    Silver Dove Afternoon Tea is my favorite place for a special lunch or when I just need a pick me up. Today I went with two co-workers. It was the last day for one of them, and I wanted her to have a lovely meal. We did! Everyone had a good time, and we appreciated the staff being understanding when we only had an hour for the meal. Thank you so much, Silver Dove Team!
