Food Truck Catering
Catering in Groton, CT
They don't call Groton the submarine capital of the world for nothing — this is a place that respects craft, patience, and things built to last. That same respect is baked into low-and-slow BBQ: hardwood smoke wrapping a brisket for hours, ribs developing that deep mahogany bark, pulled pork falling apart in a way that only comes with time. Colorado Pig Rig carries that tradition into the streets, parks, and events of everyday Groton.

What We Cater in Groton, CT
When the wind off the Thames reminds everyone that Connecticut winters are not a rumor, the answer isn't a light salad — it's a loaded plate of slow-smoked meat with enough heft to keep you moving. Groton's waterfront-working, base-adjacent, campus-busy energy creates exactly the kind of crowd that appreciates BBQ done right: people who have been on their feet all day and know the difference between real smoke and shortcuts. Colorado Pig Rig is the truck built for that kind of appetite.

Venues & Event Locations
On a clear afternoon at Fort Trumbull State Park, the combination of Thames River views and a Colorado Pig Rig smoke trail is hard to argue with. Connecticut College's campus life pulses through dining decisions the way it pulses through everything else — hungrily and with good taste — and a brisket plate lands differently than anything from a dining-hall line. The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center draws thinkers and makers who tend to forget to eat until the smell of smoked meat reminds them exactly how hungry they've become.
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 Groton.
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.
