Is this Sydney's shortest-lived food venue? (And no, it's not a pop-up)

Hold the presses, we have a contender for Sydney's shortest-lived food venue. The Lawns recently launched on the lower north shore, with ladles of swagger and plenty of promise, the latest arrival in Sydney's bowlo food movement.

"It was open for nine trading days," says Chris Keighery, GM of Longueville Sporting Club, where The Lawns traded.

"The food was great. They wanted to do something fancy, which isn't easy when you have 150 people walk through the door by 6.30pm. They've decided to cease operation and the club has taken it over," he adds.
