Judge a dish on its merits, not on where it's prepared

Diners have made a silly assumption if they presume everything they eat at a Gordon Ramsay gastropub is freshly cooked on the premises and that somehow Ramsay has a hand in it. Clearly he does not because he cannot be in so many restaurants at once. Ramsay's gastropubs are no better or worse than a lot of other gastropubs. The high street gastropubs buy in their food because it is the only way they can make ends meet. The best ones - like the Brown Dog in Barnes - are effectively restaurant-standard operations and buy in as much or as little as a top-class establishment.
