Ashmore Green weddings: local tips
Ashmore Green is about 2 miles north-west of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. People in Ashmore Green book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Ashmore Green is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 13 miles away.
Couples marrying at local churches such as St. Mark's Church often hold the reception nearby, with the van parked by the marquee or hall. Within reach of Ashmore Green are historic houses such as Shaw House (2 miles west) and Benham Park (4.2 miles west). Historic houses and estates often have rules on catering vans, so check early if that’s your venue.

Anywhere in RG18, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your wedding could be at a house on Ash Terrace, Ashmore Green Road and Stoney Lane, wherever the van can park.

Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Ashmore Green? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In Ashmore Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
