Burghfield occupies a distinctive spot in West Berkshire's geography — close enough to Reading and the M4 for an easy commute, yet still a genuinely rural village bordered by the River Kennet, the Kennet and Avon Canal, and open farmland. It's home to a major employer in AWE Burghfield, a well-known conference and wedding venue in the De Vere Wokefield Estate, and a growing residential population split between Burghfield village and the larger Burghfield Common. A local taxi service needs to understand all of that, and Wellington Cars has been meeting those needs across this part of Berkshire for years.
We cover the whole of Burghfield: the historic village centre around St Mary's Church and the village green, the shops and schools of Burghfield Common, the approach roads to AWE Burghfield, and out towards Theale, Sulhamstead, and Mortimer. Our drivers know Burghfield's lanes the way only a genuinely local service can — not by following a sat-nav, but by understanding how the village moves at different times of day, from AWE shift changeovers to school-run traffic.
Every fare is fixed and agreed before your journey begins. There is no meter running in traffic on the A340, no late-night uplift applied without warning, and no revision of the price because the M4 was busier than usual. A fixed fare from Wellington Cars is exactly that — fixed.

Burghfield spans a scattered patch of West Berkshire, and the experience of getting around it varies by time of day and season. Our drivers understand this — the back-lanes around Wokefield Park, the quickest route past AWE Burghfield at shift changeover, and the quieter roads out towards Sulhamstead after dark.
We pick up from the door, not from a nearby main road. Whether your address is a farmhouse off Kiln Road or a semi on the Burghfield Common estate, your driver will find you.

Burghfield is a civil parish in West Berkshire, made up of the older village around St Mary's Church and the larger, more residential Burghfield Common. It sits between Reading and the market town of Basingstoke, bordered by the River Kennet and the Kennet and Avon Canal — a favourite spot for local walkers, cyclists, and anglers.
The village is perhaps best known as the home of AWE Burghfield, part of the UK's Atomic Weapons Establishment, and for the De Vere Wokefield Estate, a hotel and golf resort that regularly hosts weddings and corporate events. Together, these two sites bring a steady flow of staff, delegates, and guests who need dependable transport outside standard bus hours.
Whether you live on the outskirts of Burghfield Common, work shifts at AWE, or are checking out of Wokefield Park after a weekend event, a pre-booked Burghfield taxi means one less thing to think about — no rural bus timetables to plan around, and no uncertainty about a ride home after dark.
