On Location Catering catering

Boosting Richmond’s Home-Grown Businesses

Booking studio food truck catering in Richmond does more than satisfy hungry crews—it pours your production dollars straight back into the River City. Most RVA food trucks are owned by the very chefs smiling at you from the service window, family-run ventures rooted in neighborhoods like Church Hill, Carytown, and Manchester. When your set orders lunch, you’re helping those local entrepreneurs keep their wheels—and dreams—turning.

Food trucks also keep your shoot greener than the James after a summer storm. These self-contained kitchens draw less power than a traditional craft-services tent and eliminate mountains of disposable chafers and plastic wrap. Fewer generators, less waste, happier neighbors—exactly what eco-minded productions filming along the Capital Trail or under the Lee Bridge love to hear.

So the next time someone on set searches “low-budget film catering Richmond” or “craft services near Shockoe Slip,” skip the soggy boxed lunches and call Best Food Trucks. We’ll roll in RVA’s favorite rigs, fuel your cast and crew, and keep Richmond’s small-business economy thriving—one tasty take at a time.

Papa Arepas was a big hit at my office. They arrived with plenty of time to set up, food ordering on their digital kiosk was easy and convenient, and the food was superb! We will definitely be having them back.

The listing should specify that addition of ranch in the boom boom wrap will come as a little container instead of being added into the wrap. Also, the wrap was cut with aluminum foil on it which resulted in fragments of aluminum in the wrap.

The staff was super friendly. We were looking forward to the fresh cut fries but they were cold. The burger buns were super fresh.

Love the popper. I liked how the jalapeño is within a tortilla so the filling doesn't spill out. Your tortillas are excellent.
