Christmas parties in Ashmore Green: local tips
Ashmore Green is about 2 miles north-west of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. We take a fish and chip van for your Christmas party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Ashmore Green. Ashmore Green is one of 155 places in West Berkshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Ashmore Green to Reading (about 13 miles away).
Train travellers will want to know that the nearest station is Newbury Racecourse station, about 2.2 miles south-west. A winter fair at a school like Cold Ash St Mark's C.E. School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Ashmore Green is within about 8 miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
For Christmas parties in RG18, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
