Hot, Customizable Meals for Richmond Studios
Filming on the cobblestone streets of Shockoe Slip or setting up lights in hip Scott’s Addition? Wherever your Richmond set lands, Best Food Trucks delivers fast, fresh food truck catering for studios in Richmond that keeps your cast and crew energized from first call to wrap.
Choose from RVA favorites like Fantabulous Chef Service LLC, Curbside Creations, and Shakedown Eats for hearty American comfort fare that grips and gaffers crave. Shake up the menu with pillowy Bao buns from Noahsrockinbuns or add a Caribbean kick with Latin Quarter. Daily rotation means no one gets menu fatigue during those long shoots on the James River.
Our Richmond studio catering team will:
- Design rotating menus that satisfy every dietary need—from vegan to “just give me more mac ’n’ cheese.”
- Scout the best parking spots near Pinewood Studios Richmond campus, Shockoe Bottom soundstages, and Manchester warehouses.
- Offer online ordering and timed pickup to keep meal breaks on schedule.
- Verify all vendor permits and insurance with the City of Richmond film office so you stay compliant.
- Provide detailed cost analysis that fits your production budget, cutting food and packaging waste in the process.
Whether it’s sunrise coffee on Brown’s Island or a midnight second meal outside the VMFA, Best Food Trucks takes the guesswork out of studio catering in Richmond—one less thing for you to worry about while you nail the perfect shot.
Fuel Richmond’s Creative Scene and Its Small Businesses
Every food truck you roll onto your set does more than feed hungry talent—it pumps dollars straight back into Richmond’s home-grown economy. Most RVA trucks are run by former restaurant chefs, VCU grads, and family teams who live in neighborhoods like Church Hill and Northside. Booking them means rent gets paid, kids stay in dance class, and another local dream keeps rolling.
Food trucks also sync perfectly with the city’s green goals. A single truck parked at your Shockoe Bottom soundstage draws far less power than a build-out buffet line, and on-truck prep slashes disposable pans and plastic. Many Richmond vendors compost through programs at Enrichmond Foundation and stock cups from Virginia-grown bamboo.
So the next time your production assistant Googles “low-budget film catering near me,” give Best Food Trucks a ring. We’ll match you with eco-minded, small-business owners who turn lunch on Lombardy Street or dinner outside the Movieland complex into a feel-good investment in RVA.

All food was great. Boom boom shrimp was especially good. Cook was understaffed but did a remarkable job under pressure. Kudos.

Friendly, family like service and delicious pasta! I also appreciate the dressing for the Caesar salad being put on the side, so salad does not get soggy.

Amazing burgers and great value! True smash burger that gives that burger feel. Comeback sauce took it over the top 11/10

It was amazing! Loved the sauce and the chicken and how the chicken was prepared. Wish I had a few more veggies but otherwise loved it. Thanks

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.
