Food Truck Catering
Catering in Ellington, CT
Most mornings in Ellington start quietly — a commute toward Hartford, a stop somewhere familiar, a day that unfolds without much fanfare. By the time afternoon arrives, people are ready for something real. Colorado Pig Rig serves the kind of smoked BBQ that earns its place in that routine: brisket with a deep bark, ribs cooked low and slow since before sunrise, pulled pork that doesn't apologize for taking its time.

What We Cater in Ellington, CT
A mid-size Connecticut town in the Hartford metro doesn't lack for places to eat, but it can go short on the kind of food that actually fits a full family — something hearty enough for the kids, interesting enough for the adults, and relaxed enough that nobody has to dress up or rush. That's the lane smoked BBQ occupies naturally here: filling, unhurried, and easy to share on a tailgate or a picnic blanket without ceremony.

Venues & Event Locations
Arbor Park is the kind of venue where BBQ doesn't need any introduction — the crowd is already in the right frame of mind, outside and unhurried. Events at the Hicks-Stearns Family Museum carry a local pride that pairs naturally with smoked meat done the slow way. When Maple Street Open Space hosts a gathering, the wide-open setting gives a BBQ truck room to breathe, and the smell of smoke carries far enough to do its own advertising.
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 Ellington.
Colorado Pig Rig 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.

When it comes to hearty BBQ service for events, Simon leans on a decade in catering that includes buying and prepping for up to ten trucks a day, work tied to names like Southwest Airlines, Kroger, Amazon, and FedEx, and a fall festival that swelled from about 100 guests to nearly 300 without slowing service. His fire-safety knowledge and line-speed instincts help Colorado Pig Rig plan the right BBQ service format for your guest count, and his advice for hosts is simple: trim the menu to your favorites so the smokers can keep pace with the crowd.

- 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.
