Liverpool chef Terry Edwards and his musician best friend, George Craig, believe that the best times in life are spent around the table enjoying a good meal. Building on their experience modernizing favorite childhood staples into satisfying, mouthwatering dishes for friends and family, the pair channeled their love of food, drinks, and music into a unique London dining experience—an eclectic pop-up restaurant they named Check On. As word of their culinary creation spread, Check On’s fabulous food and amazing ambiance won raves from even the most discriminating cosmopolitan palates and revolutionized the London food scene.
