Food Truck Catering
Catering in Hillside, NJ
Hillside, New Jersey moves at its own tempo — a tight-knit Union County community wedged between Newark and Elizabeth, carrying the kind of unpretentious, block-by-block pride that you don't find in places still figuring out who they are. Smoke fits here. The low-and-slow patience of real BBQ — brisket rested until the bark cracks just right, ribs with a smoke ring you want to photograph before you eat — matches the energy of a town that doesn't need to perform for anyone. Colorado Pig Rig brings that craft directly into Hillside's streets, parks, and gathering spaces.

What We Cater in Hillside, NJ
The Mid-Atlantic summer — heavy air, long evenings, everyone outside longer than they planned — was practically designed for smoked meat. Hillside's tight urban grid means gatherings happen quickly and organically, and a BBQ truck offering properly bark-covered brisket and fall-off-the-bone ribs lands exactly right in that culture. Colorado Pig Rig shows up ready for that energy, with a menu built for real appetite and a setup that works wherever the crowd forms.

Venues & Event Locations
The crowd that turns out at Lynch Memorial Park on a sunny Saturday is exactly the crowd that great BBQ was invented for — informal, hungry, and in no hurry to leave. Colorado Pig Rig has brought slow-smoked ribs and brisket into that kind of afternoon more than once. Jim Hynes '63 Stadium raises the energy further, a venue where game-day appetite meets serious craft, and for the events that call for a grander backdrop, Liberty Hall Mansion provides the kind of historic setting that makes even a pulled-pork sandwich feel like an 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 Hillside Township.
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.
