Portland, ME Studio Catering: Piping-Hot, Fully Custom Meals on Your Schedule

Whether you’re filming a winter scene on Commercial Street or blocking out a sunrise shot near Portland Head Light, your crew still needs to eat—fast. Best Food Trucks has spent years feeding production teams, and now we’re bringing that expertise to every soundstage and back-lot in Portland, Maine. From Casco Bay to the Old Port, we handle the entire food truck catering process so your AD can keep the call sheet tight and your talent stays happy.

We’ll work hand-in-hand with your production office to build rotating daily menus, pinpoint the perfect curb space for service (yes, we know which streets allow a 26-footer), streamline pre-orders and walk-ups, verify permits & COIs, and deliver a crystal-clear cost breakdown that keeps you on budget. Food truck catering isn’t just convenient—it slashes food and packaging waste, helping keep our beloved Pine Tree State green.

Need local flavor? Check out some Portland favorites we frequently book for studio lots:

  • PB&ME – American comfort classics that turn a simple peanut-butter sandwich into crew-fueling magic.
  • Mainely Hotdogs – Accessory items and artisan dogs perfect for a quick bite between takes.
  • Lucky Lou's Portland – Authentic Greek street food like gyros and souvlaki, ideal for warming up a chilly Back Cove night shoot.
  • Frozen Rooster – Hand-crafted ice cream to keep morale high when the lights are burning late.
  • Maine-ly Meatballs – Hearty meatball subs and bowls that satisfy even the grumpiest gaffer.

Let Best Food Trucks remove the mealtime stress so you can focus on capturing that perfect shot of the sunrise over Peaks Island. When it comes to studio food truck catering in Portland, ME, we’ve got the script—and the seasoned grills—ready to roll.

On Location Catering catering

Fueling Portland’s Indie Economy

Booking a food truck for your studio shoot isn’t just the tastiest decision on set—it’s a vote for Portland’s tight-knit community of makers. Nearly every truck that pulls up outside your soundstage is owned by a Munjoy Hill neighbor, a Deering Center family, or a culinary grad who cut their teeth at the Portland Farmers’ Market. Your catering dollars circulate right back into Cumberland County, keeping the wharves busy and the sidewalks along Congress Street vibrant.

Food trucks are also one of the most sustainable catering options available. Because they cook to order in compact kitchens, they burn far less propane and electricity than a conventional craft-services build-out, and they roll away with minimal single-use packaging. That means fewer trash runs to ecomaine and a lighter carbon footprint drifting over Casco Bay.

So the next time the production coordinator types “studio food truck catering Portland ME” or “low-budget film catering near me” into their phone, send them our way. Best Food Trucks will connect you with the local rolling restaurants that keep Portland delicious, green, and camera-ready.

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!

Was impressed that my pre ordered pizzas were ready within just a few minutes of my requested time. The whole process of preordering was super easy and the pizzas were hot and delicious.

Food was very good. Portion sizes were huge! Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Ran into some quality issues near the end. Cheesesteaks coming out burned. Maybe the grill was too hot or dirty? One allergy request not followed. Overall a good experience. I would recommend having condiments available. Would hire again!!

Online ordering says burger has tomato and pepper jack cheese. No tomatoes and American cheese. Asked for BBQ sauce with an item and didn't receive. Plastic forks, knives would be nice but good food at good price
