About Restaurant & Café Insurance

Kitchen equipment breakdown cover responds when a fridge, oven or extraction system fails, which can otherwise mean lost stock and a forced closure with no cover in place. Cover for spoiled stock following a breakdown or power cut is often included alongside standard premises and liability cover, reflecting how much of a food business's risk sits in the kitchen rather than the dining room.

What You Will Need for a Quote

  • Nature of your business and services provided
  • Estimated annual turnover
  • Number of employees
  • Stock and contents values, if applicable
