Hospitality Insurance UK

hospitality insurance is the wider category that often sits above bar insurance, pub insurance and restaurant insurance. It is useful when a business does not fit neatly into one label, or when a venue combines alcohol sales, food service, entertainment and function income.

For many operators, the underwriting question is not simply whether the business is a bar or a restaurant. It is how the venue trades, what percentage of turnover comes from alcohol, how late it opens, whether entertainment is present and what the biggest loss would look like after a serious incident.
