Do i need insurance

[Steved12]

Im getting a pub soon and i'm thinking about getting a bouncy castle in the garden. Do i need insurance by law?

[Tina g]

I would speak to an insurance company for advice and clarification especillay with the news last week about that poor boy.

Try these for starters

Public House Insurance

i think with what has gone on in the past,that it would be a wise thing to do.

Or don't bother

Lots of dirty kids running about in their socks on a hot day...

Yes. Better to keep the garden free of "kids" and reserve it for the more discerning customer who wants a quiet drink without getting beer spilt down them after having their table "nudged" by one of the little treasures.

Also, ban smoking in your pub's garden too. You'd be surprised what it does to your takings once word gets round!

[NORMANTHEDOG]

yeah,it will kill it.

[New Judge]

No, I doubt that would be the result, Norm.

I know a number of people in the licenced trade who have gone down this route. They've been pleasantly surprised with the results.

Not everybody who likes a drink particularly likes to be surrounded by "kids". Indeed many of them go out precisely to get away from them (having paid a "baby" sitter)and they are often disappointed.

i agree with newjudge
where ever there is kids about i leave, so you will loose a few customers that dont want to be surrounded with kids , me for 1

You do not need Public Liability Insurance by law - although it is wise to have it - as this will protect you against claims from children jumping off it etc.

Your standard Public House Insurance generally will not cover you for a Bouncy Castle as standard, you must speak to your broker and get them to include this as an addition to the policy. You will probably end up paying more to insure it than the extra business you would make as a result of it
