Food Truck Catering
Catering in Hartford, CT
On a Tuesday afternoon in Hartford, the smell of woodsmoke has a way of stopping people mid-stride. That pause — between the coffee run and the commute home — is exactly where low-and-slow barbecue earns its place. Colorado Pig Rig brings brisket, ribs, and pulled pork into the everyday fabric of this city, with bark and smoke ring that take all day to build and about thirty seconds to convince you.

The open green at Charter Oak Tree Memorial Park pulls in families on weekend mornings, and by midday a barbecue truck parked nearby becomes the obvious centerpiece of the afternoon. When Pratt & Whitney Stadium lights up for a match, the crowd outside is hungry long before the first whistle, and smoked brisket has earned a standing reservation in that pre-game hour. Nomad's Basketball Courts keep a different kind of crowd — pickup games running into dusk, players who leave with an appetite that only something substantial will satisfy.
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 City of Hartford.
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.
