So what's going on here?

Created in April 2000, hireachef.co.uk lists private chefs for hire in the UK.

Pre-Covid, the directory's chef listings consistently appeared in Google search results over half a million times every year, with over 15,000 people clicking through aiming to hire a private chef for dinner parties, birthday celebrations, hen parties, holiday homes, weddings, corporate hospitality, retreats and special events.

Alongside many other self-employed businesses, private chefs really struggled during the pandemic - especially those who relied on travelling and going into people's homes - and the website took a knock. In summer 2024 - after 24 years of being indexed in search engines - the site went dark and disappeared from the internet.

But it's back...

Salvaged in August 2024 by chef Shaun Nixon (who has 27 years' experience in digital marketing), the website is back up and running. After those summer weeks when search engines were hammering at the doors to list chefs across the UK, the gates have been thrown open and search traffic is fast recovering towards its pre-covid level - building on that 24 year history of consistent indexing for private chef searches.

The event organisers and diners are back, searching for chefs in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland

...so it's time to get listed!
