Why do you need takeaway insurance?

A fryer accident. Pizza allergens. An unfair dismissal claim. As popular as your place might be, busy takeaways come with unique risks and challenges. From public liability cover to legal expenses and employer protection, a takeaway insurance quote picks out what you need, letting you focus on the queue outside, not the what-ifs on every service.

What does takeaway insurance cover?

No one knows your shop, customers and community like you do – and certainly not your food. Public and product liability cover is usually a top priority for our takeaway customers, plus insurance for expensive equipment, stock and appliances. And don’t forget employers’ liability insurance – it’s a legal requirement for most businesses with employees.


How much does takeaway insurance cost?

Takeaway insurance costs vary depending on the size of your premises and specific risks, from operating commercial kitchen equipment to employing a large team of wait staff.
