Fueling Hartford’s Creative Economy

Every time you book food truck catering for a Hartford studio set, you’re putting dollars right back into the city’s tight-knit community of makers. Most of the trucks that pull up to the curb on Trumbull Street or park outside the historic Colt Armory are owned by solo chefs, family teams, and first-generation entrepreneurs who grew up right here in the Capital City. Your catering budget helps them hire local staff, source produce from Connecticut farms, and keep Hartford’s culinary scene vibrant.

Food trucks aren’t just neighbor-friendly—they’re planet-friendly. Because our kitchens are fully contained on wheels, we draw less power than a traditional craft-services build-out and generate far fewer single-use supplies. Many Hartford trucks have already swapped to compostable serviceware and bio-diesel generators, so your production can shrink its footprint while shooting along the Connecticut River or inside the vast Riverfront Studios soundstage.

Looking for “low-budget film catering in Hartford” that still delivers five-star flavor? Best Food Trucks connects you with the city’s most creative rolling restaurants, giving your cast and crew something new to crave every day—without blowing the budget or the schedule.

Good size pizza, tasty pies. Cauliflower crust was good. Hard to have a hot pizza by the time we walked home.

It was a perfect combo of flavors with the right amount of spice and it had lots of chicken and veggies. (Spicy basil w/ rice)

Some of the best barbecue I have had. Hands down the best food I have had from a food truck. The Mac and cheese was delicious and the portions were large!

Only suggestion is not to use aluminum foil wrapping before it's cut. There were small pieces of aluminum in the burrito, which is not good to eat.

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! 😃

All of the food was delicious. We just moved from Chicago a year ago and it was a nice taste of home!
