Portland, ME Studio Catering – Hot, Customizable Meals Right On Schedule

From sunrise shoots on the Eastern Promenade to late-night wrap parties in the Old Port, our Portland, Maine studio partners count on Best Food Trucks for reliable, crowd-pleasing food truck catering. We’ve spent years coordinating meals for film and TV crews, so we know that a perfectly timed lunch can keep a production running as smoothly as a Casco Bay Ferry.

Our local team will work with you to design rotating daily menus, determine the optimal parking spot on your lot (or nearby Back Cove if you’re filming exterior scenes), streamline online ordering & pickup, and vet every vendor for permits and insurance required by the City of Portland. Before the first take, you’ll receive a detailed cost analysis that fits your production budget—no surprise charges, just delicious meals.

Food truck catering minimizes food and packaging waste, which means fewer trash runs and a greener set for Maine’s beautiful coastline. Let Best Food Trucks handle the culinary logistics for your studio so you can focus on getting the shot, not the sandwiches.

Some of the Portland food trucks ready to feed your cast and crew include:

  • PB&ME – American comfort classics with a creative peanut-butter twist.
  • Mainely Hotdogs – Accessorized hot dogs that give “Maine-ly” a whole new meaning.

  • Frozen Rooster – Crispy fried chicken guaranteed to keep energy high between takes.

Supporting Portland’s Small Businesses

Choosing food truck catering for your Portland, ME studio set isn’t just the tastiest decision you’ll make—it’s a direct investment in our city’s small-business community. Every truck we send is owned and operated by local families from neighborhoods like Munjoy Hill, Woodford’s Corner, and across the bridge in Knightville. Many of them stock their kitchens with produce straight from the Portland Farmers’ Market at Deering Oaks, fresh seafood hauled in from Casco Bay, and breads baked that very morning on Commercial Street. When your cast and crew dig into those lobster rolls or maple-glazed whoopie pies, every dollar stays right here in the 207.

Food trucks also keep your production eco-friendly. Mobile kitchens use less energy than a traditional commissary, and most of our Portland vendors serve meals in compostable or recyclable containers—helping to protect Back Cove, Fort Gorges, and the rest of our stunning coastline from excess waste. Smaller carbon footprint, bigger flavor: that’s a win-win for any shoot.

Next time you’re searching “low-budget film catering near me” while blocking a scene on Congress Street or rolling an exterior at Thompson’s Point, call Best Food Trucks. We’ll line up socially responsible, studio-savvy vendors that make mealtime the easiest scene of the day—no retakes required.

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!
