our eldest's 30th birthday - how to celebrate? any tips please?

[Townleygreen]

As the title says, our eldest is 30 this month (on Christmas Eve in fact), and we usually all go out as a family (siblings, grandparent etc) with partners to a local restaurant on the day.

I thought it might be nice to do something slightly different to celebrate this age milestone, but not sure what!

Seen some amazing suggestions/advice from the EDF over the years so thought it would be worth posting this.

Over to you?

PS they will be celebrating with their friends of course on a different occasion.

Go up the shard? I think there is a bar/restaurant up there?

Or up tower 42 - drink champagne and take in great views of London. Or something Like Bloomsbury bowling where you can get cocktails and food as well as bowl.

Go to a really great restaurant together (assuming your eldest - and everyone else - enjoys good food) - a lot of the top restaurants have very reasonable set menus at lunchtime(?30 or less for 3 courses sometimes). And bubbly, of course!

Something completely different how about http://www.faultytowers-uk.com/

The food is 1970s but edible, but the theatre aspect is really well done its very funny if you all liked fawlty towers of course
