What does restaurant insurance cover?
Severe damage caused by an insured peril may prevent the restaurant from opening and trade may be interrupted, thus causing a fall in income/turnover. Despite not opening for business, you will still have a number of business overheads e.g. wages, bills, mortgage, rent, bank loans, insurance premium and rates. Business interruption is an important part of your cover and contributes towards these continuing overheads. Please ensure the period of cover provided by your insurance after the date of loss, is of sufficient length to allow for you t return fully to the same level of trading as before the loss. This cover is available for up 36 months.
If you have employees, you are legally required to have employers' liability insurance and we can add this dependent based on the number of employees you have. In addition we offer public liability insurance, so if someone were to slip or trip on your premises and negligence on the part of the restaurant was found to be the cause, the policy would cover your legal defence and compensation required too.
If there's a problem in the kitchen and the food you serve leads to illness or injury, a claim may be made against the restaurant. The policy can cover you for your legal defence costs and awards will be paid to the customer if they win the case. Products liability for restaurants can also cover any foods or merchandise you sell for customers to use at home.
Insure your restaurant's furniture, kitchen equipment, till systems and more on a new for old basis. Cover is scalable depending on the actual replacement values you need to insure. Choose your own cover limit to ensure you are correctly insured.
In the event of a claim please call the telephone number on your policy documents to speak with your insurer. They will talk you through your claim and help guide you through your next steps in the process.
You can also contact the restaurant claims support team at Towergate. If you feel you need additional support, or if you have concerns about the progression of your claim, our in house team are always on hand to help.

With buildings cover this would include property owner’s liability, so slips and trips related to the building as a whole can be covered. It is down to the tenant of the flat above to arrange cover for their own goods/contents. For more information just talk through your circumstance with the team and they will aim to source the cover that fits.
