Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Richmond Studio Set
Filming on the banks of the James River? Blocking off Broad Street for a car chase? Wherever your crew is shooting in RVA, Best Food Trucks delivers reliable, crowd-pleasing food truck catering for studios in Richmond. After years of feeding film and TV productions nationwide, we know exactly how to keep a tired crew energized and on schedule.
Our local team partners with Richmond’s favorite mobile kitchens to build rotating daily menus that fit any budget and every dietary need. Craving down-home comfort food? Book Fantabulous Chef Service LLC, Curbside Creations, or Shakedown Eats for fried-chicken platters, juicy burgers, and all the fixings. Need an Asian twist for your Carytown night shoot? Noahsrockinbuns will roll in with bao buns and chef-driven specials. Want island vibes to wrap the week? Latin Quarter spices things up with Caribbean classics that make any lunch break feel like a vacation.
From Shockoe Bottom warehouses to Virginia State Capitol exteriors, we scout the best parking spots, secure all City of Richmond permits and insurance, and streamline ordering through our contact-free online system. Your production receives a detailed cost analysis before the first meal is served, so there are no surprises—only happy cast and crew.
Food truck catering for film crews in Richmond also cuts down on single-use packaging and food waste, keeping RVA green for future shoots. Let Best Food Trucks handle the mealtime logistics while you focus on getting the perfect take. Lights, camera, lunchtime!
Fueling RVA Dreams & Supporting Small Businesses
Every time you book food truck catering for a studio set in Richmond, you do more than feed a hungry crew—you pump dollars straight back into the River City’s creative economy. Most of the trucks we partner with are owned by Church Hill chefs, Forest Hill families, or Scott’s Addition start-ups that live and breathe RVA flavor. Instead of writing a check to a national caterer, you’re helping your neighbors pay their Dominion Energy bill, source Hanover tomatoes, and keep their businesses rolling down Broad Street.
Food trucks are also a win for eco-friendly film productions. Because they cook to order inside a single mobile kitchen, trucks use far less power and water than a sprawling buffet line, and they rely on compostable serviceware to keep our James River clean. Translation: smaller carbon footprint, fewer trash bags on wrap day, and a greener set your location manager will love.
So the next time your production assistant is Googling “low-budget film catering near me” or “food truck catering for studios in Richmond,” send them our way. Best Food Trucks will match you with locally owned rigs that turn lunch into an experience—and give back to the city that makes your shoot possible.

Food was good, chicken sandwiches were large, but underseasoned. Buffalo wasn't spicy at all and blackened just needed some more. My daughter did say it's the best burger she ever had and that's all she wants to eat

I probably would not have gotten the mac and cheese bites if i knew there would be thyme in them. That's on me though, and now I know for next time. Really well-seasoned burger and I liked the normal mac that was on it!

Be attentive to ordering apps, so that food is ready in a fair amount of time. And, have To-Go packaging ready for safe transport.

Fresher ingredients. The tomatoes was kinda not fresh - like the skin was separating from the flesh. Maybe more veggies, as well. Overall it was good.
