Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Hartford, CT

From summer concerts on the Mortensen Riverfront Plaza to fall festivals in Bushnell Park, Hartford knows how to throw a party— and the food has to be as memorable as the skyline view from the Founders Bridge. Modern event planners across the Capital City are ditching old-school tent kitchens for the speed and flavor of self-contained food trucks. With fully equipped mobile kitchens, trucks roll in, serve fast, and roll out with zero fuss over extra permits or long teardown times.

Best Food Trucks coordinates a fleet of local favorites to keep guests happy at large-scale events like UConn basketball fan fests outside the XL Center, company picnics at Colt Park, or marathon finish-lines along Capitol Avenue. Whether you need gourmet comfort food or quick handheld bites, our roster covers every craving:

  • Craving Potato Factory – over-stuffed loaded baked potatoes piled high with lump crab, steak, turkey, or vegetarian tofu for that hearty New England appetite.
  • Wing It On Wheels – Hartford’s own Buffalo wing authority, serving championship-worthy sauces that make every Yard Goats game at Dunkin’ Park even hotter.
  • Lucan's Grill – authentic Jamaican jerk chicken, curry goat, and plantains bringing island vibes to Pratt Street block parties.
  • El Encanto Taino – Puerto Rican comfort classics like pernil and mofongo that turn Riverfront Recapture events into a fiesta.
  • Mi Amor Eats – street-style tacos, elote, and house-made salsas perfect for hungry crowds at Hartford Marathon race villages.

No matter if you’re feeding 300 craft-beer lovers at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade or 10,000 music fans at the Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz, Best Food Trucks scales effortlessly. We manage scheduling, health permits, and on-site logistics so you can focus on the entertainment. When it comes to food truck catering for large-scale events in Hartford, CT, one call to Best Food Trucks turns your guest list into a satisfied fan base.

Skip the Line at Hartford’s Biggest Gatherings

Whether it’s the crowds pouring out of the XL Center after a Huskies game or families staking out lawn space at the Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz, nobody comes to downtown Hartford hoping to spend half the night in a food line. Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system keeps the focus on the stage, the scoreboard, or the skyline— not on queuing for dinner.

Guests simply scan a QR code, choose from Hartford’s favorite food trucks, and pay right from their phone. When their lobster-mac grilled cheese or jerk chicken platter is ready, they get a text and stroll up to the truck—no elbow-to-elbow waiting on Trumbull Street or in Bushnell Park. It’s the perfect match for large-scale event catering in Hartford, CT, where high-volume service has to keep pace with high-energy crowds.

Planning ahead? Send a pre-order link along with the ticket confirmation for your Riverfront Recapture concert or Pratt Street block party. Attendees lock in a specific pickup time before the gates even open, and our platform throttles orders so every truck can fire on all cylinders. From 300 runners at the Hartford Marathon expo to 15,000 revelers at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, our system handles spikes in traffic without a hiccup.

Food truck catering for large-scale events in Hartford is easiest when great eats arrive as effortlessly as a text message. Pair Best Food Trucks’ online ordering with our fleet of local legends, and watch your guests enjoy the show— not the line.

Sarah's Triple S was a hit at the lunch event. They showed up on time, were friendly, and their cheeseburgers were especially a crowd pleaser. The vegetarian option was helpful to have and the sides were all delicious.

The hamburger meat is delicious. Only complaint is the special instructions were not followed to add extra pickles, but the taste made the difference

Onion rings were fabulous! Chicken as well great. Looking for a bit more variety of burgers besides just bigger or hotter.

The price was a little high. The gyro was delicious! I enjoyed it with side of fries and would buy it again. Would be nice if it came with ketchup for the fries - or even better liquid cheese :). Would love more menu options and more toppings offered for the burgers.
