From downtown’s Bushnell Park concerts to lunchtime crowds outside the Travelers Tower, Hartford residents know there’s nothing like a fresh chicken sandwich made on the spot.

Skip the 45-minute wait for delivery apps and let our Hartford chicken food truck catering roll right up to your curb, office, or wedding venue with meals made to order and served piping hot.
This is chicken done the twenty-first-century Hartford way, not the slow, soggy plates your grandparents waited for. Best Food Trucks partners with the city’s most talked-about mobile kitchens to guarantee every bite is as fresh as the breeze off the Connecticut River.

Supporting Hartford’s Small Businesses—One Crispy Chicken Sandwich at a Time
Every time you book Hartford chicken food truck catering with Best Food Trucks, you’re feeding more than your guests—you’re fueling the dreams of local entrepreneurs. Most of the trucks we partner with are family-run crews from neighborhoods like Parkville, South End, and Blue Hills. Your corporate lunch on Constitution Plaza or evening reception at The Society Room keeps Hartford dollars right here in the 860, circulating through community kitchens, local bakeries, and Connecticut farms that supply the freshest poultry.
Food trucks are also the greenest way to dish out Hartford’s favorite comfort food. Compact kitchens on wheels use far less energy than a traditional banquet hall, and our trucks serve on recyclable trays and compostable cutlery—so whether we’re parked outside the Wadsworth Atheneum or tailgating before a Yard Goats game at Dunkin’ Park, we leave almost nothing behind but the aroma of perfectly fried chicken.
So the next time you search “corporate catering near me” or “Hartford chicken food truck,” skip the disposable chafing dishes and give your staff—or wedding guests—a socially responsible meal that crackles with Nutmeg State flavor. Click “Book Now,” and let Hartford’s hardest-working small businesses bring the crunch straight to your curb.
