Restaurant insurance in Cardiff

Reviewed by Apex Insurance Brokers · Published 16 July 2026

Cardiff's restaurants trade in a lively capital, many of them licensed and dependent on serving alcohol for a healthy share of their takings. For a licensed restaurant, the licence itself is a business-critical asset.

Where the risks come from for Cardiff restaurants

A restaurant that loses, or has suspended, its premises licence, whether through a review, an incident or a breach, can see a large part of its trade disappear overnight, even as the rent and the staff costs continue. The licence is as vital to the business as the kitchen.

A Cardiff example

A Cardiff restaurant faces the suspension of its alcohol licence after a licensing issue, and its trade falls sharply while the matter is resolved. Loss-of-licence cover responds to the drop in trade and the value tied to the licence, cushioning a blow that has nothing to do with fire or theft.

What restaurant insurance covers

Loss-of-licence cover is a hospitality-specific protection for a licensed business, answering for the loss of trade or value if a premises licence is lost. It sits alongside the property, business-interruption and liability covers a restaurant needs.
