The Wild Honey Inn earned the prestigious award for their “robust and confident cooking.” The superb pub (surely it must be) is owned and run by Mayo native and prominent chef, Aidan McGrath and his partner Kate Sweeney. Aidan describes his cooking as “modern bistro style”.

So, does this mean we all need to head off to Clare and see what all this fuss is about? Probably. Just look at some of their delectable bites.
