Restaurant & Takeaway Insurance
Effective cover for the hospitality sector.
If you own and run a restaurant or takeaway establishment, it is important to have the correct cover to help protect your business should anything happen.
As you are providing goods to the public and preparing food, it is essential that you have the correct restaurant or takeaway insurance which includes product and public liability.
If customers are also collecting goods from your premises, it is important to have the correct cover to help protect you from injury claims from members of the public visiting your establishment.

DO I NEED RESTAURANT INSURANCE OR TAKEAWAY INSURANCE?
It doesn’t take a lot for hiccups to happen in a fast-paced environment such as a restaurant. A slip in the kitchen or a complaint from a customer with an allergy can happen to anyone, so having the right cover in place can really help your business should anything happen.
If you employ any staff at all, you are legally required to have employers’ liability insurance. SJL Insurance Services can build this into your policy.
If you have customers into your establishment, then it is strongly advised that you have public liability insurance to protect you against any injuries or accidents that could occur.
If you’re unsure of what insurance cover you might need for your restaurant or takeaway business, please speak to one of our experts.
DO I NEED INSURANCE IF I AM ONLY PROVIDING DELIVERY AND/OR TAKEAWAY SERVICES?
Even though you might not have customers coming into your establishment, you are still providing the public with products and are therefore liable should anything happen.
It is therefore important that you have product liability insurance, which will protect you should anything you serve cause harm (i.e. food poisoning).
You will also require cover for your employees. Employers liability insurance is a legal requirement for any business that hires staff.
