FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

+-Do coffee shops legally need insurance?

Employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement if you employ staff. Other covers, such as public liability and contents insurance, are not legally required but are strongly recommended.

+-Does insurance cover espresso machines and grinders?

Yes. High-value coffee equipment can be insured under contents or specialist equipment cover, including accidental damage and theft.

+-Is takeaway-only coffee shop insurance cheaper?

Often yes. Takeaway-only operations usually have lower customer injury exposure, which can reduce premiums.

Product and public liability insurance can cover claims arising from food or drink contamination, subject to policy terms.
