Film Set Food Truck Catering
Hot, Fresh and On the Production's Clock
Crews remember the days the food was good. Food Trucks Catering by Tin Lizzy Concessions brings food trucks directly to your lot, studio or location — a crew treat, a craft-service alternative, or a full hot meal service that runs on the production's schedule, not ours.
The difference from standard catering is freshness and speed. Instead of trays holding in a warmer, your crew orders at the window and eats food cooked to order — burgers off the grill, fresh-cut fries and poutine from the fryer, mini donuts made in front of them. Our fair-season crews serve thousands a day at the Calgary Stampede, Edmonton K-Days, the Regina Exhibition and the PNE, so a high-volume break for a crew of 100+ is a comfortable, well-rehearsed service.
Built Around Production Hours
- Scheduled break service — tell us when the break is called and how long it runs; trucks are set, staffed and serving when the crew arrives
- Early call times and night shoots — we schedule around production hours, including pre-dawn setups and late-night second-meal service
- Multiple trucks, one call — burgers, poutine, grilled cheese, mini donuts, bubble tea and more, plus partner trucks for tacos (Los Tacos Hermanos) and Greek (G's Donairs) for variety across a long shoot
- Crew treats — a mini donut truck for an afternoon pick-me-up or a wrap-day thank-you is one of the best morale buys on a production budget
The Production-Friendly Lineup
- Mini donuts — the flagship crew treat; fresh bags move fast through a big crew
- Burgers — beef, cheese, bacon cheese, chicken, veggie and vegan, with gluten-free lettuce wraps
- Poutine and fresh-cut fries — uncoated fries are gluten-free; gravy is vegetarian
- Grilled cheese and mac & cheese — comfort food that lands well on cold night shoots
- Hot dogs, tornado potato, fish and chips — fast, filling, high-throughput options
- Bubble tea, lemonade and shaved ice — refreshment for summer locations
Dietary coverage is built in rather than handled as special requests. Mini donut mix contains wheat, milk, soy, egg and barley; the donuts are vegetarian and peanut free.
Where We Work
Based in Port Coquitlam, we regularly serve productions across Metro Vancouver, the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley — including the studio and production hubs in Burnaby and Vancouver, and location shoots from North Vancouver to Langley and Surrey. Trucks are fully self-contained; we are licensed and insured, and have operated since 1995.
Booking and Production Paperwork
We are invoice and purchase-order friendly, work directly with production coordinators and accounting, and confirm dates, call times and menus in writing. Multi-day and recurring bookings across a shoot are welcome.
Film set catering is booked to a minimum spend of $1,500–$2,200 plus tax and 15% gratuity, depending on the day and season. The minimum is not an extra fee — it is the amount your order needs to reach, and everything served counts toward it. Short-notice requests are worth a call; our schedule often has room.
