Employers' liability covers you for accidental bodily injury claims caused to staff, should you be at fault, resulting in a member of your staff getting injured at work. This type of cover is a legal requirement.

In addition you should have public liability insurance, which covers you for similar accidental injury or property damage losses caused to your customers or another member of the public again due to negligence on your part.

We also recommend you have products liability which covers you should one of your customers allege food poisoning.

No this is not necessary. We will cover you for all employees employed during the year. For SMEs insured under smaller package policies, cover is automatic and the premium non-adjustable. For larger businesses, we can arrange employers’ liability cover for all employees with the premium based on wage roll estimates and the premium then adjusted annually after expiry.

Yes we can. Your responsibility will however depend upon whether the drivers are directly employed by you. Employers’ liability is a standard cover section under most shop package policies, covering your legal liability for injury caused to direct employees whilst delivering food, provided that you are at fault in some way.

If you are using third-party delivery services then you should ensure the drivers hold their own public liability cover for the delivery of fish and chips. They will also need to notify their motor insurer that they’re using their vehicle for delivering food on your behalf.

If your menu expands to cover more than just fish and chips, please let our advisers know and they will ensure your policy extends to cover this. Please note that you must tell us if you offer outside catering at events.

Yes - even if your other fast food shops sell different products. For example, if you also have a burger bar or kebab shop we can insure them under one policy and negotiate for a competitive rate.

To help you spread the cost of your premiums, we offer a quick and easy direct debit scheme for spreading payment over ten months. Please visit our dedicated Direct Debit page to find out more.
