Frequently asked questions
- What insurance do caterers need in Brighton?
- Caterers need public liability (most venues require £5m minimum), employers' liability, products liability for food-related claims, equipment cover, and commercial vehicle insurance if you transport food and kit.
- Does catering insurance cover food poisoning claims?
- Yes. Products liability within your policy responds to claims arising from food you've prepared and served. Cover extends to legal defence costs and compensation. Ensure your food safety documentation is up to date.
- Do I need event cancellation insurance?
- If you're financially exposed when events are cancelled—through lost deposits, non-refundable costs, or contractual penalties—event cancellation cover is essential. It protects against weather, venue issues, and unforeseen circumstances.
