Skylark Social - Colchester

I have just visited Sylarks for the first time, and wowzers! We were greeting by the lovely Sarah who was extremely welcoming and attentive- the service was outstanding.
The food was absolutely INCREDIBLE and very reasonably priced, especially with the quality local produce. And the atmosphere was perfect in a stunning setting- I think I’ve found my new favourite place. Thank you to your team… I’ll be back on Sunday to try out the stone baked pizzas!

Gorgeous spot and great brunch at Skylark Social.

Food was delicious, sourced locally and cakes made in house! Great quality, cooked exactly right.

A relaxed, rustic environment and outdoor space by the vineyard — lovely setting, and just easy to enjoy. Exactly what you want from a brunch. Would 100% recommend.

First time here - what an absolutely beautiful venue with incredible views of the vineyard. It genuinely feels like you are on holiday with a relaxed atmosphere. The food is absolutely lovely, service is wonderful. We will definitely be back. They also do a wine tasting tour that we are going to book in for. Dog friendly. Highly recommend.

We held a party at Skylark and it was simply fabulous in everyway. The food, atmosphere, venue, staff and cocktails were all first class. I cann't fault this place. Highly reccomended.

Lovely place, what a find! Great breakfasts too. Walking the dog, it's dog friendly, they even offer a dog bed. The bloody Mary's on offer were too tempting, extra Tabasco for a cold rainy day!

We had our wedding here in September 2025 and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The whole day was so much fun and so well organised by the team from start to finish. We held our ceremony there and had a hog roast and pizzas during the day, which all went down brilliantly with our guests.

Since the wedding we’ve been back multiple times for lunch and brunch, and most recently for the live music and cocktails night. The pizza was amazing, the cocktails were fantastic, and the staff were so friendly and accommodating, especially as we were a large group.

Cannot recommend this place enough — such a lovely local venue and it’s great to be able to support somewhere so special.

Had a great time at Skylark Social.

The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with a modern, stylish design that makes it a great spot to relax or meet friends. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the enjoyable experience.

The pizza from their oven is absolutely delicious — definitely a highlight. However, the opening hours and schedule are a bit frustrating, as the pizza is not always available when you visit.

Overall, a fun and inviting place, but make sure to check when the pizza is being served. Still worth a visit and would happily return.

I booked tickets for 6 people for the 23rd of August and we had the best time! Our group absolutely loved the tour led by Josh he was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. The friendly atmosphere created by all the staff really added to the fun.

We learned so much about the different wines and really enjoyed tasting a few of their creations. The food afterwards was delicious and definitely hit the spot. Everyone in my group said they’d love to come again and bring more people next time! Oh and it was really nice touch to see my name on the table makes the group feel special.

The price was fantastic compared to other places we’ve looked at, making it really good value for such a high-quality experience. I also love that the vineyard is dog-friendly, which is such a bonus. The toilet facilities and general surroundings were spotless, which made the day even more comfortable.

And of course, the vineyard itself was just stunning a beautiful backdrop to a wonderful day. If I could give this experience 10/10 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you so much to the team for such a lovely, well-planned day. We can’t wait to come back soon!
