Essential Covers

Insurance every pizza shop should consider.

  • Public Liability Insurance

    Covers customer injuries on your premises — slips, trips and third-party claims.

  • Property & Equipment Cover

    Protects ovens, kitchen equipment, fit-out and stock against fire, theft and insured events.

  • Business Interruption Insurance

    Covers lost income when an insured event stops you trading.

  • Machinery Breakdown

    Essential when ovens or refrigeration fail during peak service periods.

  • Product Liability

    Protects against claims arising from food served or sold from your shop.

  • Workers' Compensation

    Mandatory if you have employees — covering workplace injuries in busy kitchens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Inflation, market conditions and claims costs have driven renewals up. On average, pizza and takeaway shops are facing around a 26% premium hike — but reviewing and comparing can still reduce what you pay.

Not without comparing. Sticking with one insurer for years often means missing more competitive rates and paying for cover you no longer need.

Most need public liability and property cover at a minimum. Machinery breakdown, business interruption, product liability and workers' compensation are also commonly arranged.

Yes. Send your renewal quote and schedule — we'll provide a no-obligation comparison across our panel.

Savings vary by shop, but many clients reduce premiums significantly by comparing markets and removing unnecessary cover while closing real gaps.
