Venues & Event Locations
At Hinchliffe Stadium, a venue that has watched generations of Hawthorne history unfold from its grandstand seats, Colorado Pig Rig fits right into the atmosphere of a crowd gathered to celebrate something. William Paterson University draws a different kind of energy — students, faculty, visiting families — and nothing anchors a campus event quite like a line forming around a BBQ truck with brisket on the board. And when the crowd spills out around Hawthorne Theaters on a Friday night, a plate of smoked ribs nearby turns a regular evening into a real occasion.
New Jersey 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 Hawthorne Borough.
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.

Stephen
Food Truck Booking Agent
Stephen built his BBQ instincts the hard way: more than a dozen trucks, a 12-truck network, and days prepping over 3,000 meals for corporate crowds of 1,000 or more. When a contractor's trailer hitch failed before an event, he got a team out to re-hitch it and still rolled in with 50 minutes to spare, the kind of hearty BBQ service he now helps hosts plan for their own gatherings. His rule for keeping the line moving: trim the menu to two entrées and let the smoky flavor do the rest.
Stephen will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
