How fish and chip shop insurance works
A range of covers specially designed for chip shops
Fish and chip shops are the pride of Britain. You’ll often be busy, with kitchen staff working tirelessly and customers coming and going frequently. As the owner or manager of a fish and chip shop, it’s important you have the right insurance policy in place as the work you do carries a number of risks and perils. Working on a premise which not only deals with the public, but also deals with hot oil, sharp kitchen utensils and general kitchen heat means you need to ensure that you, your employees and the public are protected should an accident happen. The food you prepare and serve leaves you open to claims of food contamination or poisoning – which is why we source fish and chip shop insurance that includes product liability insurance to protect you from such claims.
At The Insurance Octopus, we find comprehensive cheap business insurance policies that are designed to be flexible, allowing you to tailor your fish and chips shop insurance to the way you want it, ensuring you’ve got all of the essential cover you need in one simple business insurance policy.

Claims due to fire tend to be one of the more common claim types made by fish and chip shops. You’ll be required to carry out good housekeeping of all fryers in place and look after general kitchen equipment. In return, insurers will be able to provide better insurance prices. Food poisoning can also be another popular cause for claims, with the public suffering from improperly stored or prepared food. As the owner of a chip chop, you are at risk from a multitude of risks and perils, from malicious damage to theft of stock by burglary or theft of monies by an employee. All of these risks factors need to be considered when looking for a comprehensive retail shop insurance policy that covers your fish and chip business. To help ensure that your business is highly profitable you need to protect it and yourself from financial loss.
Insurance in the form of Fish and Chip Shop Insurance can also protect you against compensation claims and legal expenses. Even if you win a case, legal fees can be considerable so it is important for your financial success that you are covered by public & employers liability insurance.

How it works
Examples of Fish & chip shop insurance in action
Soggy fish and chips
After intense flooding caused by sudden, heavy rainfall, the owner of a fish and chips shop finds that their shop has become waterlogged, damaging the chairs, tables, counter and other furniture of the property – including all his staff’s lockers which are at the rear of the property. The computer and tills are also non-functional. However, the owner had taken out public liability insurance, contents and stock cover the previous year, covering him for his staff’s personal effects as well as fixtures, fittings and electronic items.
