Fresh, Local Rhode Island Food Truck Catering for Your Studio
Whether you’re shooting a period drama in Newport’s gilded mansions, grabbing B-roll along Providence’s Riverwalk, or staging a late-night scene in Pawtucket’s historic mills, Best Food Trucks delivers hot, customizable meals right where your crew needs them. Our on-set food truck catering in Rhode Island is built for the fast pace of film production: rotating daily menus, staggered service windows, and lightning-quick pickup that keeps cameras rolling and talent happy.
From morning call times fueled by The Burgundian: Coffee and Waffles to golden-hour bites of award-winning barbecue from No Joke Smoke BBQ, we showcase the Ocean State’s best mobile kitchens. Craving artisan donuts? Black Dog Donuts has you covered. Need comfort food that keeps the crew smiling through night shoots? Fancheezical melts up gourmet grilled cheese, while Le Smoking BBQ brings the smoke for wrap-party feasts.
Our Rhode Island studio catering team handles everything—site logistics along the I-95 corridor, vendor vetting for permits and insurance, eco-friendly packaging, and a clear cost analysis that stays on budget. With fewer disposables and minimal food waste, our food truck solutions are as sustainable as they are delicious. Let Best Food Trucks take the mealtime guesswork off your call sheet so you can focus on getting the perfect shot.
Supporting Small Businesses
Booking Rhode Island food truck catering for your studio set isn’t just a tasty idea—it’s a direct investment in the Ocean State’s small-business community. The trucks that roll up to your Providence soundstage or Newport cliff-side shoot are run by local families who source ingredients from Hope & Main startups in Warren, shellfish co-ops on Narragansett Bay, and farms out in Little Compton. Every grilled cheese, donut, and bowl of chowder you order keeps money circulating right here in Rhode Island.
Food trucks also shrink the carbon footprint of your production. Because the kitchen travels to you, there’s no need for disposable hotel pans, chafing fuel, or box-truck deliveries clogging I-295. Many of our partner trucks run on biodiesel, compost their prep scraps, and serve with compostable serviceware—choices that protect the very coastline your B-roll drone shots love to capture.
So the next time you type “low-budget film catering near me in Rhode Island,” remember that Best Food Trucks can feed your cast and crew while championing the local economy and the environment. Tap us in, keep the cameras rolling, and taste why supporting small businesses never looked—or filmed—so good.

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard
