ALL You Need Is Grub when you turn 82, just ask Paul McCartney.
The Beatles legend shunned a big celebrity birthday bash and instead headed for a low-key dinner at a posh restaurant.
Insiders told me how Paul was joined by his wife Nancy and his five children at the 17th century Boys Hall hotel in Ashford, Kent, and shocked other guests who spotted them.
A source said: “Paul and his family booked a private room.
“They were quietly ushered in on Tuesday night and were taken to the Drawing Room, where the chefs cooked a three-course feast for them.

"It was super low-key, just Paul and his closest family members. He looked really happy and seemed to be enjoying a quieter celebration. They left just after 10.30pm.”
Given he’s approaching the big 9-0, I can’t blame Paul for wanting a more muted celebration.
But he still does love a good party.
I remember at Glastonbury two years ago, after he became the festival’s oldest solo headliner, he threw a massive bash afterwards and was still going strong at 3am.
As well as his daughters Stella and Mary, Paul had stars including actors Woody Harrelson and Kate Hudson plus supermodel Kate Moss backstage with him.
An onlooker told me at the time: “Paul was on a massive high and he had a party backstage. It was like a who’s who of the celebs at Worthy Farm. And Paul was one of the last men standing.”
I’m much more likely to be the first to hit the hay – and I’m five decades younger.
Bravo, Paul.
Kath’s Taylor made
KATHERINE Jenkins was ready to Shake It Off in this get-up as she arrived at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium to see Taylor Swift.
The opera singer wowed in her country-style – and completed the look with Taylor’s 1989 album T-shirt.

The US superstar made her latest stop in the Welsh capital on Tuesday and delighted the crowd by learning the lingo, using the word for hello, “shwmae”. Later on she said: “Cardiff, croeso i’r daith Eras,” which means, “Welcome to the Eras tour.”
She heads to London’s Wembley Stadium for three nights from tomorrow, before boomeranging back in August.
The Eras Tour ends in December so I’m excited to see what she does next.
Noel gets all shirty
NOEL Gallagher has thrown his support behind his beloved Man City by adding to the design of their new kit.
The lifelong City fan will have his handwriting scrawled on the back of all the team’s shirts for their games in the 2024/25 campaign.
He wrote out every name and number for the squad – including Erling Haaland’s, with fans also being able to get their own name printed on a shirt in his writing.
Lucky they didn’t ask me to do it. No one can read my handwriting.
