Standard cover
Public liability and employers' liability insurance for pubs
Provides cover up to to £5,000,000 for sums you become legally liable to pay in respect of accidental injury you any person or accidental loss or damage to their material property happening in the course of your business or caused by the nature or condition of anything sold for which you’re legally liable. Our employers' liability cover can provide up to £10,000,000 for sums you become legally liable to pay as damages, together with your legal costs and expenses relating to an injury to an employee for which you are legally liable.
Free risk management guidance with your pub insurance
Free with your pub insurance, the Towergate Risk Management web portal helps you keep your pub compliant with health and safety, HR, business continuity and driving risks. It offers automatic updates about any changes made to regulations and guides you to any gaps that need addressing in your existing health and safety arrangements. It also provides access to free online downloads about effective risk assessment.
Add entertainment cover to your pub insurance policy
Events and entertainment are activities that sometimes require extra cover. If you hold events, it is vital that you discuss your plans with your insurer. Even if the cover doesn’t cost you any extra, you must have it noted on your pub insurance policy. Very few businesses can afford to be without public liability insurance in the event of a liability compensation claim. If you give us as much information as you can during your quote, you only need to call your insurer if and when the situation changes.
Contents insurance for pubs
Pub insurance contents cover includes your fixtures and fittings, equipment, and stock against a range of perils; including explosion, fire, storm damage, malicious damage and theft involving forcible and violent entry or exit from the premises. It also covers against the leakage of beer & beverages from pumped containers and subsequent damage to contents, as well as a range of other perils specific to your trade. We can additionally provide building insurance for your pub if you own the building.
