Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Portland, Maine Studio Set

Running a shoot in the Old Port, along the Eastern Prom, or out at Thompson’s Point? Best Food Trucks delivers premiere food truck catering for studio productions in Portland, ME. We’ve spent years feeding film and TV crews, so we know how to keep a hungry set on schedule and on budget.

Our local Portland partners let you build rotating daily menus that match the vibe of each production day. Serve classic seaside fare with Mainely Hotdogs, comfort-food favorites from PB&ME, delicate sweet or savory treats from Crepe Elizabeth, crispy chicken perfection via Frozen Rooster, or Mediterranean street eats from Lucky Lou's Portland. With options like these, even your most persnickety talent and crew will come back for seconds.

Here’s how we make studio food truck catering in Portland, ME effortless:

  • Design customized, rotating menus for multi-day shoots.
  • Scout and secure the best service locations—whether that’s a Back Cove parking lot or a rural set upstate.
  • Provide online ordering and timed pickup so meal breaks move as fast as a Casco Bay tide.
  • Verify every vendor’s permits, insurance, and food-safety certifications.
  • Deliver clear cost summaries and real-time budget tracking.
  • Minimize waste with eco-friendly packaging and right-sized portions.

From pre-dawn call times to midnight “martini” shots, our curated fleet keeps cast and crew fueled with fresh, hot meals—no cold lobster rolls here unless you order them that way. Let Best Food Trucks handle the catering details so you can focus on capturing Portland’s iconic lighthouses, brick alleys, and rugged coastline on camera.

Fueling Portland’s Creative—and Local—Economy

Every time you book studio food truck catering in Portland, ME, you’re feeding more than cast and crew—you’re feeding the heartbeat of our city. Most Portland food trucks are owner-operated micro-kitchens, often run by the same families you’ll see shopping at the Saturday Farmers’ Market in Deering Oaks or cheering on the Sea Dogs at Hadlock Field. Your catering dollars circle right back into the peninsula, from produce grown in Gorham and Windham to fresh rolls baked on Commercial Street.

Choosing a food truck also keeps your production’s carbon footprint as small as a Mackworth Island loop. Trucks use compact, high-efficiency equipment and serve in recyclable or compost-ready containers that meet Portland’s Green Packaging ordinance. Less power draw than a traditional craft-services kitchen, fewer trash bags heading to ecomaine—everyone wins.

So the next time you Google “low-budget film catering near me” while lighting a scene on Congress Square or setting up a drone shot over Bug Light, remember: a Best Food Trucks vendor delivers hot, memorable meals, supports Portland’s small-business community, and treats Casco Bay as carefully as you do your final cut. That’s a wrap worth applauding.

I probably would not have gotten the mac and cheese bites if i knew there would be thyme in them. That's on me though, and now I know for next time. Really well-seasoned burger and I liked the normal mac that was on it!

Be attentive to ordering apps, so that food is ready in a fair amount of time. And, have To-Go packaging ready for safe transport.

Fresher ingredients. The tomatoes was kinda not fresh - like the skin was separating from the flesh. Maybe more veggies, as well. Overall it was good.
