Load of ****! Nothing but tabloid journalism at it's best!
According to the paper I read (haven't looked at the above articles), a spokeswoman for GR Holdings had said that it was true, and they made no secret of it. Although nothing sold as 'fresh' was made off site - just things that were usually made in advance as would usually be made in the mornings.theres just no way he does that

This place only supplies Foxtrot Oscar and the two Gastropubs - the 'cheap' Ramsay-owned places.
Daily Mail said:Head chef Darran Ridley told an undercover reporter from The Sun how it provides ‘the majority of the food’ for Ramsay’s bistro Foxtrot Oscar in Chelsea.
Telepgraph said:Popular dishes such as fishcakes, sausage rolls and coq au vin are made en masse at a production site in Clapham, south London, The Sun has claimed.
ButeSays it all tbh
A load of tosh.
The Telegraph said:A spokesman for Ramsay was quoted: "On an average day up to 50 per cent of the menu at the three gastro pubs and Foxtrot Oscar could be done off-site.
"But no fresh produce, such as cuts of meat are done off-site."
4-6X mark up is standard in restaurants, whats the problem??

Sounds likely.
There are dishes that can't be prepared in the time someone is prepared to wait for them so they have to be made in advance. Why not prepare them off site?
If the quality of the ingredients is good and the it's done appropriately this isn't an issue.
