Cover in the event of any criminal or accidental damage to your restaurant or hotel's building.

Fridge and freezers, ovens, health and safety gear, PA systems… your hospitality business is likely to be packed with contents that will need replacing if something untoward occurs.

Accidents happen – especially in the kitchen, and even if it’s no-one’s fault, the resulting costs can still add up, so you need to be covered for this.

Whatever the claim might be, you’ll need to legally defend yourself if a claim is made against you, and this policy will cushion that possible financial blow.

Read more about legal expenses cover

If a claim is made against a specific person rather than the business itself, this cover is for legal costs, contributing to any possible settlements or compensation.

If your stock – whether that’s food, kitchen equipment, linen, etc – is spoiled due to outside events, this insurance covers replacement costs. 

If your business has to close due to material damage losses, this insurance is designed to indemnify your lost income and cover fixed costs to ensure you can continue to recover to your predicted pre-loss trading position, had the loss not occurred.
