The restaurant is owned by head chef Aidan McGrath and his partner Kate Sweeney.[3]

The restaurant is housed in the former hotel Kincora House, which has a history dating back to the 1840s.[4] McGrath and Sweeney bought the building in late 2008 and opened in 2009 as the Wild Honey Inn after doing some work to the building.[5] They continued with the refurbishment over the years and the Victorian building is fully restored and is operated by the couple as a Fáilte Ireland and AA 5-star rated guesthouse. Aidan McGrath has also won 2 AA rosettes for his food.[6]
