The event boasted produce from the West Country, and the harvest home has been running in the village for more than 100 years.
Heavy rain and strong wind threatened to cancel the event, but organisers pushed on and saw a healthy turn-out for the sit-down meal.
A spokesman for the luncheon said: "What a wonderful and successful Mark Harvest Home.
"Thank you to everyone who attended or helped at the event, roll on next year - which will be even bigger and better."
