“Samantha saved us while we were starting production in Dalkey, Ireland. We were beyond lucky to have Sam as a chef for the 4 weeks we were in Ireland. Not only was Sam’s food absolutely incredible and delicious, but she also listened to everyone’s individual food plans and catered to each of us individually. Asides from being an incredible chef Sam was professional, thoughtful, and absolutely extraordinary!”
Executive Assistant to Ben Affleck.

"In the many years I have worked in the entertainment industry, I have come across many chefs. Samantha Farrell would be – in my estimation – one of the finest I have ever known. Her attention to detail and her incredible knowledge of food is second to none.  Her years of experience in the restaurant and catering industry have shone through as she has retained all one would need to know about the quality of food, and the diets that so many in the entertainment industry need to adhere too. Not forgetting – her culinary skills are wonderful and inventive and always finding new directions with her flavours.

Samantha catered for period of 2 years in the studio for the band and production team. I found Samantha to be very creative in her menus serving up fresh, vibrant, flavoursome yet healthy real food which met our diverse needs, including various studio guests changing day to day. Samantha is easy going, yet professional and discreet in relation to our obvious need for privacy."
Sam O’Sullivan, U2 Studio Manager.

“Samantha is an amazing chef. I always know, when she and her team are working with us, that there will be nothing to worry about – their professionalism and culinary ability are of a premium standard and I would highly recommend her for all occasions”
Eversheds Sutherland, Law Firm, Corporate Catering.

“I have had the pleasure of working closely with Sam over the last 2 years.  I manage a luxury property in Dalkey and use Sam on a regular basis for all types of Catering.  From small intimate private dinners, large canapé receptions & sit down brunches to name a few!!  Everything Sam produces is of the highest quality. Every guest has been blown away by her incredible food & beautiful presentation of the freshest produce. Sam works closely with all clients tailor making each menu to suit their specific requests; nothing is ever too much trouble!!  Not only does Sam produce 5-star food but also an exceptional 5-star service.”

"The success of our wonderful wedding lunch, in our own house was in no small way due to Sam's imagination and attention to detail. When planning, she arrived with a selection of mouth-watering menus and sound practical advice. For weeks after the event our guests continued to comment, not only on the magnificent food, but also the graciousness and professionalism of her team."
John & Moya, Bespoke Wedding.

"As an avid foodie I was most impressed with your class this morning – the simplicity and ease of your menu and choice of ingredients was interesting – definitely will be trying some of them this week"
BYSAM Cook Club Participant.

"Sam and her team catered a high profile office relocation party for us in 2016. She was professional and helpful from start to finish offering expert advice in regards to appropriate catering, furniture and flowers for the event. The food was exceptional and was very well received by all guests. Sam’s team ensured all of the guests were happy and that the event ran smoothly. Set up and clean down were made effortless. I wouldn’t hesitate in using Sam again for future events." 
Rachel, Events Executive, Corporate Canapés.

"Sam and her team catered for my sons 21st recently. I felt I was in very safe hands from the start. Sam was a great help with the initial planning and her vast experience meant she had some great ideas for decor etc. We had a mixture of 'manapes' and small bowls. The food was really delicious and perfect for both young and old. I would highly recommend Sam and her team for any event."
21st Birthday Party.

“I hired Sam to cater for a few special occasions at a private residence in Dublin.  The events ranged from a casual dinner for approximately 6 guests to a more formal dinner event for approximately 20 guests. Sam did a wonderful job at each event – everyone loved the food she prepared.  Her planning, consultation re: dietary needs /food preferences, administration and delivery were all top notch. She has a lovely, calm demeanor and leaves everyone feeling the party is in safe hands! I would have no hesitation recommending Sam for your catering needs.” 
S.P., Executive Assistant, Private Residence, Dublin

“We were so delighted with the pre-debs drinks party that Sam catered for us. As the party was short it was necessary for Sam and her team to cater for a large group of hungry teenagers and their parents in a short time. She managed to produce a range of delicious canapés that appealed to parents and teenagers alike. And all with a minimum of fuss. We couldn't recommend Sam more highly”
Pre-Debs Cocktail Party, Killiney.

"Catering options are often quite black and white. You get a set menu of items to pick from, and ultimately you are just a another job in the machine. 
In contrast it was a real joy working with Samantha and her team. From start to finish we felt valued and we were given options that not only suited our needs, but ended up being a real knockout punch of deliciousness at our event. We would highly recommend Bysam and look forward to working with them many more times in the future."
