Richmond Studio Catering: Hot, Customizable Meals Right on Set
Whether you’re filming along the cobblestone streets of Shockoe Bottom, capturing skyline shots from Manchester, or shooting a commercial in Scott’s Addition, Best Food Trucks brings the best of Richmond’s food truck scene straight to your studio lot. We have years of on-set experience feeding film crews of every size, and we know RVA appetites. Our team will create rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew excited, pinpoint the most convenient serving locations, streamline online ordering and pickup, and make sure every vendor carries the proper City of Richmond permits and insurance.
Need hearty American comfort food? Book the locally loved Fantabulous Chef Service LLC, the crowd-pleasing Curbside Creations, or festival favorite Shakedown Eats. Craving global flavors? Noahsrockinbuns will wow the crew with fresh Bao and chef-driven Asian dishes, while Latin Quarter spices things up with vibrant Caribbean eats. We’ll coordinate every truck so meals are hot and ready the moment “cut” is called.
From early-morning call times to late-night wrap parties, our Richmond studio catering service minimizes downtime and maximizes satisfaction. Plus, food trucks reduce packaging waste compared to traditional craft services, helping keep the James River—and your production—clean and green. Let Best Food Trucks handle the logistics, permits, and cost analysis, so you can focus on getting the perfect shot. Richmond film crews trust us; your studio will too.
Fueling RVA’s Set — and Its Small Businesses
Booking a Richmond food truck for your studio catering does more than fill bellies during that 6 a.m. call time on East Broad Street—it keeps the city’s independent culinary scene rolling. Nearly every truck we dispatch is a family-owned micro-enterprise based right here in the 804, from Church Hill to Northside. Your production dollars go straight back into Richmond neighborhoods, helping owners hire local prep cooks, shop at the 17th Street Farmers Market, and pay rent on those tiny commercial kitchens tucked off Hull Street.
Going mobile is also the most eco-friendly way to feed a crew. Modern food trucks run high-efficiency equipment, arrive with just the portions you pre-order through our online system, and serve in compostable packaging—less trash headed for the Henrico landfill compared to traditional craft-service buffets. Add in our staggered pickup windows and you’ll slash idling generators and wasted watts on set.
So, the next time your location manager Googles “low-budget film catering near me” while scouting Bellevue or the Fan, remember: a food truck from Best Food Trucks delivers hot, customizable meals, props up Richmond’s small businesses, and keeps your production sustainable. That’s a wrap everyone can feel good about.

The pizza taste great but the picture made them look bigger than the pie was and I didn't know I would have order a few more because they were small.

Nashville bourbon cheesesteak.. delicious only suggestion to put queso sauce in a separate container so the bread won't get soggy.

. The boneless wings and fries were really good but the kids burger barely had a meat patty on it. It was almost eating just bread. I know it's a kids burger but it still costs like 9 dollars.

I made a review earlier about their sauces being a little amount, I’ve tried them since and they have made the portion of their sauces much better and the food was amazing again!

Don't run out of German potato salad so early in the evening. We placed our order before 5:00 for a 5:20 pick up and they were already out of it.
