Parker was apparently overwhelmed by customers at the restaurant when she arrived. Conor Hughes, the restaurant’s owner, claims that Parker offered to clean some dishes instead of losing patience with waitstaff.
“Sarah was one of the nicest customers I’ve had in a while,” Hughes said Hello!. “She noticed we were super busy, asked if I was short-staffed, and jokingly offered to help in the kitchen, as I was cooking and running food! She seemed to know a lot about our business, and clearly had done her due diligence.”
Hughes said it was a family event and Parker ate with Matthew Broderick, her husband, and their three children. “Both Sarah and Matthew were happy to converse with anyone and everyone,”The restaurateur recalls. “My friend Lauren bought her a cocktail which SJP thanked her for personally as she paid at the counter.”
They stopped at the last stop before returning to the States.
Apparently, Parker and her family didn’t just stumble into the establishment. Hughes insists that Parker did extensive research on the place before making the decision to eat there. She read reviews and looked through their menu. The owner says it was a huge honor since it was the family’s last meal in the country before departing back to their home in New York City.

What did the family order? Hughes said that they were foodies and enjoyed a variety menu. Fried chicken to start, then ramen for the main course—but they also indulged in some smaller plates throughout the meal.
“Cauli wings and salmon sashimi to share. I sent an extra plate of sashimi as they seemed to love the first one this gesture was met with amazed delight. They really appreciated it. Especially the kids,”Hughes shares.
It was bittersweet for Ireland to bid the family adieu—but there’s no doubt that they’ll be back soon enough. Broderick’s family has owned a vacation home in Donegal for over 40 years. Parker and Broderick are well-known to the locals and they often see them in town, browsing local shops or eating at local restaurants.
