Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Portland (ME) Studio Set
Whether your crew is filming a sunrise scene on the Eastern Prom or blocking out night shots in the Old Port, Best Food Trucks delivers studio food truck catering in Portland, ME that keeps everyone happy, on-schedule, and well-fed. Our local team has years of experience coordinating meals for film and TV productions all across Maine, so we know how to navigate narrow cobblestone streets, unpredictable coastal weather, and tight call sheets.
We’ll partner with you to build rotating daily menus that respect dietary needs—from vegan to lobster-lover—determine the most efficient service locations (Back Cove, Thompson’s Point, or right outside your soundstage), streamline online ordering and crew pickup, and verify that every vendor carries the proper city permits and insurance. You’ll also receive a clear cost summary and analysis that keeps your budget as trim as a Portland lighthouse. And because food truck catering produces far less food and packaging waste than traditional buffets, your production can fly the green “Dirigo” flag with pride.
Some crowd-pleasing Portland favorites we can roll onto your set include the gooey gourmet sandwiches of PB&ME, game-day classics from Mainely Hotdogs, sweet and savory fold-ups from Crepe Elizabeth, authentic Greek street eats at Lucky Lou's Portland, and dock-fresh fare prepared by Mobile Musette. Combine a few or rotate them through the week to keep cast and crew excited for every meal break.
Let Best Food Trucks handle the logistics of studio food truck catering for your Portland, ME production. From Munjoy Hill to the West End, we make mealtime the easiest scene of the day.
Supporting Portland’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking a food truck for your set doesn’t just keep your talent fueled between takes—it keeps Portland’s vibrant small-business scene rolling too. Most of our trucks are owned by local families who grew up cheering on the Sea Dogs, hiking Bradbury Mountain, and swapping recipes at the Portland Farmers’ Market. Every lobster roll or Falafel wrap your crew orders puts money back into the neighborhoods you’re filming in, from Bayside workshops to Deering garages where these rigs are lovingly maintained.
Food trucks are also a win for productions aiming to stay green. Compared with traditional buffet lines, trucks draw less power, cook to order, and leave behind far fewer half-empty chafers and disposable trays. Many of our Portland partners compost shellfish scraps, recycle fryer oil into biofuel, and stock Heritage Seaweed utensils made from local kelp. Choosing mobile kitchens keeps your carbon footprint as light as a Casco Bay breeze while still delivering hot, customizable meals on a tight shooting schedule.
So the next time your production assistant types “affordable film catering near me” into the search bar, skip the lukewarm deli platters and call Best Food Trucks. We’ll line up Portland’s finest rolling eateries and give your cast and crew a socially responsible—and seriously delicious—reason to look forward to meal break.

Food is 10/10. I look forward to ordering every time it's by the office. The staff working the truck are so kind too.

The crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)

The staff running the truck was amazing.. We had a lot of people bombard the truck after my mother’s services and they got people food quickly. They had their serving down. We would definitely hire them again.

We ordered the Chili Chicken Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, and an order of wings. Everything was delicious

The Buffalo Chicken Pizza was perfect and the Pepperoni with Bell Pepper was good. I personally had a problem with my veggie pizza, but it is really my fault because I guess the veggie pizza comes with Truffle Oil on it and either I didn't see that or I don't like Truffle Oil. So really the truck gets a 5.

It was fresh and delicious and phenomenal value at $15. I'll definitely eat there again next time they're at Peabody.
