What is hospitality insurance?
Hospitality insurance is a combination of covers built around serving food, drink and guests, public liability for customer injury, employers’ liability if you have staff, and cover for stock, equipment and lost income if you have to close.
If you sell alcohol or serve hot food late, your premises licence application itself usually asks for proof of public liability cover before you’re approved.
The right hospitality cover depends on:
Whether you serve alcoholKitchen equipment and cookingNumber of covers or bedsStock and perishable goodsOutdoor or beer garden spaceNumber of sites
What kind of hospitality business do you run?
Whether you run a restaurant, pub, café, takeaway or mobile food business, the right cover depends on how and where you serve customers.
