Adam Handling has announced the promotion of Cleverson Cordeiro from head chef to proprietor of Frog by Adam Handling, his Michelin-starred flagship restaurant in London’s Covent Garden.

In the new role, Cordeiro will continue to oversee the kitchen and guest experience at Frog, while also taking on a deeper role in the wider Adam Handling Collection alongside the eponymous chef and his team of directors.

Cordeiro joined the Frog team ahead of the restaurant’s launch in September 2017 and is credited by Handling as being a ‘driving force’ behind its success.

“No one really knows who’s behind Frog but, the truth is, Cleverson has always been here, even before the doors opened,” says Handling.

“He’s always pushed so hard to make every service a success and he’s never let the experience for our guests fail.

“The entire restaurant team love him and our guests who know him love him too.

“This is his reward for years of amazing dedication and achievement with us and our way to make him better known outside of the Collection.

“For me, he’s not just an incredible chef or even just a friend, he’s family.”

The Adam Handling Collection also encompasses the recently relocated Ugly Butterfly in Cornwall; The Loch & The Tyne gastropub in Old Windsor; and Eve Bar, which is located below the Frog in Covent Garden.
