You cannot use the ASP.net cache as a shared cache between the Windows Service and the Web Site. The Windows Service will not be able to access this.

In order to do what you want, you should use an external cache. For example, set up Redis on the same machine or on a different accessible machine, and access it from the the Windows Service to refresh your data, and from the Web Site to retrieve the pre-cached data.

You could use some kind of web service using a generic handler and have the Windows service talk to that to update items on the web site.

However, personally I'd use an external cache like Couchbase (Memcache) and have both the web site and the Windows service use that instead.
