What does fish & chip shop insurance offer?
As a firm favourite in the UK, quality fish and chip shops are very popular. As an owner of a fish and chip shop, you’ll understand the risks when it comes to working with food, cooking utensils, potentially dangerous equipment and hot oil. Therefore, it is extremely important to protect your business, your employees and your customers.
An alternative to fish & chip shop insurance
The Retail Mutual provides business cover as an alternative for independent fish and chip shops across the UK. Established over 20 years ago, we understand the challenges associated with running a small business and are here to help. We are passionate about protecting independent restaurants on our high streets, which is why we’ve created our fish and chip shop business cover – an alternative to business insurance for fish and chip shop owners.
Regardless of where your fish and chip shop is located or how busy you are, it’s important that you have the correct protection plan. Whether it’s a burn from cooking oil or a cut on sharp equipment, some accidents are unavoidable. If an employee chooses to make a claim, this could leave you financially vulnerable. Having fish and chip shop cover in place gives you some extra reassurance.
Fish and chip shops often have unsociable trading hours to cater for evening and weekend customers. Violent crimes and antisocial behaviour are more likely at these times, so it’s important you prepare your business should this happen. You may also have customers waiting in your shop whilst food is being prepared and you must consider their safety during these times. At The Retail Mutual, we offer a flexible protection plan to suit your individual business, tailored exclusively to you as an alternative to fish & chip shop insurance.

We offer a variety of options for fish and chip shop cover. Here is a selection of our cover options:
- Employers’ liability cover – If you have employees in your fish and chip shop who are not close family members, you are legally required to have employers’ liability insurance. Regardless of whether they’re part-time or full-time staff, if they become ill or injured in the workplace, they may choose to make a claim. Our employers’ liability cover offers up to £10 million in protection and is backed by an insurance policy to meet your legal obligations.
- Stock and contents cover – Without your quality ingredients and expensive cooking equipment, your fish & chip shop wouldn’t open. Stock and contents cover ensures that equipment and ingredients are safeguarded should they become damaged from events such as flood, theft and fire.
- Business Interruption Cover – If an event occurs such as theft, flood or fire at your premises, it’s likely you’ll need time to recover and restore your shop. Business Interruption Cover includes overheads, extra wages and other payments. The Retail Mutual offers cover up to £500,000 as standard with higher limits available on request.
- Public liability cover – Public liability cover aims to protect your customers and their property. Should they or their property be damaged in your store, you may be liable. The Retail Mutual offers cover up to £5 million.
