I heard it was about being denied food at 10:20pm. A gentleman was in the bar area watching the football game and wanted to order food. Tim, the owner, told him the kitchen was closed. Why is this place allowed to serve booze until 1am and not let people get food to somber up. Sounds like Tim wants customers driving away drunk and crashing into islands.

Why is Lavender always in the news? Why aren't we having these issues with other local businesses? I for one am tired of it. Luckely I don't care much for their food anyway or I would stop going there. Sudbury is a nice, safe, quiet town. We don't need disturbances and town employees getting hammered on route to their third OUI.

Close this joint down for good.

@ Sudbury Citizen- I heard the same story , a friend of mine was there and heard the whole thing. Correct me if I'm wrong but didnt Mr Fong state publicly that minimal food was available after certain hours?
Funny how we never hear about problems at Lotus !

I wonder if the person involved approached the police and asked "may I help you?"

Was everyone accounted for? No missing persons?

I am a bit confused: how many people were at Lavender when this situation occurred? If I recall correctly, when Mr. Fong and his lawyer sat before the BOS at the July 9th meeting he stated that he asked Mr. O'Brien and others the night of May 7th several times to leave, yet I do not believe he ever asked for assistance from the police in that matter. Were there so many more people at Lavender last night that Mr. Fong felt he could not handle the situation on his own? How many times did Mr. Fong ask this "unwanted customer"to leave before phoning police? What made this customer unwanted while the customers the night of May 4th who did not leave when asked did not deserve the same response? It just doesn't make sense.

Rumor has it there will be another special election on the 25th to raise taxes to support funding of a new roof for Lavender.

Just when Sudbury Patch looked like it was on the brink of finally shutting up with the gossip this breaking news gets plastered on the page. You would think the editor would report about the GOOD DEEDS going on right now but noooooooo------cha ching!

Just to clarify a previous statement-
Two yrs ago a group of parents were asking for donations from local businesses. We were raising money for pediatric cancer. I had an information page with me, detailing what we were doing and who it would benefit. I visited many different stores/businesses. Some were very generous- others were not able to donate.Understandable!
I went into Lavender and introduced myself to Tim Fong, expalined what we were doing and asked if he would be willing to donate a $20 gift card. he became IRATE! Told me he didnt care who had cancer, young or old! he wasnt going to give me any money. Told me I was a useless woman. I am leaving out the vulger obscene names he called me! I did apologize for taking up his time- he told me to get out! Needless to say I was mortified! After that I never stepped foot in that restaurant again.
I want to point out, that I understand that with the economy that not everyone was able to donate goods or services. His language and behavior was completely outrageous. I reailize some may not believe what I am saying- I wouldnt believe it either had I not experienced it-

If you want to repost that comment, Paul Gordon, do so with the vulgar tone.

Oh my the town of Sudbury is just oh so scandalous! You guys need to expand your horizon and care less about our boring little town, so what if the Selectman favors a certain restaurant because he gets free food and drink? Corruption happens at all levels of government, get over it.

Alls i'm saying is local gov't is a joke and corruption in local gov't is even a bigger joke.
