Bill has announced the sad news that Sticky Fingers, his London restaurant that was a haven for rock ‘n’ roll and great food, has closed its doors for good after 32 years.
Bill says that the closure is a result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic:
“This is a difficult time for many restaurants and businesses around the world. My heart goes out to all those affected by Covid. I also have the sad news to report that my beloved Sticky Fingers restaurant has closed for the last time because of the pandemic. I would like to thank everyone who has supported Sticky’s, both customers and staff, over a wonderful 32 years of business. Stay safe.”
The restaurant was a popular London eatery and a fan favourite – with American-inspired comfort food designed to get your hands messy. It was named after the Rolling Stones song of the same name.
Fans were quick to pay tribute to the restaurant on Facebook:
