Food Truck Catering
Catering in Charlton, MA
Spend any time in Charlton and you notice that the town's best moments happen outdoors, around people, with no particular rush — the same conditions under which great barbecue becomes something more than a meal. Smokin Zo's is built for exactly that register: patient craft, generous portions, and the kind of backyard-cookout warmth that scales gracefully to a large event without losing any of its character. From the first slice of brisket to the last rib, every plate reflects the hours of smoke and care that went into it.

Venues & Event Locations
Prindle Lake Park draws the kind of crowd that lingers — families, reunion groups, and community organizations who want a full afternoon around a proper meal, and the open-air setting there rewards a service that fills the air with woodsmoke. Bemis Memorial Park carries a similar civic energy, a green space that has hosted its share of town celebrations and benefits from a food program guests remember. For events drawing guests who are staying over, the Old Sturbridge Inn & Reeder Family Lodges provides a setting where a well-executed barbecue service becomes the centerpiece of the whole visit rather than an afterthought.
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 Town of Charlton.
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.
