Our fish and chip shop insurance covers your premises, including cooking equipment (owned and hired) and your stock. Should any of your property need replacement due to fire or theft by forced entry, this feature will help you to keep your business going with minimal interruption.
We offer public and products liability tailored to your shop's needs. This provides cover for a wide range of third-party liability incidents. Public liability protects you should a customer have an accident on your premises and take legal action. Products liability covers you if your food causes a customer to become unwell.
Should something happen that means your fish and chip shop can no longer operate as usual, business interruption cover may be able to help you cover costs until your business is back on its feet. Incidents such as fire or theft by forcible entry are usually covered up to £250,000 as standard. Issues relating to suppliers are also covered - at a lower limit.
Our policy covers the risks faced when working in a fast-paced customer-facing environment. With the quick movement of hot food and liquids across hot surfaces, fast food employees risk injuries and accidentals that can be costly. Our policy includes an employers' liability limit of indemnity of £10 million. It also covers your business for £5,000 cash in transit and also for cash on the premises during working hours and includes some cover for assault, should an employee fall victim to a violent theft.
These are just some of the key features and exclusions, full details will be found in your policy wording. Show policy documents

If you're a business owner, the likelihood is you'll need some liability insurance. Our infographic explains why it's so important to get covered and the circumstances in which you'll need public, professional, employers, product and director's and officer's liability insurance.
Public liability covers you for claims from a customer or a member of the public for an injury for which you are liable (e,g. tripping over and injuring themselves) within your premises. Employers' liability is similar, but to cover you for any injuries or illnesses suffered by your employees as a result of your business.
We also recommend that you have products liability, which covers you should one of your customers suffer from food poisoning or burn themselves on hot food from your shop.
We will usually insure you based upon your wage roll rather than number of personnel, so you would only need to tell us should your wage costs increase.
