On Location Catering catering

Fueling Wilmington’s Film Sets—and Its Small Businesses

Booking food trucks for your Wilmington studio set isn’t just a smart way to keep cast and crew happy—it’s a direct investment in the Port City’s economy. Nearly every truck we partner with is a family-run venture that started right here in New Hanover County, from a chef who honed recipes at Cape Fear Community College to a barbecue pitmaster who first served crowds at the Riverfront Farmers Market. Every meal you order keeps dollars circulating in Wilmington’s independent food scene instead of a far-away catering conglomerate.

Our mobile kitchens are also kinder to the coast. Because food trucks cook on-board, they use a fraction of the energy and single-use packaging required by traditional drop-off catering. Many of our vendors run on biodiesel and compostable serviceware—small choices that help protect Wrightsville Beach, Masonboro Island, and the Cape Fear watershed we all love.

So the next time you search “film crew catering in Wilmington NC” or “low-budget studio catering near me,” skip the bulky buffet trays and call Best Food Trucks. You’ll get hot, customizable meals on time, support local entrepreneurs, and keep our coastal playground green. That’s a wrap everyone can celebrate!

Comments from Inspira Senior VP: The staff loved it. The vendor even made sandwiches & waffles brought them to OR staff that couldn’t get to the truck. They came from Morris County in north jersey. Very pleasant & accommodating. Please let them know of the great service

Hire this truck for your event! I hired them with about two weeks notice for my 50th birthday party, and I’m so glad I did! Donnell was fantastic to work with in terms of planning, and the food was *all* amazing—my guests could not stop raving. They worked with me to do small portions of more items so that we could have a variety… I chose jerk chicken, salmon, wings, and chicken tenders as entrees, and sides included Rasta Pasta, rice and peas, cabbage, and Yummy Mac. Everything about the entire experience was highly organized and super friendly, including impeccable service on the night of the event! Yummy food, and fantastic friendly service-you can’t go wrong! 😃

One of the best pizzas around. I love the Grandma's pizza and the Bianca. By far the best Grandma's pizza in the area!

The Mac and cheese is delicious but those ribs were soooo good. The collards were spicy and that was unexpected but the food was overall delicious

The quesadilla was a little too wet for my liking. Sour cream on top also made it messy. No chocolate on churros was disappointing. Churros were really good though.
