Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Portland, ME Studio Set!

From feature films shooting on the historic cobblestones of the Old Port to indie productions capturing sunrise over Back Cove, Best Food Trucks is Portland’s top choice for food truck catering for studio crews. Decades in the business have taught us how to keep cast and crew happy, on-schedule, and well-fed—even during those brisk Maine mornings on Munjoy Hill.

Our local team partners with you to craft rotating daily menus, pinpoint the best lot or curbside spot for service, and streamline mobile ordering so everyone can grab a hot meal and get back to the camera. We vet every vendor for the right insurance and City of Portland permits, then deliver a clear cost breakdown that fits your production budget. Plus, food trucks slash food and packaging waste—perfect for eco-minded crews filming along Casco Bay.

Choose from hometown favorites like creamy comfort classics from PB&ME, steamy buns at Mainely Hotdogs, sweet & savory treats from Crepe Elizabeth, vegan fried delights via Fred's Fried Dough, or crispy chicken sandwiches from Frozen Rooster. Whatever your call sheet demands—breakfast, lunch, second meal, or a late-night wrap party—we have a truck that fits the scene.

Let Best Food Trucks handle the logistics of studio catering in Portland, ME, so you can focus on capturing that perfect shot.

On Location Catering catering

Fueling Portland’s Studio Sets—and Its Small Businesses

Booking food truck catering for Studio productions in Portland, ME does more than fill call-sheet bellies—it keeps our city’s celebrated indie food scene thriving. Every lobster-roll wagon parked on Marginal Way or taco trailer pulled up beside Thompson’s Point is owned by a local family, a UNH culinary grad, or a former line cook chasing the Casco Bay breeze. When your crew orders lunch, those dollars stay right here on the peninsula, circulating from Monument Square farmers’ markets to late-night prep kitchens in South Portland.

Sustainability matters on set, and Portland crews know it. Food trucks run lean kitchens that sip less power than traditional craft-service buffets and rely on EcoMaine-approved compostables to keep waste out of Back Cove. It’s a perfect match for productions that tout green credentials while filming under the wind turbines of Bayside.

So the next time you Google “low-budget film catering near me” or “studio food trucks Portland ME,” remember that Best Food Trucks connects you directly to the city’s hardest-working mobile chefs. Support local, shrink your footprint, and serve meals your gaffer will rave about long after the final wrap.

Easy to work with, good communication and great food

The food was very good. The food truck staff were super kind and did their best to keep up with the inundation of orders. The BFT app told me that my order was ready; however, I had to wait at the truck (with many other customers) for well over an hour for my order. The communication dependability between BFT and the customer needs to improve drastically.

They forgot to put the nacho toppings on top of the chips for my dad so he had to go back so he wasn't just eating plain chips when steak nachos were ordered. The quesabirria though was very tasty!

Food was good but the service was lacking. I placed a preorder for 5:25pm. I received an email at 5:25pm that my order was ready. I went to pick it up and finally got my order at 6:30 pm and that was after having to remind the crew what I ordered and paid for one hour and 45 minutes earlier. They evidently lost my order.

I don't think it's them, there seems to be an issue with receiving notification when our orders are done it's everytime we have ordered through BFT

Everything was great, but the cannolis were empty in the middle. They were tasty though, just wish they were filled more.

The pizza is too expensive for the size. Delicious but too small. Didn't like the garlic knots too much, tasted like pretzel dough.

Ordering was easy. Food was ready at the right time. Food was yummy. And the person on the truck was friendly.

I left a note to put sauce on side and it was on the tenders. I ordered ahead and there wasn't a option for no sauce
