Hot, Customizable Meals for Studio Sets in Portland, ME
Whether you’re filming a waterfront scene on the East End or shooting B-roll in the Old Port, your crew still needs to eat. Best Food Trucks has spent years perfecting studio food truck catering in Portland, ME, so your meal breaks run as smoothly as a take on the first try.
We’ll partner with your production team to build rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew excited—think creamy lobster mac from the PB&ME truck one day and gourmet crepes from Crepe Elizabeth the next. Need something quick between setups on Thompson’s Point? Mainely Hotdogs can roll in with piled-high dogs and all the fixings, while Frozen Rooster satisfies the fried-chicken fans. And when that late-night shoot on Congress Street wraps, reward everyone with cinnamon-sugar bliss from Fred's Fried Dough.
Our Portland team scouts the best service locations—Back Cove parking lots, private lots near the Jetport, or right outside your soundstage—then handles permitting, insurance verification, and crew meal tickets. Digital pre-ordering keeps lines short, and our post-service cost summary ensures you stay on budget.
Choosing food truck catering for studios also lightens your environmental footprint around Casco Bay: fewer disposable pans, less food waste, and reusable serviceware whenever possible. Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your Portland, ME studio production—so you can keep the cameras rolling and your crew smiling.
Fueling Portland’s Indie Economy—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking studio food truck catering in Portland, ME does more than keep your call sheet on schedule; it keeps cash flowing to the creative Mainers who make our city special. Every lobster roll slung from an East Bayside truck or whoopie pie served on Munjoy Hill is crafted by a family-run small business, not a national chain. When you roll a rig onto set, you’re putting money directly into the pockets of Portland chefs, mechanics, and farmers—from potato growers up in Aroostook to oyster harvesters in the cold waters of Casco Bay.
Food trucks also tread lightly on our beloved coastline. Compared with traditional drop-off catering, trucks sip less power, cook to order, and ditch the mountains of chafing-dish foil. Many of our local partners run on biodiesel, compost their prep scraps with Garbage to Garden, and serve with reusable baskets instead of single-use plastic. Sustainable eats, local jobs, happier crew—what’s not to love?
So the next time your production assistant types “low-budget film catering near me” while scrambling between takes on Fore Street, send them our way. Best Food Trucks will match you with a Portland, ME food truck that feeds your cast, supports the neighborhood economy, and keeps our Pine Tree State pristine for the sequel.

The whole meal! The burger was outstanding in look and taste, and the salt fries were great (love the crunch and meaty fry's)

The brisket was excellent. I was disappointed that the Mac n cheese that I ordered was out but was pleased with the fries. They were hot and fresh.

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
