Korean Restaurant Insurance
Korean restaurants are some of the most vibrant and fast-paced hospitality venues, from tabletop grills and hot pots to busy dine-in service, takeaway, and high-value ingredients. But with this comes increased risk. Open flames, hotplates, ventilation systems, smoke, seafood handling, crowded dining areas, and staff exposure all create a risk profile that standard insurers often refuse to cover properly.
That’s why Korean restaurant owners need specialist hospitality insurance, not generic retail or café insurance.
Morgan Insurance Brokers works with a panel of specialist restaurant insurers who understand the unique risks of Korean BBQ venues, Korean fried chicken shops, traditional restaurants, and modern fusion establishments.
Why Korean Restaurants Need Specialist Insurance
Korean cuisine involves cooking styles and equipment that significantly increase fire, liability, and equipment risks.
Common Korean restaurant risks include:
- Open-flame tabletop BBQ grills
- High smoke and heat levels increasing duct and exhaust fire exposure
- Gas and charcoal cooking equipment
- Deep fryers used for Korean fried chicken
- High foot traffic in dine-in areas
- Slip and fall hazards from spills and steam condensation
- Seafood storage and contamination risks
- Staff burns, cuts, and manual handling injuries
- Potential alcohol-related incidents if you serve soju or Korean beer
These risks mean Korean restaurants require specialist cover tailored to high-heat cooking, not basic restaurant insurance.
Korean Restaurant Insurance Cover Options
A customised Korean Restaurant Insurance Package protects you from operational hazards, equipment failures, staff risks, and unexpected events.
Business Property & Contents
Covers your restaurant fit-out, décor, tables, chairs, cooking appliances, signage, and general contents from fire, theft, vandalism, and accidental damage.
Public & Products Liability
Absolutely essential for Korean BBQ venues. Covers injuries or property damage involving:

This is one of the most important insurance protections for Korean restaurants.
Machinery Breakdown
Korean restaurants rely heavily on:
- Commercial grills
- Ventilation hoods & ducting
- Deep fryers
- Refrigeration & cool rooms
- Freezers
- Hot plates & gas appliances
A breakdown during service can halt operations. Machinery breakdown ensures fast repair or replacement.

Money & Theft

Management Liability Insurance
Korean restaurants often employ a mix of full-time chefs, casual staff, students, and family workers. This increases the risk of HR-related claims.
Management Liability protects owners and directors from:
- Unfair dismissal claims
- Casual employment disputes
- Bullying or harassment allegations
- OH&S breaches and investigations
- Wage or award disputes
- Claims of mismanagement
This cover is vital for any hospitality business with staff.
Cyber Insurance
Most Korean restaurants rely on multiple digital systems, including POS, QR code menus, food delivery platforms, loyalty apps, and bookings.
Cyber Insurance protects your business from:
- Ransomware
- Hacked payment systems
- Customer data breaches
- Invoice fraud
- Booking system outages
Even small restaurants are common cyber targets.
Why Standard Insurers Often Decline Korean Restaurants
Korean BBQ restaurants, especially those with tabletop grills and charcoal cooking, are considered high-risk by general insurers.
Common issues with standard policies include:
- Exclusions for open-flame or solid fuel cooking
- No machinery breakdown cover
- Inadequate business interruption limits
- Poor food spoilage protection
- Reduced liability cover for burns or heat-related injuries
- Exclusions for alcohol-related incidents
Morgan Insurance Brokers avoids these pitfalls by using specialist hospitality insurers that welcome Korean restaurants and understand their equipment, cooking processes, and risk management needs.

Steakhouse Insurance
Steakhouses are known for high-quality dining, commercial grills, open flames, and busy service, but they also face some of the highest risks in the hospitality industry. From high-temperature cooking equipment and open-flame grills to premium stock and busy dining rooms, steakhouses require specialist insurance, not generic café or restaurant cover.
Morgan Insurance Brokers works with a panel of specialist hospitality insurers who understand the unique risks of steakhouses and can provide the tailored protection your venue needs.
Why Steakhouses Need Specialist Insurance
Steakhouses operate differently to standard restaurants. They typically use larger, hotter, and more complex cooking appliances, handle high-value food products, and often serve alcohol, all of which increase risk.
Common steakhouse risks include:
- High fire risk from chargrills, solid fuel grills, gas appliances, and open flame cooking
- Smoke and grease build-up, leading to fire hazards in ducts and exhaust systems
- Slip and fall risks from busy dining floors and kitchen spills
- Premium stock losses, such as aged steaks, seafood, and fine wine
- Burns and injuries from high-heat cooking environments
- Alcohol-related incidents for steakhouses that offer bar service
- Equipment breakdown, which can halt service during peak times
These risks make it essential to work with a broker who specialises in restaurants and understands what steakhouses truly need.
Steakhouse Insurance Cover Options
A tailored Steakhouse Insurance Package protects your business from everyday hazards, equipment failure, staff-related risks, and unexpected events.
Business Property & Contents
Protects your restaurant fit-out, décor, kitchen equipment, tables, chairs, and stock against fire, theft, storm damage, or accidental loss.
Public & Products Liability
One of the most important covers for steakhouses. Protects your business if a customer is injured or becomes ill from food served at your venue. Covers slip-and-fall incidents, burns, or allergic reactions.
Machinery Breakdown
Steakhouses rely heavily on equipment such as:
- Chargrills & commercial grills
- Refrigeration & cool rooms
- Freezers
- Ovens & hotplates
- Ventilation & extraction systems
- Salamanders
- Dishwashers
If any of these fail, service stops. Machinery breakdown keeps your venue running.
Electronic Breakdown
Covers failures of:
- POS systems
- Ordering tablets
- Temperature control systems
- Kitchen display screens
- Refrigeration electronics
Stock & Food Spoilage

Glass & Signage
Covers the accidental breakage of internal and external glass, including windows, mirrors, and illuminated signage.
Money & Theft
Protection against burglary, cash theft, and vandals targeting the venue.
Management Liability Insurance
Steakhouses often employ a mix of full-time chefs, casual waitstaff, bartenders, and supervisors. This creates HR and compliance risks that standard policies do not cover.
Management Liability protects against:
- Unfair dismissal claims
- Employee harassment or discrimination claims
- OH&S breaches or investigations
- Allegations of mismanagement
- Wage and award disputes
This is critical cover for any hospitality venue with staff.
Cyber Insurance
Many steakhouses rely on digital systems for online bookings, payment systems, loyalty programs, QR codes, and POS integration.
Cyber Insurance protects your business from:
- Ransomware
- Hacked POS systems
- Data breaches
- Invoice fraud
- Website or reservation system outages
Cyber attacks can happen to any business, including small restaurants.
Why Standard Insurers Often Decline Steakhouses
Steakhouses present a combination of high fire exposure, high foot traffic, expensive equipment, and alcohol service — which many standard insurers avoid.
Typical exclusions from general insurers include:
- No cover for grill or solid fuel cooking fires
- Missing machinery breakdown cover
- Limited business interruption cover
- Exclusions for food poisoning
- Exclusions for bar or liquor-related incidents
Morgan Insurance Brokers works exclusively with hospitality-focused insurers who specialise in higher-risk venues and understand steakhouse operations.

Pub Insurance
Running a pub is rewarding, but it also involves significant risks that make pub insurance essential for protecting your business. With alcohol service, gaming areas, live entertainment, commercial kitchens, staff management, and high customer traffic, pubs face exposures that most standard insurers cannot or will not cover.
That’s why pub owners need specialist pub insurance designed specifically for licensed venues, not generic business policies filled with exclusions.
Morgan Insurance Brokers works with a panel of specialist hospitality insurers who understand the risks involved in running pubs, hotels, taverns, sports bars, and entertainment venues.
Why Standard Insurers Often Refuse to Cover Pubs
Pubs operate in a higher-risk category due to their licensing, trading hours, and customer volume. Standard commercial insurers usually decline cover or impose major exclusions.
Common reasons insurers avoid pubs include:
- Alcohol-related incidents and intoxication exposure
- High foot traffic and increased slip/trip claim frequency
- Security requirements and crowd management risks
- Live music, entertainment, or gaming machines
- Late-night trading hours
- Increased fire hazards in commercial kitchens
- Complex liquor licensing obligations
Because of these risks, pubs require tailored insurance policies from hospitality-specific insurers, not general business markets.
Comprehensive Pub Insurance Cover
A tailored Pub Insurance Package includes all core protections needed for licensed venues.
Business Property & Contents
Covers your building fit-out, furniture, stock, commercial kitchen, entertainment equipment, and bar systems from fire, vandalism, theft, or accidental damage.
Public & Products Liability
One of the most important covers for pubs. Protects you if a patron or third party is injured or their property is damaged. This includes alcohol-related incidents, slips and falls, and food-related claims.
Machinery Breakdown
Covers refrigeration units, cool rooms, beer line chillers, kitchen equipment, and other machinery essential to your venue’s operations.
Electronic Breakdown
Covers POS terminals, ordering tablets, sound systems, lighting controls, and refrigeration electronics.
Business Interruption
Provides income replacement if your pub is unable to trade following an insured event, such as fire or significant equipment failure. Helps you pay wages, rent, utilities, and ongoing expenses.
Glass & Signage
Covers accidental breakage of external windows, mirrors, internal glass panels, and illuminated signage.
Theft & Money
Protects against burglary, break-ins, vandalism, and theft of cash from the premises.
Cyber Insurance
Protects your venue’s digital systems, including bookings, EFTPOS, gaming databases, and customer data, from cyber attacks, ransomware, or data breaches.
Management Liability Insurance
With a large team of casual, part-time, and full-time staff, pubs face significant employment-related risks. Management Liability Insurance protects the business and decision-makers from claims such as:
- Bullying or harassment allegations
- Unfair dismissal
- Wage and award disputes
- OH&S investigations
- Breach of duty claims
This is critical protection for licensed venues with complex staffing structures.
Additional Cover Considerations for Pubs
Pubs often have unique risks not found in other hospitality businesses.
Gaming Machine Cover
If your pub operates gaming machines, you may require specialist cover for physical damage, theft, breakdown, or loss of income.
Outdoor Smoking Areas & Beer Gardens
Higher slip and fall risk, weather exposure, and glass breakage incidents are more common in these areas.
Live Entertainment & Bands
Events create additional liability risk that must be properly insured.
Function & Private Event Areas
Food safety, crowd control, and alcohol service risks increase during events.
A specialist broker ensures every element of your venue is fully covered, without hidden exclusions.
Why You Need a Specialist Hospitality Broker

Catering Business Insurance | Specialist Hospitality Broker
Catering businesses operate in fast-paced, unpredictable environments. Whether you run a commercial kitchen, cater weddings and corporate events, operate a food truck, or prepare meals onsite in private homes, your business faces a wide range of risks.
Because caterers work off-site, transport equipment, and handle food in unfamiliar locations, standard insurers often cannot cover catering businesses properly. Many impose exclusions for off-site cooking, food transport, equipment damage, or liability at third-party venues.
Morgan Insurance Brokers specialises in hospitality insurance and catering insurance, giving you access to a panel of insurers who understand the risks of mobile food operations.
Why Catering Businesses Need Specialist Insurance
Caterers face risks that differ significantly from fixed-location restaurants. Every venue, event, and job brings new challenges.
Common risks include:
- Food transport hazards, such as temperature issues or spoilage during transit
- Slip, trip, and burn risks while working in unfamiliar kitchens or event venues
- Equipment damage during loading, unloading, or while in use
- Food contamination, cross-contamination, or allergen exposure
- Venue property damage, especially when cooking on-site
- Client expectation risks, especially for weddings and corporate events
These risks often fall outside standard business insurance. Working with a specialist broker ensures every exposure is covered.
Business Package Insurance for Catering Businesses
A Catering Business Insurance Package brings your essential covers together into one tailored policy.

Essential protection if a client, venue guest, or member of the public claims injury or property damage. It also covers allegations of food poisoning, allergic reactions, or contamination, major risks for caterers.
Machinery Breakdown
Covers refrigeration units, bain-maries, ovens, and commercial kitchen appliances if they break down unexpectedly.

Goods in Transit

Business Interruption

The Risks of Catering at Different Locations
Caterers face added complexity by working across multiple venues, each with unique safety challenges. These risks often cause standard insurers to decline cover.
Hospitality Venues (Function Centres, Hotels, Halls)
- Unfamiliar kitchens and layouts
- Wet flooring creating slip risks
- Shared equipment concerns
- High-volume service pressure
Private Homes
- No commercial ventilation or safe cooking areas
- Tripping hazards and cramped spaces
- Client property damage risks
- Limited access for equipment loading
Outdoor Events & Festivals
- Weather exposure affecting food safety
- Limited power access requiring generators
- Uneven ground increasing fall risks
- Greater risk of theft when site security is low
Corporate Offices
- Building restrictions on heat sources
- Strict safety and compliance regulations
- Risks from moving bulky equipment through office spaces
Because every location presents different hazards, you need insurance that covers any venue, any time — something standard business policies rarely allow.
Management Liability Insurance
Protects owners and management from claims involving employment practices, OH&S breaches, wage disputes, and regulatory actions. Essential for any catering business with staff.
Cyber Insurance
Online bookings, invoices, payment systems, and client data increase your cyber exposure. Cyber Insurance covers ransomware, hacked payment systems, and data breaches including recovery costs and lost income.
Why Standard Insurers Often Decline Caterers
Caterers are viewed as high-risk because of:
- Off-site food preparation
- Mobile operations
- Food poisoning liability
- Expensive equipment frequently transported
- Third-party venue interactions
Morgan Insurance Brokers uses a specialist panel of insurers who understand these risks and provide comprehensive cover without unreasonable exclusions.

Sushi Train Restaurant Insurance | Specialist Hospitality Cover
Sushi train restaurants are fast-paced, equipment-heavy, and highly specialised. With conveyor belt systems, refrigeration displays, raw seafood handling, and continuous customer turnover, the risks are very different from a standard restaurant.
To protect your business properly, you need tailored sushi train restaurant insurance that covers your equipment, staff, food safety risks, and customers.
At Morgan Insurance Brokers, we specialise in hospitality insurance and work with a panel of insurers who understand the unique risks of sushi train operations. Standard insurers rarely cover these venues correctly, but our specialist market does.

- High fire risk from tempura fryers, hot plates, gas appliances, or blowtorches

Italian Restaurant Insurance | Specialist Hospitality Cover
Italian restaurants are known for their warmth, great food, and lively atmosphere but running one also involves significant business risks. From hot kitchens and open flames to busy dining areas and valuable wine collections, protecting your restaurant with the right insurance is essential.
At Morgan Insurance Brokers, we specialise in hospitality insurance. We understand the unique challenges Italian restaurants face and work with a panel of specialist insurers to provide complete, affordable protection.
Why Italian Restaurants Need Specialised Insurance
Italian restaurants combine dine-in service, takeaway, and sometimes catering, which means exposure to multiple risks that many standard insurers overlook.
Common risk factors include:
- Fire hazards: Open flames, pizza ovens, and deep fryers increase fire potential.
- Slippery floors: Spilled liquids and busy kitchens heighten the risk of customer or staff injuries.
- High-value contents: Imported wines, cured meats, and specialty ingredients add significant stock value.
- Licensing and compliance: Serving alcohol introduces additional public liability and regulatory exposure.
Because of these risks, many general insurers exclude restaurants from standard business policies leaving owners without proper protection.
Business Package Insurance for Italian Restaurants
A Business Package Insurance Policy combines all essential covers into one flexible, cost-effective solution tailored to your restaurant.
Contents and Stock
Covers your kitchen equipment, furniture, décor, and ingredients against fire, theft, or accidental damage.

Italian restaurants often employ a mix of full-time, casual, and seasonal staff, making this protection especially important.
Cyber Insurance
With online reservations, delivery apps, and digital payments now standard, Cyber Insurance protects your restaurant from hacking, ransomware, and data breaches. It covers recovery costs, business downtime, and reputational damage.
Why Standard Insurers Often Decline Restaurants

Wine Bar Insurance – Specialist Cover for Licensed Venues
Running a wine bar or licensed venue comes with unique risks, from liquor-related incidents to property damage, staff safety, theft, and public liability exposure. The right insurance protects your business, your customers, and your revenue.
At Morgan Insurance Brokers, we specialise in insurance solutions for hospitality venues, including wine bars, small bars, lounge bars, wine-tasting rooms, cocktail bars, and licensed restaurants across Australia.
Why Wine Bars Need Specialised Insurance
Wine bars face risks that aren’t adequately covered by standard business insurance. Because alcohol service increases the likelihood of injury, damage, and liability claims, insurers treat licensed venues differently.
Common risks include:
- Slip-and-fall injuries after alcohol consumption
- Damage to furniture, fit-out and stock
- Assault or intoxication-related incidents
- Fire hazards from kitchens or electrical equipment
- Theft of premium wines and POS equipment
- Staff injuries while carrying trays, glasses or bottles
- Business interruption from unforeseen events
A tailored policy ensures your venue is covered against the risks specific to hospitality and licensed premises.
What Does Wine Bar Insurance Typically Cover?
1. Public & Products Liability Insurance
Public Liability Insurance protects you if a customer, patron, supplier, or member of the public is injured or has property damaged while on your premises.
Typical scenarios:
- A customer trips on a wet floor
- Intoxicated patron injures another guest
- A faulty chair collapses, causing injury
- Someone alleges they were overserved alcohol
Most wine bars opt for $20M liability cover, though $10M may be sufficient for smaller venues.

Covers damage to:
- Furniture, bar counters, stools, and décor
- Kitchen equipment
- Glassware and wine racks
- POS systems and electronics
- Cellar stock, including premium wines
Events covered may include fire, storm, vandalism, burst pipes, or accidental damage.
3. Theft & Stock Insurance
Wine bars often hold high-value stock (bottles, rare wines, spirits). This covers:
- Break-ins
- Theft by forced entry
- Employee-related theft (optional)
4. Business Interruption Cover
If an insured event forces your wine bar to close temporarily, this covers:
- Lost income
- Ongoing expenses (wages, rent, electricity)
- Temporary relocation costs
This can be the difference between reopening or closing permanently after a major incident.
5. Machinery Breakdown
Covers refrigeration units, wine fridges, cool rooms and bar equipment.
Ideal for venues storing expensive stock at controlled temperatures.

Protects owners and directors from claims related to:
- Employment disputes
- Alleged unfair dismissal
- Mismanagement claims
7. Workers Compensation
Mandatory if you employ staff. We help ensure compliance with state-based requirements.
How Much Does Wine Bar Insurance Cost in Australia?
Premiums vary based on:
- Location
- Size of venue
- Annual turnover
- Whether you serve food
- Trading hours
- Security measures
- Claims history
Typical premium range:
$3,000 – $18,000 per year depending on coverage and venue type.
For example:
- Small wine bar with minimal food: $3,000–$6,000
- Medium venue with kitchen: $6,000–$12,000
- Larger or late-trading venues: $12,000+
To ensure accuracy, insurers always require a detailed profile of your operations.
What Isn’t Covered? (Common Exclusions)
Most policies will not cover:
- Intentionally serving intoxicated patrons
- Claims related to illegal activity
- Poor risk management procedures
- Wear and tear
- Loss of stock due to spoilage unless spoilage cover is added
A broker helps you understand what is and isn’t included so there are no surprises at claim time.

Working with a hospitality-focused insurance broker ensures:
- Access to insurers who specialise in licensed venues
- Lower premiums from correct risk classification
- Custom cover based on your exact operations
- Faster claims processing
- Accurate disclosure to avoid declined claims
Morgan Insurance Brokers works with wine bars nationwide, ensuring you are fully protected at competitive pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need public liability insurance to operate a wine bar?
Yes. It is essential and often required by your lease agreement and licensing authority.
Does insurance cover incidents involving intoxicated patrons?
Yes, provided your staff follow RSA training and responsible service obligations.
Can I insure my premium wine collection?
Absolutely. High-value stock can be specifically listed or insured under general contents.
Does insurance cover delivery drivers or suppliers on site?
Yes. Public liability covers injuries to third parties including suppliers, contractors, or visitors.

What Type of Insurance Does a Thai Restaurant Need?
Running a Thai restaurant is rewarding, combining authentic flavours, busy service, and loyal customers. But whether you run a dine-in restaurant, takeaway, or both, your business faces daily risks that could interrupt operations or cause financial loss.
A tailored Thai restaurant insurance package helps protect your property, staff, and reputation, ensuring your business can keep serving customers no matter what happens.
At Morgan Insurance Brokers, we specialise in hospitality insurance for restaurants, cafés, and takeaway businesses across Australia. We understand the risks involved in running a Thai restaurant and know which insurers will cover you correctly.
Why Thai Restaurants Need Specialist Insurance
Thai restaurants often use high-heat cooking methods, fresh ingredients, and extended trading hours — all of which come with unique risks.
Key risk factors include:
- Fire hazard: Wok cooking, gas burners, and oil increase the potential for kitchen fires.
- Slippery floors: Frequent cleaning and high-traffic kitchens make slip and fall accidents more likely.
- Food safety: Handling seafood, chicken, and perishable ingredients requires constant temperature control to prevent spoilage or contamination.
Because of these risks, many standard insurers won’t offer full cover to restaurants without restrictions. That’s why you need a specialist hospitality broker who understands your industry.
Business Package Insurance for Thai Restaurants
A Business Package Insurance Policy provides essential protection for your restaurant and takeaway operations. It combines multiple covers into one easy-to-manage policy.

Thai restaurants often rely on a mix of full-time and casual staff, which can increase HR-related risks. This cover provides legal and financial protection if disputes or investigations occur.
Cyber Insurance
Many Thai restaurants use online ordering systems, digital payment platforms, and customer databases. Cyber Insurance protects your business against hacking, ransomware, or data breaches, helping you recover lost income and protect your reputation.
Why Standard Insurers May Not Cover You
High-heat cooking, commercial exhaust systems, and long hours make Thai restaurants a higher-risk category for insurers. Many general insurance companies won’t quote for dine-in restaurants or those with takeaway operations due to increased fire and liability exposure.
Morgan Insurance Brokers works with a panel of specialist hospitality insurers who understand these risks. We ensure your policy includes comprehensive protection for your kitchen setup, food handling, and staff operations, without unnecessary exclusions.

What Type of Insurance Does a Fish and Chip Shop Need?
Owning a fish and chip shop is a true Australian tradition. But behind the fryers and the fresh seafood, there are serious business risks that every operator needs to manage carefully. From fire hazards to slippery floors and food spoilage, the right fish and chip shop insurance protects your business, your staff, and your customers.
At Morgan Insurance Brokers, we specialise in hospitality insurance. We understand the unique risks of running a fish and chip shop and can tailor a package that keeps your business safe and compliant.
Why Fish and Chip Shops Need Specialised Insurance
Fish and chip shops face risks that many standard insurers don’t fully understand. Common challenges include:
- Fire Risk: Large deep fryers, oil vapours, and cooking equipment create a high fire risk.
- Slippery Floors: Constant handling of oil and seafood can lead to slip and fall hazards.
- Cold Room Safety: Some shops have cold rooms insulated with Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), which is highly flammable and often excluded by standard insurers.
- Seafood Storage: Fresh and frozen seafood must be stored at strict temperatures. Power outages or equipment failures can cause stock spoilage and major financial loss.
These operational realities make it crucial to choose an insurance broker who understands hospitality risks and works with insurers that specialise in food and takeaway businesses.
Business Package Insurance for Fish and Chip Shops
A Business Package Insurance Policy provides a strong foundation for protecting your fish and chip shop. It combines several essential types of cover into one flexible policy.
Contents and Stock
Covers your cooking equipment, refrigeration units, fryers, counters, and stock from fire, theft, or accidental damage. Fresh seafood, frozen chips, and other perishables can also be insured against spoilage.
Public Liability
Protects you if a customer or member of the public is injured or their property is damaged due to your business activities. Slippery flooring and hot oil hazards make this one of the most important covers for any fish and chip shop.
Machinery Breakdown
Provides cover for the sudden failure of key equipment such as cold rooms, fryers, or refrigeration units. It includes the cost of repairs or replacement to keep your business trading.
Electronic Breakdown
Protects POS systems, EFTPOS terminals, and other electronic devices against power surge or equipment malfunction.
Glass Cover
Covers accidental damage to shopfront windows, internal glass partitions, and display cabinets.
Business Interruption
Helps you maintain income and cover ongoing expenses if your shop is unable to trade after an insured event such as fire or storm damage.
Money and Theft Cover
Protects against theft or damage to cash and property caused by break-ins or burglary.
Management Liability Insurance
If your shop employs staff, Management Liability Insurance protects the owners and management team from claims or investigations related to employment practices, safety breaches, or mismanagement.
This can include:
- Unfair dismissal or discrimination claims
- Occupational health and safety investigations
- Allegations of employee harassment or bullying
- Regulatory fines or penalties
Fish and chip shops often rely on casual and part-time staff, making this type of insurance an important safeguard.
Cyber Insurance
Even small hospitality businesses use technology daily, from digital EFTPOS terminals and delivery platforms to online ordering systems. Cyber Insurance protects your business from cybercrime, ransomware, or data breaches that could disrupt your operations or compromise customer details.
Why Standard Insurers May Decline or Limit Cover
Because of the high fire load from cooking oils, EPS panelling, and seafood storage risks, many general insurers are unwilling to cover fish and chip shops. Those that do often impose strict conditions or high excesses.
Morgan Insurance Brokers has access to a panel of specialist hospitality insurers who understand the industry and can provide competitive cover even for higher-risk setups. We ensure your policy includes fire coverage, stock protection, and business interruption tailored to your business’s risk profile.

Cocktail Bar Insurance
Running a cocktail bar requires skill, creativity, and a strong understanding of your customers. It also means facing higher business risks than most other hospitality venues. From late-night trading and liquor service to high-value equipment and customer safety, having the right insurance is essential.
Many standard insurers will not cover cocktail bars or licensed venues because of the increased risks associated with alcohol service and nightlife operations. This is where Morgan Insurance Brokers can help.
We specialise in hospitality insurance and have access to a panel of specialist insurers who understand the industry and can offer the right protection for cocktail bars.
Why Standard Insurers Often Refuse to Cover Cocktail Bars
Most general insurers exclude or limit cover for bars and night-time venues. This happens because they classify licensed premises as high-risk due to factors such as:
- Alcohol service and intoxication-related incidents
- High customer turnover and foot traffic
- Late-night trading hours
- Entertainment, live music, or security requirements
- Strict licensing and compliance obligations
Standard business insurers often refuse to quote or offer policies with limited cover, exclusions, or inflated premiums. This leaves many cocktail bar owners underinsured or completely unprotected.
Comprehensive Cocktail Bar Insurance Cover
Morgan Insurance Brokers works with a panel of specialist hospitality insurers that provide tailored cover for licensed venues. Your cocktail bar insurance package can include the following protections:
Business Property and Contents
Covers your bar’s fit-out, furniture, décor, glassware, and stock against fire, theft, vandalism, and accidental damage.
Public and Products Liability
Protects your business if a patron or third party is injured, or their property is damaged, because of your operations. Public Liability Insurance is one of the most important covers for any licensed venue.
Machinery and Electronic Breakdown
Covers essential equipment such as refrigeration units, POS systems, and bar appliances against electrical or mechanical failure.
Business Interruption
Provides financial support if you are unable to trade following an insured event such as fire, flood, or storm. It helps you cover ongoing costs such as rent, wages, and utilities.
Glass and Signage
Covers the replacement of internal glass, shopfront windows, and illuminated signs if they are accidentally damaged.
Theft and Money Cover
Protects your business from theft, burglary, or cash loss on the premises.
Cyber Insurance
Safeguards your digital systems, payment terminals, and customer data from hacking, ransomware, or online fraud.
Management Liability Insurance
If your bar employs staff, Management Liability Insurance protects you and your management team from claims and investigations. This includes allegations of unfair dismissal, discrimination, bullying, or breaches of occupational health and safety laws.
This type of insurance is particularly important in hospitality, where casual employment, shift work, and licensing compliance can increase the risk of disputes.
