Catering in Colchester, VT
Smoke curls up through cold Vermont air, and suddenly the whole crowd at the gathering leans in — that's the unmistakable pull of real low-and-slow BBQ doing exactly what it was born to do. Colchester knows how to come together, and when it does, the food has to be worth the occasion. Smokin Zo's brings the bark, the smoke ring, the fall-apart brisket, and the kind of pulled pork that makes people forget they were ever cold.

Venues & Event Locations
Heritage Park is the kind of wide-open green space that was practically designed with a BBQ truck in mind — crowds spill across the lawn and suddenly every picnic table has a purpose. Over at the Community College of Vermont, campus events have discovered that smoky ribs and pulled pork do more for attendance than any email blast ever could. The McCarthy Arts Center draws audiences already primed for something memorable, and Smokin Zo's has a way of making the pre-show tailgate feel like the headline act.
Vermont has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Vermont jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.
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.
