Hot, Customizable Meals for Richmond Studios—Delivered Right on Set!
Filming along the James River, setting up lights on Brown’s Island, or shooting B-roll in Shockoe Bottom? Best Food Trucks makes studio catering in Richmond simple, fast, and downright delicious. Our team has years of experience feeding film and TV crews, so we understand the tight call sheets, ever-changing head counts, and picky actor diets that come with production life.
We partner with top RVA food trucks—like Fantabulous Chef Service LLC, Curbside Creations, Noahsrockinbuns, Shakedown Eats, and Latin Quarter—to build rotating daily menus that keep everyone excited for meal break. From Southern-style comfort plates to steamed bao buns and island-inspired jerk chicken, we’ve got every craving covered.
Here’s how we keep your Richmond studio running on time and on budget:
- Scouting and reserving optimal truck parking at Main Street Station, Carytown backlots, or any location your production needs.
- Streamlined online ordering so crew members can grab their breakfast biscuit or late-night rice bowl without waiting in line.
- Full vendor vetting—every truck carries the proper City of Richmond permits, liability insurance, and ServSafe certifications.
- Transparent cost summaries and real-time spend tracking, ideal for producers managing tight budgets.
- Eco-friendly service that slashes food waste and single-use plastics compared to traditional craft services.
Whether you’re shooting an indie short near VCU or a network series in the historic Fan District, let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime so you can stay focused on getting the perfect shot. Book your Richmond studio food truck catering today and taste why crews all over RVA ask for us by name.
Keep Richmond’s Small Businesses Rolling
Every time your production books a truck through Best Food Trucks, Richmond’s independent culinary scene gets a little more screen time. Almost every rig we send to your set is owned by a Shockoe Slip chef, a Northside family, or a former restaurateur from Church Hill—real RVA neighbors whose livelihoods depend on wheels and word-of-mouth.
Instead of wiring money to a national craft-services conglomerate, your studio-catering budget circulates right back into the local economy—from the South of the James Farmers Market vendors who supply the produce to the diesel mechanics on Hull Street who keep these mobile kitchens road-ready.
Food trucks are also the greener pick for Richmond studios. Self-contained kitchens draw less power than rows of sternos and chafing dishes, and our compostable serviceware helps keep Belle Isle and the James River pristine by cutting landfill waste.
So the next time the A.D. shouts, “Cue meal break!” and you start typing “low-budget film catering near me,” remember: the most flavorful, socially responsible option is already parked outside your soundstage. Book your Richmond studio food-truck catering with Best Food Trucks and feed your crew while you fuel RVA’s small-business community.

The empanada and chicken bowl was delicious. I loved the green sauce, rice and beans that were included.

It was the best gluten-free pizza I've had since New York City and the chocolate Dubai dessert was amazing. I hope they come to Starkey ranch again soon!!

Once home, we discovered that we weren't given the broth that was to accompany the Birrias or the sauce and limes that were to accompany the tacos. Disappointing...
