Frequently asked questions
Mobile catering insurance is a specialist type of business insurance designed for traders who sell food and drink from a mobile setup such as a food van, catering trailer, market stall, or pop-up. It typically includes public liability, products liability, and employers’ liability, and can also cover your vehicle, equipment, and stock.
Employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement in the UK if you employ anyone, even on a casual or part-time basis.
While public liability insurance is not legally mandated, it is a practical necessity — most event organisers, councils, and market operators will require you to hold at least £5 million of public liability cover before they will allow you to trade.
Public liability covers claims made against you if a member of the public suffers an injury or property damage as a result of your business activities. For example, if a customer slips near your stall. Products liability covers claims arising from food or drink you have sold. For example, if a customer suffers food poisoning from something they bought from you. Moving Food policies include both as standard.
Moving Food specialises in the mobile catering and street food sector. Typical customers include catering trailers, burger van operators, fish and chip vans, ice cream vans, hog roast caterers, baked potato stalls, coffee rounds, farmers’ market traders, buffet caterers, market stall holders, and event caterers of all kinds.
