Probably not the salads, I'll grant you that
but from what I heard, yes, the steaks.
Dunno about the chips.

The chips will be fried and the steaks will be cooked to order.
All chain restaurants have stuff made in central kitchens that they heat up. Even small restaurants and pubs will pre-cook a lot of the dishes and heat them up. There's nothing really wrong with doing that.

Unless it's circles of puff pastry pretending to be a pie. That ought to be a crime punishable by a slow and agonising death.

She said even the omelettes were pre-made.
Looking at the menu now there seems to be a lot of grilled and fried items and not so much 'stuff in sauce' so they may have changed a bit since 2005.

I don't think I've been in one since the 1990s but it was mostly steak and chips back then.
Microwaved omelette sounds pretty grim. If you can't make an omelette then you shouldn't be allowed in a kitchen.

I was a Chef years ago
and it made me cry how many so called Chefs applied for jobs yet couldn't make a basic Béchamel, fillet a fish or basic soups Blah blah.
Most of them had learnt to microwave things in bags.

In life there are cooks and there are Chefs.
