Jordan Frieda’s two restaurant companies filed accounts to 31 August 2025 showing net assets of £1,349,003 and £236,053 — and both crossed from accumulated losses into accumulated profit in the same year. Those are filed figures, read from Companies House today, not estimates.

He is also a person with significant control of Padella in the “more than 25% but not more than 50%” band — alongside his business partner and, notably, his father John Frieda. And there is a new company: Padella Kingly Limited, incorporated on 27 June 2025.

Last updated: 21 October 2026. Company records and filed accounts retrieved from Companies House on this date.

Every Company He Is Registered To

From his Companies House officer record, date of birth June 1977.

Two of these are the restaurants people know: Trullo in Islington, incorporated 2008, and Padella, incorporated 2014, both run with the chef Tim Siadatan. The 1971 company predates him by six years and the music company was dissolved.

The Filed Accounts, Side by Side

Both companies have a 31 August year end, so they compare directly. These figures are read from the filings themselves.

How Much of It Is His

This is where most celebrity-business articles guess. The register discloses it — as a band.

The paternal involvement is the genuinely interesting disclosure. John Frieda is not a silent name on a family tree here — he is a registered person with significant control of the company. That is a different relationship from the one most “son of a famous parent” pieces describe.

Why This Is Not a Net Worth Figure

The arithmetic people do — add the net assets, apply a guessed percentage, print a number — fails at every step. Net assets are not cash, a band is not a percentage, and a shareholder only realises value on a dividend or a sale. We take the same line on Lulu, his mother, whose figures are equally unverifiable.

The New Company

Padella Kingly Limited was incorporated on 27 June 2025, is active, and is registered under the same SIC code as the existing restaurants — 56101, licensed restaurants.

• A separate limited company per site is normal in hospitality. It ring-fences the risk and makes each location financeable on its own.
• Kingly Street is in Soho, which would place a new site some way west of the existing Borough Market and Shoreditch operations.
• An incorporation is a filing, not an opening. Companies are formed well ahead of trading, and some never trade at all.
• It will file its first accounts in due course, at which point there will be something to read rather than infer.
• This is what original research looks like — a free public register, checked, showing something no profile of him currently mentions.

The Acting Career That Came First

Before the restaurants there was a decade in performance, and it is a real part of the record rather than a footnote.

• Educated at Eton College and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.
• Film and television work in the early 2000s, before the move into hospitality.
• Stage work including at the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, one of London’s more demanding venues for a young actor.
• The pivot was to front of house, which is a performance discipline of its own — and arguably why it worked.
• He is the son of Lulu and John Frieda, which opened doors and, on the evidence of the filings, did not do the work.

How to Check Any of This Yourself

Everything above came from a free public register, and you can repeat it in about five minutes.

• Search the person on Companies House, then open their officer appointments. Match on month and year of birth — names repeat.
• Open each company and read the filing history, filtered to accounts.
• Open the most recent accounts as a document. Small-company filings are short and the balance sheet is usually on one page.
• Look for net assets and the profit and loss account line. The second is cumulative and tells you the direction of travel.
• Check the persons with significant control register for who actually owns it, in bands.
• Note whether the accounts are audited. Most small companies claim exemption, and that is worth knowing before you quote a figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Jordan Frieda’s net worth?

It cannot be calculated, and this page does not publish a figure. What can be read are his companies’ filed accounts — and company net assets are not a person’s wealth.

What do the filed accounts actually show?

For the financial year ended 31 August 2025: Padella Limited net assets of £1,349,003 and Trullo Limited net assets of £236,053. Both figures are up sharply on the prior year.

Did the restaurants become profitable?

Both crossed from accumulated losses into accumulated profit in the same year. Padella’s profit and loss account moved from minus £122,319 to plus £448,753; Trullo’s from minus £128,473 to plus £26,013.

How much of Padella does he own?

The register discloses a band, not a number. He is a person with significant control in the “more than 25% but not more than 50%” share and voting category — as are Timothy Joseph Siadatan and John Alan Howard Frieda, his father.

So the company money is not his?

Correct, and this is the point most profiles miss. Net assets belong to the company. A shareholder realises value through dividends or a sale, and neither the dividends nor any sale terms are public.

Is he opening something new?

Padella Kingly Limited was incorporated on 27 June 2025 and is active, registered to licensed restaurants. That is a filing, not an announcement — but it is a new company, recently formed, in the restaurant trade.

Are the accounts audited?

No. Both companies claimed audit exemption for the year ended 31 August 2025, so these are unaudited filings prepared for the registrar.

Who are his parents?

The singer Lulu and the hairdresser John Frieda. His father is also a person with significant control of Padella Limited, which is a more substantial connection than the usual celebrity-parent note.

Was he really an actor?

Yes, before the restaurants. He worked in film, television and on stage, including at the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, before moving into hospitality.

Why do restaurateur net worth figures vary so much?

Because people confuse turnover with profit, and company net assets with personal wealth. Restaurants are capital-hungry and low-margin: a famous name on the door says almost nothing about what the owner is worth.

Conclusion

The filed numbers are better than any estimate, and they say something specific: both businesses turned a corner in the year to 31 August 2025. Padella’s net assets rose to £1,349,003 and Trullo’s to £236,053, and both wiped out accumulated losses in the process.

What they do not say is what Jordan Frieda is worth. He holds a disclosed band rather than a published percentage, the assets belong to the companies rather than to him, and dividends are not public. Anyone printing a precise figure is filling in the gaps with imagination.

And there is a new company on the register, formed in June 2025. That is the kind of thing a free public database tells you and a net worth article never does.

All financial figures are taken from unaudited accounts filed at Companies House for the financial year ended 31 August 2025, retrieved on 21 October 2026. Company net assets are not an individual’s wealth, and no net worth figure is published here because none can be verified. Ownership is disclosed by the register in bands rather than exact percentages. An incorporation is a filing and does not indicate that a business is trading.
