Restaurant insurance in Ilfracombe

Reviewed by Apex Insurance Brokers · Published 16 July 2026

Ilfracombe's seaside restaurants stretch their trade into the summer with terraces, awnings and the occasional marquee, making the most of a short, weather-dependent season. Those temporary and outdoor structures are exposed in a way the building is not.

Where the risks come from for Ilfracombe restaurants

Awnings, gazebos, marquees and outdoor dining structures on an exposed coast are vulnerable to wind and storm, and one can be wrecked in a single gale, taking with it the seating capacity a seaside restaurant relies on in season. Standard buildings cover may not extend to them.

An Ilfracombe example

A summer storm destroys the marquee and awnings an Ilfracombe restaurant relies on for its terrace trade, at the height of the season. Cover arranged to include outdoor and temporary structures meets the cost of replacing them, and business interruption covers the lost seating capacity.

What restaurant insurance covers

Cover for marquees, awnings and outdoor structures, and for the trade they carry, needs to be arranged specifically, as standard buildings cover often stops at the walls. It sits with the property, business-interruption and liability covers.
