Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Hartford
From Riverfront Recapture concerts to UConn basketball watch-parties outside the XL Center, Hartford knows how to draw a crowd—and Hartford crowds expect great food. Traditional tent kitchens on the Mortensen Riverfront or in Bushnell Park need extra permits, generators, and hours of setup. Modern food trucks, on the other hand, roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens and start serving in minutes.
Best Food Trucks makes large-scale food truck catering in Hartford simple. Whether you’re planning a festival on Pratt Street, a corporate field day at Dunkin’ Park, or a tailgate for Trinity College football, we’ll curate a lineup of trucks that can handle thousands of hungry guests without the long lines. Guests can order ahead on their phones, explore multiple cuisines, and enjoy the Capital City vibe while they wait.
Check out a few local favorites we regularly book for Hartford events:
- Craving Potato Factory – over-stuffed loaded baked potatoes piled high with lump crab, steak, tofu and more. Perfect comfort food when the autumn leaves turn in Elizabeth Park.
- Wing It On Wheels – the city’s own Buffalo-style wing specialists, ideal for XL Center hockey nights or any crowd that bleeds blue and white.
- Lucan's Grill – authentic Jamaican jerk and island classics that heat up even the chilliest winter fest on Constitution Plaza.
- Repicci's Italian Ice & Gelato of New Haven – sweet, refreshing treats that turn a summer show at Xfinity Theatre into a little taste of the Amalfi Coast.
- South9 Foodtruck – crowd-pleasing American comfort staples that satisfy picky eaters at large charity 5Ks along the Connecticut River.
With Best Food Trucks coordinating your vendor schedule, power requirements, and health permits, you can focus on entertainment and ticket sales. Reach out today and discover why we’re Hartford’s top choice for food truck catering at large events!
Skip the Line and Soak Up the Hartford Energy!
Nothing kills the vibe of a Bushnell Park festival or a sold-out concert on the Riverfront faster than a 40-minute food line. That’s why Best Food Trucks pairs its large-scale event food truck catering in Hartford with a lightning-fast online ordering system. Guests simply scan a QR code, browse every truck’s menu on their phone, and check out in seconds. When their fried mac from South9 or jerk chicken from Lucan’s is ready, they’ll get a text—no need to hover by the window or clog up the Pratt Street foot traffic.
Planning a UConn watch-party outside the XL Center? Send fans a pre-order link so their wings are hot and waiting at tip-off. Hosting a corporate field day at Dunkin’ Park? Our platform easily absorbs thousands of simultaneous orders, keeping employees on the lawn games instead of in a queue.
Hartford traffic might back up on I-84, but lines at your event never will. Combine food trucks + online ordering and give your attendees more time to cheer, dance, and explore Connecticut’s Capital City while still enjoying exceptional eats.

The brisket was excellent. I was disappointed that the Mac n cheese that I ordered was out but was pleased with the fries. They were hot and fresh.

The food was very good. The food truck staff were super kind and did their best to keep up with the inundation of orders. The BFT app told me that my order was ready; however, I had to wait at the truck (with many other customers) for well over an hour for my order. The communication dependability between BFT and the customer needs to improve drastically.

They forgot to put the nacho toppings on top of the chips for my dad so he had to go back so he wasn't just eating plain chips when steak nachos were ordered. The quesabirria though was very tasty!

Food was good but the service was lacking. I placed a preorder for 5:25pm. I received an email at 5:25pm that my order was ready. I went to pick it up and finally got my order at 6:30 pm and that was after having to remind the crew what I ordered and paid for one hour and 45 minutes earlier. They evidently lost my order.

I don't think it's them, there seems to be an issue with receiving notification when our orders are done it's everytime we have ordered through BFT

Everything was great, but the cannolis were empty in the middle. They were tasty though, just wish they were filled more.

The pizza is too expensive for the size. Delicious but too small. Didn't like the garlic knots too much, tasted like pretzel dough.

I left a note to put sauce on side and it was on the tenders. I ordered ahead and there wasn't a option for no sauce
