Restaurants, Bars, Hotels and Pubs – why are you vulnerable?

Vulnerability may arise for a number of reasons, just a selection may include:

- The mixing together of alcohol and people causing a wide variety of problems

- Assaults on staff

- Theft

- If you’re preparing and serving food, your customers may decide that they’ve suffered health issues arising from the consumption of your products

- Staff may be injured while progressing their legitimate duties

- The traditional problems associated with some forms of natural disaster that may render your business temporarily incapable of operating


In all of these situations, plus many others, your staff and employees may hold you legally accountable – and a court may agree.

In other situations, you may have suffered serious stock losses as well as a loss of income.

Of course we cannot stop any of these things happening to you but we can help you to find an insurance policy that provides the right financial protection for your specific restaurant, pub, hotel, b&b or bar.

We understand your business is important

Just as your customers may think of your premises as being exclusively associated with leisure – others may think that running restaurants and bars is easy.

You know otherwise!

If you’d like to protect the investment of all your hard work and capital, then it may make sense to think the unthinkable and try to imagine how you’d cope in the event of a disaster.

Perhaps you’re in the fortunate position of having very large capital reserves available and therefore wouldn’t be too worried if some of the above things happened to you.

If that’s not the case though, it might be wise to spend a little time looking at our insurance products. Call us now for a quote on 0161 968 2041.
