For new residents of Borehamwood and for readers elsewhere I guess most of you know of course about Elstree Studios, founded in 1926, and the BBC Elstree Centre, originally founded as the Neptune Film Company in 1914, that are situated off the main high street. In particular many people visit Elstree Studios to watch the recordings of television shows like Strictly Come Dancing, Big Brother and The Chase to name a few. That may help to explain why the high street, known as Shenley Road, is now the eating experience capital of Hertfordshire. Personally I seldom eat out because I am tight and am capable of cooking myself a great meal for a fiver but that is just me. Mind you if I am invited out for a free meal then I am your man.
