Food Truck Catering
Catering in Beverly, MA
Sometime around late afternoon in Beverly, when the harbor light flattens and the day starts winding down, the smell of smoked meat has a way of pulling people off their usual path. Smokin Zo's runs on that same unhurried clock — brisket that's been going since before sunrise, ribs that don't rush, pulled pork coaxed low and slow until the bark sets just right. This is food built for the kind of place Beverly actually is: a working North Shore city with a real appetite and enough waterfront air to make everything taste a little better.

What We Cater in Beverly, MA
Beverly moves at its own pace — not the frantic tempo of downtown Boston, but not sleepy either. There are students between classes, families finishing a weekend walk, crews wrapping a long shift, and neighbors who just want something genuinely satisfying without making a production of it. Smoked BBQ fits that rhythm naturally: it's hearty enough to be a meal worth talking about, and warm enough to feel like someone put real time into it, because they did.

Venues & Event Locations
The Bennett Athletic and Recreation Center draws a steady crowd of people who've already earned their hunger by the time they walk out the door — the kind of crowd that knows the difference between food and fuel, and wants both at once. Over at Gordon College, the mix of campus life and community events creates moments where a BBQ truck parked nearby stops being a convenience and starts being the best part of the afternoon. And on the nights when North Shore Music Theatre has a show, the energy around Beverly spills out in every direction — those pre-curtain and post-performance hours are exactly when slow-smoked brisket and a warm evening feel like they were made for each other.
Massachusetts does not have health or fire reciprocity — each local jurisdiction issues its own food-truck permits.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Beverly.
Smokin Zo's and our local partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.

Simon
Food Truck Booking Agent
Hands-on food truck experience, billing awareness, and event-tested operational perspective.
A decade in catering shaped how Simon plans BBQ built for real events, with 3 years leading prep kitchens behind 7 years of hands-on truck work, including buying and prepping for up to ten trucks a day to keep hundreds of guests fed with smoked favorites. That background includes recurring Southwest Airlines service for roughly 1,200 employees per event alongside brand work for Kroger, Amazon, and FedEx, plus a fall festival that jumped from about 100 guests to nearly 300, where Simon drove back for extra inventory so ticket times and food quality never slipped. His fire-safety know-how and feel for line-speed help him plan BBQ service that keeps the event moving, no matter how the guest count shifts.
- Worked across 1,000+ events and commissary operations
- Strong on billing, event flow, and booking support
Simon will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
