Some types of insurance may be a legal requirement. Others may not be compulsory, but are recommended to protect you in the event of a claim. Not having the right insurance for your restaurant could be a false economy. For example, if you don’t have the necessary protection and a customer becomes ill with food poisoning, you could be liable to pay costs or compensation. Therefore, it makes sense to match your insurance protection to your requirements and provide you with peace of mind that a claim won’t be damaging to your business.

Public and employers liability protect you if a member of the public or an employee is injured or their property is damaged on your premises. Product liability insurance protects you if a customer becomes ill or their property damaged as a result of the food or drink you serve. Many restaurant insurance policies come with product liability cover as standard but it’s important to double check. To ensure you are protected, include it in your requirements and we will make sure you’re covered.

If you serve alcohol, you may want to consider cover for loss of licence. This will protect you if your licence is revoked and allows you the time needed to recover it. Loss of licence is often an optional extra available from many restaurant insurance providers. Without your stock you wouldn’t be able to run your restaurant. Optional cover is available for deterioration of stock, for example if your fridge breaks down and food spoils. Similarly, contents or stock cover will often protect your stock from theft, fire, flood, or malicious damage.
