Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Charlottesville, VA

From packed Hoos football tailgates outside Scott Stadium to summer concerts at the Sprint Pavilion and wine festivals along the Monticello Wine Trail, Charlottesville knows how to throw a party. The secret ingredient that keeps crowds happy is a diverse food lineup—and nothing delivers variety faster than food trucks. Unlike the old-school tent kitchens that needed extra permits, generators, and hours of setup, modern food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens. They’re ready to serve thousands within minutes, keeping your guests focused on the Blue Ridge views and great music instead of waiting in long food lines.

Best Food Trucks is the local expert at coordinating multiple trucks for high-volume catering. Whether you’re planning a block-long celebration on the Downtown Mall, a corporate retreat at Boar’s Head Resort, or a graduation bash at UVA’s John Paul Jones Arena, we match your event size with the right mix of Charlottesville favorites:

  • Ricebowls Express – Mediterranean-inspired rice bowls loaded with fresh veggies and proteins. Perfect for fueling festival-goers trekking up Carter Mountain.
  • Blue Ridge Pizza Co – Wood-fired pies that pair perfectly with a glass of local cider at any Albemarle County fairground.
  • Royal Creamery & Icery – Small-batch ice cream and Italian ices that keep summer events on the Downtown Mall cool and sweet.
  • Fantabulous Chef Service LLC – Elevated American comfort food that turns corporate picnics at Darden Towe Park into gourmet gatherings.
  • Curbside Creations – Classic burgers, fries, and Southern staples perfect for community fundraisers at Charlottesville High School.

Need 5,000 meals served between sets at a Charlottesville Music Showcase? Or multiple cuisines to satisfy a diverse crowd at the United Way’s Day of Caring? Our logistics team handles scheduling, spacing, and optimized menu rotation so each guest gets hot, fresh food with minimal wait. Plus, every truck carries full health permits and insurance, giving you peace of mind while you focus on headliners and ticket sales.

Make your next large-scale Charlottesville event unforgettable—book your food truck fleet with Best Food Trucks today and let the flavors of Central Virginia roll right in.

I was told that the $6 garlic fries I paid extra for were on the one box. I find it hard to believe that was extra fries. Seems like it would be an extra box(extra side)

Food was amazing. Chef Yarwood clearly knows what he is doing. The steak tips with mushrooms and onions as well as the Mac and cheese were truly delicious. I will definitely be ordering again in the future.

Good pizza! I love the crust and the garlic is over the top! Suggestion: allow me to add sausage and extra basil to the base white pizza without adding red sauce.😉

The Ice Dreammm Truck was a hit. Strawberry Shortcake was a favorite. The employees were very friendly.

I found the cheese pizza to be salty and the margherita pizza needed more tomato sauce. The cauliflower crust was good as was the balsamic vinaigrette.
