Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Charlottesville
From concerts at the Ting Pavilion to tailgates on UVA’s Scott Stadium lawn, Charlottesville knows how to throw a party—and nothing keeps big crowds happier than first-rate food truck catering. Traditional tent kitchens once dominated festivals on the Downtown Mall or wine weekends out at Carter Mountain Orchard, but they required extra permits, generators, and hours of set-up. Modern food trucks arrive fully self-contained, fire up their onboard kitchens in minutes, and start serving fresh, hot meals right here in Central Virginia.
Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple trucks for high-volume events, making us the go-to partner for large-scale catering in Charlottesville. Whether you’re planning a community fundraiser at IX Art Park, a corporate retreat near Monticello, or a multi-day sports tournament at Darden Towe, we’ll build a custom lineup that fits every palate and dietary need.
Check out a few local favorites ready to roll up to your next big gathering:
- Ricebowls Express – Mediterranean-inspired rice bowls packed with fresh veggies and grilled proteins. Perfect for quick, satisfying meals that keep festival-goers moving.
- Blue Ridge Pizza Co – Hand-tossed, wood-fired pies baked on the spot—ideal for UVA alumni reunions or late-night Downtown Mall events.
- Royal Creamery & Icery – Small-batch ice cream, sorbet, and shaved ice that cools off hot summer crowds at Fridays After Five.
- Fantabulous Chef Service LLC – Elevated American comfort food that turns any corporate picnic at Boar’s Head Resort into a gourmet experience.
- Curbside Creations – Crowd-pleasing burgers, sandwiches, and Southern sides—just the thing for large family reunions at Pen Park.
No matter the size of your audience, our curated fleet delivers speed, variety, and the authentic flavors Charlottesville locals love. Reach out to Best Food Trucks today and discover how effortless large-scale food truck catering in Charlottesville can be.
Skip the Line and Soak Up the Charlottesville Vibe
Whether you’re rocking out at a packed Fridays After Five show or cheering on the Hoos outside Scott Stadium, nobody wants to waste time standing in line for food. Best Food Trucks’ Charlottesville-ready online ordering system lets guests browse menus from our curated fleet, pay securely, and receive a text the moment their meal is plated. From the Downtown Mall to the grassy hills of Carter Mountain Orchard, attendees can keep their eyes on the stage—and off the queue.
Event planners love the flexibility. Drop a pre-order link in your Tom Tom Festival ticket confirmation, or schedule pick-up windows for thousands of runners at the Charlottesville Ten-Miler finish line. Our platform is engineered for high-frequency ordering, so even peak rush between sets at Ting Pavilion or halftime at John Paul Jones Arena stays smooth.

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.😉

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.

I was home and didn’t plan on going back out. I got a pop up that the Melt Machine was a few minutes away. I placed an order and left my house for a grilled cheese and tots! LOVE the Melt Machine!!!!
