Food Truck Catering
Catering in Danvers, MA
Smoke has a way of stopping people in their tracks — one whiff of brisket on the air and whatever anyone was doing before suddenly feels less important. That's the quiet superpower of a great BBQ truck, and it works just as well on a brisk New England afternoon in Danvers as it does anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon. Smokin Zo's brings low-and-slow craft — bark-crusted brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, pulled pork that's been earning its patience since before sunrise — to the events, campuses, and community spaces that make this town tick.

Venues & Event Locations
The Bennett Athletic and Recreation Center sees the kind of post-event hunger that polite snacks simply cannot touch, and Smokin Zo's brisket-heavy spread has a way of making the post-game debrief last considerably longer than anyone planned. A few miles over, North Shore Community College's Danvers Campus runs on tight schedules and tighter budgets, and a BBQ truck that serves fast, fills you up, and still delivers a legitimate smoke ring is the kind of thing students remember. Meanwhile, at Notch Brewery's Tap Room and Biergarten, where the whole point is to linger, pulled pork and cold beer form the kind of alliance that keeps people at the picnic tables well into the evening.
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 Danvers.
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.

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.
