Guests enjoyed a meal and live music from Cwm Cerwyn Ensembles and the choir The Aftertones.
Jonathan Williams, founder of The Old Point House and The Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company, said: "We are delighted to have been able to host this event and raise funds for such a fantastic Pembrokeshire charity.
"Supporting Paul Sartori for this event meant that we could involve the community in a positive way and give something valuable."
The Paul Sartori Foundation offers nursing care, equipment loans, complementary therapies, and bereavement support for individuals in the later stages of life.
Thanks to community support and events like the fundraising lunch, the charity can continue delivering its services.
All profits from the event were donated to the foundation, totalling just over £1,400.
Paul Sartori Hospice at Home relies heavily on community fundraising to sustain its operations.
The charity also encourages others to consider organising fundraising events to help support its work across Pembrokeshire.
Rosie-Faye Hart, community relationship officer at the Paul Sartori Foundation, can be contacted through the charity's head office for anyone interested in hosting future events.

"I would be thrilled if my photography could help raise funds for a cause I deeply care about and for the organisation I proudly work with. "To me, nature is one of the most beautiful gifts we have and capturing it through a lens is my way of appreciating and sharing it." Barchester's Charitable Foundation helps older people and other adults with disabilities or mental health needs to connect with their communities.

Growing up around nature, he developed a deep passion for the outdoors from a very young age, and his love of photography followed soon after, starting with landscapes before evolving into wildlife. Some of his favourite photography locations include Slimbridge for birds, Skomer Island for puffins, and Bempton Cliffs, where he once captured a rare black-browed albatross. He also continues to photograph wildlife during visits to India, but this is the first time he has held an exhibition or put his work up for sale.

Nelly Korda, Charley Hull enjoyed filming Happy Gilmore 2 but Hull 'couldn't be an actress'
Charley Hull was born about a month after the original "Happy Gilmore" movie came out in 1996. Nelly Korda, who turned 27 on Monday, is two years younger than Hull. Both joined a host of golf stars – including fellow No. 1 Scottie Scheffler – in the comedy hit's sequel, which brings back Adam Sandler in the lead role. "Happy Gilmore 2" was released on Netflix July 25 and, according to Variety, 46.7 million viewers streamed the movie in just three days — making it the biggest U.S. opening weekend in Netflix history. Korda said she planned to watch the movie sometime this week while she's competing at the AIG Women's British Open in Wales. "It was so cool getting to meet Adam Sandler, getting to be part of that process, and actually seeing how difficult acting is from that point of view," said Korda. "That scene with Shooter was amazing to see just from my point of view, his acting, and how much it takes. "That scene took all day. It was like a 20-second scene. The appreciation for their lifestyle and their job definitely grew for me. For me, it was just so cool to be a part of, and getting to do it with Nancy (Lopez) is a lot of fun too." England's Charley Hull said the filming process was also long but "good fun." "Never thought I'd be in a movie, but there you go," she said. "Definitely safe to say I couldn't be an actress. Just filming that scene all day, I haven't got the patience." Other golf stars in the film include Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Keegan Bradley, Rickie Fowler, Tony Finau, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth and Will Zalatoris from the PGA Tour, as well as Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka from LIV Golf. PGA Tour legends Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino and John Daly also joined in the fun.

‘70s rocker suffers medical emergency with ‘long journey ahead of him if he survives'
Dave Edmunds, the Welsh rock musician, has suffered from a 'major cardiac arrest,' according to a Facebook post from his wife, Cici. Cici updated fans on Edmunds' condition earlier this week, revealing the incident in graphic detail. Per her post, Edmunds died during the attack and was later revived by ICU doctors who intubated him. 'My beloved husband of 40 years has had a major cardiac arrest as I told you about in my previous post,' she wrote on Tuesday. 'He died in my arms while I desperately tried to keep him alive while trying to clear his airways from all of the fluids that come out of a human beings [sic] body when we pass away.' She added: 'As I'm on the floor with Dave dead and lots of fluid is coming out of his mouth and the other places in his body. I keep my emotions in check, even though I'm absolutely heartbroken and terrified at the shock of having my beloved husband dead in my arms.' After an unsuccessful attempt at performing CPR on the musician, ICU doctors revived Edmunds 'by a miracle' via intubation, although Cici's post notes that he 'very clearly has brain damage and severe memory loss etc.' 'And the risk of yet another major cardiac arrest is high,' she wrote. 'And if that occurs there is no chance for Dave….." Edmunds ended the post by asking for prayers and 'good wishes' for her husband, and thanked them for their support this far. 'I'm still in shock and I believe I have PTSD from the horrific experience,' she wrote. 'Dave will have a very long journey ahead of him if he survives,' she concluded. 'We both have.' Edmunds, whose career launched in the late 1960s, has recorded over a dozen records as a solo artist and a member of the bands Love Sculpture and Rockpile. In 1970, he scored one of his best-known songs in the UK with a cover of 'I Hear You Knocking,' originally by New Orleans blues musician Smiley Lewis.
