Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Richmond, VA

From packed concerts on Brown’s Island to Saturday tailgates outside the Siegel Center, the River City knows how to throw a party—and Richmonders expect great food while they celebrate. Forget the old-school tent kitchens that needed generators, permits, and hours of set-up. Modern food truck catering brings fully self-contained, health-inspected kitchens right to your venue, ready to serve thousands in minutes.

Best Food Trucks has become the go-to source for large-scale event catering in RVA because we handle every detail: routing trucks, ensuring menu variety, coordinating service windows, and processing all payments. Whether you’re planning the Richmond Folk Festival, a sold-out race weekend at Richmond Raceway, or a corporate field day at Byrd Park, we’ll curate an on-site “food court” your guests will rave about.

Craving local flavor? We partner with some of the city’s favorite rolling kitchens:

  • Fantabulous Chef Service LLC – Southern comfort classics that taste like they came straight from grandma’s Manchester kitchen.
  • Curbside Creations – RVA-inspired burgers, fries, and handhelds perfect for feeding crowds on the Capitol Square lawn.
  • Shakedown Eats – Farm-fresh American comfort food that keeps Carytown shoppers coming back for seconds.
  • Noahsrockinbuns – Pillowy bao and chef-driven Asian bites that fit right in at the Richmond Night Market.
  • Latin Quarter – Tropical Caribbean favorites that bring a little Shockoe Bottom salsa to every plate.

Gourmet or casual, vegan or BBQ, we can mix and match trucks so every attendee leaves full and happy. Plus, our digital ordering system lets guests skip the line—essential when you’re serving 5,000 VCU alumni or an entire marathon crowd along the James.

Ready to elevate your next large event with Richmond’s best food truck catering? Contact Best Food Trucks today and let’s get rolling!

Swap Meet catering

Skip the line, Richmond — enjoy the Large-Scale Event!

Best Food Trucks pairs Richmond’s favorite rolling kitchens with a lightning-fast online ordering system, so your guests can spend their time cheering, dancing, or networking instead of standing in a 30-minute line. From a packed First Fridays art walk on Broad Street to a high-energy playoff watch party at City Stadium, attendees simply pull out their phone, browse every truck’s menu, and tap to order. A text alerts them the moment their “RVA Cuban” or peach-wood-smoked brisket is ready for pick-up.

Hosting an early-morning trail race along the James River Park System or a sunset concert at the recently revamped Riverfront? Send out a pre-order link days in advance so runners, roadies, and volunteers can lock in a specific pick-up time before the gates even open. Our proprietary platform is built to handle thousands of simultaneous orders—no crashes, no bottlenecks—making it the perfect companion to large-scale food truck catering in Richmond.

Food trucks for large events plus online ordering equals happier crowds, faster service, and bigger smiles in the River City. Let Best Food Trucks keep the focus on your event while we serve up the exceptional eats!

I like both pizzas, especially the one with mushroom, cheese, carm onion, and arugula with truffle oil. Also being able to pre-order ahead, service was fast. Thank you!

Delicious and PROMPT! Such a refreshing change from most trucks that start 20 to 40 minutes late. Awesome job have them back!

The Ahi Tuna Roll was quite delicious and surprisingly substantial without being too heavy. I recommend picking a fork with it. Wraps never survive in one piece.

Everything. Only recommendation would be to have regular tartar sauce for catfish along with the sauce it comes with.
