We went back to the bride to be's house for drinks and changings, followed by more drinks at another house, which was also rather fun, and then a rather fantastic meal at Junipers. The first thing that struck me about the place is 'perfect purple' it was in a strip around the walls. I was further struck by the various picture type things in a variety of shades of that purple all aroud me. I sometimes ponder on whether there is something a bit strange about me that gets such a marvellous feeling from one colour - it has to be right mind you.

Anyway, however perfect the purple is, if the food is rubbish that doesn't mean much. The food was fantastic, I had potato and cauliflower soup with pumpkin ravioli and a crostini with pesto as a starter and a rather gorgeous steak with a rarebit top and an ale and shallot sauce as a main course. Both were completely excellent, though my main course was rather too much to finish and I didn't manage a dessert.

Conversation throughout was lots of fun, and the rather slow service was really good, it meant we didn't feel rushed but could relax and enjoy. The restaurant emptied around us and we eventually left at about midnight. A fantastic evening.
