Do I need buildings cover if I rent my premises?
When sourcing your business insurance policy, it is important to consider the building your sandwich shop uses in case anything happens to it. Although it is generally the landlord’s responsibility to have buildings insurance in place, you should check what it covers as you may be responsible for items such as shop fronts and or glass.

How it works
Examples of Sandwich bar Insurance in action
The £20,000 sandwich
A customer who is severely allergic to eggs discovers an employee has used mayonnaise in their vegan sandwich despite telling the staff member not to use mayonnaise. This results in a visit to the hospital due to anaphylactic shock, as well as the use of an EPI pen. The customer chooses to start legal proceedings against the sandwich bar for this mistake, including a claim for compensation, legal costs and medical fees. Thanks to the sandwich bar having Public Liability insurance, they are covered for the expenses of the claim.
