From dawn call times at Silvercup Studios in Queens to late-night shoots at Brooklyn Navy Yard, Best Food Trucks keeps New York productions fueled with the city’s best food truck catering. Our seasoned team has spent years coordinating food truck catering for studios across the five boroughs, so we know exactly how to satisfy a hungry film crew while keeping the schedule on track.

We’ll partner with your production office to build rotating, chef-driven menus that can handle last-minute script changes and persnickety eaters alike. Need crispy comfort food?

  • Vet every truck for NYC health permits, insurance, and union requirements
  • Provide transparent cost analyses that keep you on budget

On Location Catering catering

Fueling New York’s Indie Economy, One Truck at a Time

Hiring a food truck for your studio shoot doesn’t just keep the crew fed—it funnels real dollars back into the five boroughs. Most New York trucks are run by immigrant families, second-career chefs, and borough-born hustlers who cut their teeth on streets like 6th Avenue or Astoria’s Broadway. Every gyro, taco, or plant-based bowl sold on your set helps a local small business pay commissary rent, renew city permits, and stick around for the next overnight shoot.

Rolling kitchens are also kinder to the planet than traditional craft-service buffets. Compact generators sip far less power than a full build-out, and compostable serving ware means fewer trash runs to the Gowanus transfer station. In short, food truck catering for New York studios delivers hot meals with a lighter carbon footprint and a heavier dose of community spirit.

So the next time your production coordinator searches “low budget film catering near me in NYC,” point them to Best Food Trucks. We’ll line up licensed, insured, union-friendly vendors that turn mealtime into a moment of city-made magic—without blowing the budget.

This was my first time looking into getting a food truck on site to feed our employees. You guys made it very easy and so did Paul, with Doc E's BBQ! The food was delicious and everyone I talked to say the same! The portions were perfect and was a very easy process. I had the pulled pork with slaw on top for my first plate and then later on Paul gave us a pan of ribs that were phenomenal!

Food and service was excellent. Arrival of food truck was late. Driver wanted to come half hour earlier (11:30a) to event to prep but ended up showing an hour later (12:30p). Wasn’t able to feed some of my important guests. They missed out on some good food to catch a flight. For the amount of $$ paid, was hoping have event catered on time.
