Planning Your Corporate Event with Onsite Catering at Strock Enterprises

5:48

When companies plan corporate events, food and flow matter more than almost anything else. At Strock Enterprises, we host corporate gatherings on our preserved family farm in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, pairing flexible event spaces with onsite catering we have been cooking and serving since 1983. From small team dinners to large company celebrations, we help you host an event that feels organized, welcoming, and well-fed.

We work with businesses across Mechanicsburg, Carlisle, Harrisburg, and surrounding areas, welcoming guests to a setting that feels open and intentional, without shopping centers or traffic nearby. This is still a working family farm, and it shapes how we host every event.

Event spaces that scale with your guest list

We offer several event spaces on site, each suited to different group sizes and layouts. The Catering Barn seats up to 150 guests and includes natural light, modern bathrooms, changing rooms, tables, chairs, servers, and charcoal-roasted catering prepared on site. The Corn Crib is an all-seasons facility that seats up to 65 guests at round tables, making it a strong option for smaller company gatherings or leadership events. 

For larger corporate functions, the Turkey Pen seats over 300 guests banquet style and includes electricity, ambient lighting, ceiling fans, and access to modern bathrooms. Because these spaces are located on the same preserved farm property, companies can choose the venue that fits their guest count while keeping food quality and service consistent.

On-site catering that anchors the entire experience

Corporate events at Strock Enterprises are centered around food cooked on site. Our catering team has been roasting and grilling over charcoal since 1983, using custom-built roasters that allow meals to be prepared fresh during your event. Menu options range from full buffet service to lighter selections, including charcoal-grilled meats, whole pig roasts, and recipes passed down through generations.

Our catering packages include full buffet setup, maintenance, and teardown, non alcoholic beverages, appetizers, formal plastic tableware with linen-look napkins, rolls with dinner, dessert cutting and serving, bussing tables, and packaging leftovers. Outside catering is not permitted, which helps keep timing, food quality, and service consistent throughout the event.

Service support that keeps events running smoothly

Corporate hosts do not need to manage logistics alone. Venue rental includes tables, chairs, trash and recycling services, parking, modern restrooms, and staff support throughout the event. Our team is fully licensed and insured, with ServSafe-certified staff and RAMP-certified bartenders available where applicable.

We operate with a hands-on team rather than a large rotating crew. Each staff member plays an active role throughout the event, which helps keep service responsive and organized, especially for higher guest counts.

Event timing options that allow for setup and flow

Corporate events can be booked as either three hour or four and a half hour events. Each option includes additional time for setup and teardown, giving planners room to prepare without rushing guests or vendors. Availability varies by day and venue, with Friday, Sunday, and Saturday options available for both event durations. Weekday events are customizable and coordinated directly with our team.

A location designed for focus, not distractions

Our 80-plus-acre preserved farm setting creates a sense of separation that works well for corporate gatherings. Guests arrive knowing they are coming to a dedicated event property rather than a shared commercial space. Many companies value hosting meetings, dinners, or celebrations in a location that feels intentional and private, without surrounding development pulling attention away from the event.
