such a fab vibe. All the staff are friendly and attentive and quick to serve. Well done to Matt and Dan.

We visited for a family brunch and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We received a warm welcome on arrival and everyone we encountered were friendly and helpful. There is a very nice relaxed atmosphere where families and couples old and young can enjoy excellent local food. We will be back!

Our lunch at Skylark was lovely. All the staff were welcoming, professional and polite. The pizzas were delicious and the wines fantastic. The surroundings were spacious, attractive and welcoming. It was my birthday so my pudding arrived with a candle and smiles, which was a nice treat.
