Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Richmond Studio Set
From the cobblestone streets of Shockoe Slip to the bustling sound stages in Manchester, Richmond has become the “Hollywood on the James.” Best Food Trucks keeps those productions rolling with fast, reliable studio food truck catering in Richmond, VA.
Our local team works directly with production managers to build rotating daily menus, pinpoint the best service locations, and streamline online ordering so grips, gaffers, and talent can grab a hot meal in minutes—not hours. All vendors are fully vetted for City of Richmond and Commonwealth of Virginia permits and insurance, and we provide a detailed cost analysis that stays on budget while slashing food and packaging waste.
Want Richmond-style comfort food? Book Fantabulous Chef Service LLC, Curbside Creations, or Shakedown Eats. Craving something different for tomorrow’s call sheet? Treat the crew to bao buns and chef-driven Asian specialties from Noahsrockinbuns or turn lunch into a Caribbean getaway with Latin Quarter.
Whether you’re filming along the James River or lighting up a warehouse in Scott’s Addition, Best Food Trucks delivers hot, eco-friendly meals exactly when “quiet on the set” ends. Let us handle the catering so you can focus on the next shot.
Keep Your Production Local—Support RVA’s Small Businesses
Every time you book food truck catering for a Richmond studio shoot, you invest directly in the River City’s creative community. Most of the trucks on our roster are owned by Church Hill neighbors, Southside families, and VCU alumni who pour their time and talent into every empanada, kolache, or brisket slider they serve. Your crew gets chef-made meals on-site, and those dollars stay right here in Richmond—fueling more jobs, more ingredients from the 17th Street Farmers Market, and more growth for home-grown brands.
Choosing a food truck is also a win for the James River and the planet. Mobile kitchens run leaner than traditional caterers, use energy-efficient equipment, and rely on compostable service ware that keeps trash out of our parks and trails. In short, you get hot, customizable eats without the oversized carbon footprint.
So the next time your production assistant types “affordable film set catering in Richmond” into a search bar, skip the generic options and give Best Food Trucks a call. We’ll line up a locally owned truck that makes your budget, your crew, and your city proud.

We hosted an office party at a local park & had Good Hombres there to serve lunch. Everyone loved the food & the service that was provided. We will definitely use them again in the future!

Truck ran 30 mins late on our order and the meatballs tasted like they were previously frozen - they were a weird texture and not flavorful

The order was "on time" very generous amounts, the roll was toasted perfectly.( unexpected) the meat was so tender and tasty..the mac & cheese yummy, and the beans even had a piece of VERY tender bacon in it! DELICIOUS!

My sandwich was tasty! I didn't like that it had two different sizes of bread one substantially smaller. This caused the roast beef on one end to be dried out. It was a great sandwich and the chef was very friendly.

The Mac and cheese was fantastic 10/10 would get again. The peach lemonade is also lovely. They are such wonderful people too!

Plantain! Jerk chicken was fried crispy. Thought the jerk barbecue could have been a little spicier. Still very good

First time buying. The rice & vegetables were perfect! And the yum yum sauce added just the right "kick". The egg rolls were a bit skimpy on filling, but taste was fine.

Unfair question. It was salted perfectly, the pasta is perfect, everything was fantastic. The bread on the side was perfect to sop up the rest of the sauce.
