Food Truck Catering
Catering in Colchester, CT
Pulled pork doesn't rush, and neither does Colchester — the town has always been the kind of place where people linger in parks and open fields and actually talk to each other. Smokin Zo's shows up with the BBQ that belongs in that picture: slow-smoked, bark-deep, genuinely hearty. The smoke ring doesn't lie, and neither does the crowd that forms around it.

Venues & Event Locations
Mooween State Park has the open clearings and the relaxed energy that make a BBQ truck feel like the obvious next step after a morning on the trails. The Old Cardillo Property offers the kind of open-air setting where the smell of smoked brisket carries and the line forms before you've finished setting up. And at the Russell Mercier Senior Center, Smokin Zo's brings that backyard-cookout warmth indoors — the kind of meal that turns a community event into something people actually remember.
Connecticut 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 Colchester.
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.
