Find a specialist takeaway insurance broker
Frying ranges, late opening and delivery drivers make takeaways one of the most mispriced risks on the high street. CoverBroker matches you with a broker who places takeaway risks daily.
Free, no obligation — you don't pay a fee to be matched.
How we match your takeaway risk
The right takeaway insurance broker depends on your cooking, hours and delivery setup. When you submit an enquiry we ask about these, then match on the criteria below.
Cooking type
Frying, grilling, kebab spits or wok ranges drive fire rating — brokers who know which markets price them fairly with proper maintenance.
Late opening
Opening past 11pm loads most policies. A specialist places you with insurers that expect late-night trade.
Delivery and drivers
Own drivers, platform riders or collection only — your liability and motor exposure depends on it, and must be declared.
Stock and interruption
Perishable stock, deterioration cover and business interruption sized to your weekly takings.
Your documents are safe
Upload your current takeaway policy schedule, statement of fact or renewal invitation. Here is exactly how they are handled.
Secure storage
Your insurance documents are encrypted at rest and shared only with your matched broker.
GDPR-ready
UK & EU data protection. You can delete your documents at any time.
No obligation
Free to use. If the broker cannot improve on your current terms, you simply stay where you are.
Takeaway insurance questions
- What does takeaway insurance cover?
- A typical takeaway insurance package combines contents and cooking equipment, stock (including deterioration), public, products and employers' liability, business interruption and money cover. A broker tailors it to your cooking methods, opening hours and delivery arrangements.
- Why is takeaway insurance expensive?
- Deep fat frying, late-night opening and high cash handling all load premiums — and some insurers decline takeaways entirely. A specialist broker presents your extraction cleaning, fire safety and management properly, which is often the difference between a fair price and a decline.
- Does my policy cover delivery drivers?
- Not automatically. If you employ drivers using their own cars or scooters, they need hire-and-reward motor cover, and you may carry contingent liability. Platform riders are arranged differently again. A broker makes sure your full delivery model is covered.
- What if I fry food or use a charcoal grill?
- Tell the broker upfront. High-risk cooking needs specific markets, usually with duct-cleaning and maintenance conditions. Undeclared cooking methods are one of the most common reasons takeaway claims get declined.
- What documents help a takeaway insurance broker quote accurately?
- Your current policy schedule, statement of fact and renewal invitation, plus your opening hours, cooking type and delivery setup. Upload whatever you have — your matched broker will tell you if anything else is needed.
- Is the introduction and AI review free?
- Yes. The introduction to a specialist takeaway insurance broker and the optional AI review of your current policy are both free. If a broker takes your enquiry forward, they may pay us a referral fee.
