Restaurant insurance in Bath
Bath restaurants, cafes and takeaways carry risks most brokers gloss over — commercial kitchens, food safety, licensed premises and heavy footfall. Apex arranges cover built around hospitality, placed by a named broker.
Key covers for restaurants
- Buildings and contents — structure, kitchen equipment, fixtures and fittings.
- Public and products liability — injury on the premises or illness after eating.
- Employers liability — legally required for kitchen and front-of-house staff.
- Business interruption — lost profits and costs if a fire, flood or breakdown closes you.
- Deterioration of stock — frozen and chilled stock lost to refrigeration breakdown.
- Loss of licence and money — cover tied to your alcohol licence and cash taken.
