Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Portland, Maine Studio Set
Whether you’re filming a moody lobster-boat scene on Casco Bay or shooting B-roll along Congress Street, Best Food Trucks makes sure your Portland, ME studio crew never has to worry about what’s for lunch. Our local catering team partners with the city’s favorite food trucks—like PB&ME, Mainely Hotdogs, Crepe Elizabeth, Frozen Rooster, and Salty Boyz—so your cast and crew enjoy fast, flavor-packed meals without leaving the lot.
From American-comfort classics to sweet seaside crêpes, we’ll build rotating daily menus that keep energy high during long takes at Thompson’s Point or late-night shoots near the Old Port. Our Portland film crew catering specialists handle:
- Choosing the best on-site service locations—even the tight streets around Munjoy Hill.
- Streamlined online ordering and staggered pickup windows to keep production on schedule.
- Vendor vetting for Maine health permits, insurance, and union requirements.
- Detailed cost breakdowns that fit indie budgets and major studio blockbusters alike.
Food truck catering in Portland, ME also shrinks your shoot’s carbon footprint—less food waste, minimal packaging, and no idling vans hauling boxed lunches from South Portland. Let Best Food Trucks handle the mealtime logistics so you can focus on capturing that perfect sunrise over Portland Head Light.
Fueling Portland Productions—And Portland’s Small Businesses
Booking a food truck for your studio shoot isn’t just the tastiest way to keep everyone happy between takes—it’s a direct investment in Portland’s tight-knit community of makers and doers. Most of the rigs we roll onto set are owned by lifelong Mainers: former line-cooks from Fore Street, siblings who grew up shucking on Peaks Island, or pastry pros who perfected their whoopie pies at the Saturday Deering Oaks Farmers’ Market. Every lobster roll or falafel wrap sold on your lot sends real dollars back into neighborhood commissary kitchens, local farms, and boat crews hauling traps out past Fort Gorges.
Food trucks also fit perfectly with Portland’s green-leaning vibe. Their compact kitchens sip less electricity than a fleet of diesel box-lunch vans, and our vendors serve on compostable plates that can head straight to Garbage to Garden after you yell “cut.” Fewer delivery runs across Back Cove means a smaller carbon footprint for your production and cleaner sea breeze for the next crew filming on the Eastern Promenade.
So the next time you Google “studio food truck catering Portland Maine” or “low-budget film catering near me,” skip the standard deli platters. Let Best Food Trucks line up Portland’s favorite mobile kitchens and give your cast and crew a feel-good, flavor-packed meal that keeps the cameras—and the local economy—rolling.

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!

The pulled chicken is very good. I wanted no salt on my fries, and they had to redo them, but they did so with a smile.

The tacos are really good. My only complaint is on a few of the orders. I asked for no onions and no cilantro due to family members with onion allergies and onions are still on it that we had to take it. The food definitely taste good. I would just prefer more acknowledgment to what we were requested since it was an option.

Both pizza were delicious and had plenty of toppings! One of the best gluten free crusts I've ever had! Loved that you could order ahead and the texting feature to know pick up. Would love for them to come to the neighborhood again!

It was good chicken and fries. There was a lady who was sort of blocking the window from the outside who was thinking about what she wanted. When I went around her because my phone showed my order was ready I heard her acting like I had cut her. Like I had to ask her permission to try to pick up a take out order. So that was annoying.

The food was still warm . I had preordered. This helped with having the food ready instead of waiting for a long time. I liked the idea of the device they gave to us for pick up. The customer service was also pleasant.
