Business insurance

Insurance for Pubs & Bars

A licensed venue carries a wide spread of risk — patrons drinking, a busy kitchen, gaming, entertainment and large crowds. Public liability is central, covering injury to patrons and damage on the premises, alongside property and contents cover for the building, fit-out, stock and equipment. Add commercial cover for fire and glass, business interruption for lost trade if you are forced to close, and workers' compensation for your bar, kitchen and floor staff. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your venue cover before the new financial year so a gap does not catch a busy, public-facing business off guard.

Common questions

Pubs & Bars — insurance questions

Why is public liability so important for a pub or bar?

Because you have crowds, alcohol and a kitchen all in one place, so the risk of an injury or incident is real. Public liability covers claims arising from injury to patrons or damage on your premises, which is essential cover for any licensed venue.

Should a pub have business interruption cover?

It is worth strong consideration. If a fire, flood or other insured event forces you to close, business interruption cover helps replace lost trade and meet ongoing costs like wages and rent while you get the venue back open.
