Cheese Society owner reunited with giant fake polystyrene cheddar

A fake polystyrene cheese which went missing from The Cheese Society in Lincoln on Friday afternoon, prompting a city-wide hunt, has been found.



The fake polystyrene cheese went missing from a basket on a bike which is just yards away from the shop. Kate O’Meara, owner of the business, had said: “Someone could be out there with a big bulge under their jacket.

“They’ll be disappointed if they try to take a bite out of it - it's fake cheddar made out of polystyrene." The shop received a telephone call on Saturday to say the cheddar had been spotted.



“A lady rang Radio Lincolnshire to say she’d seen it rolling down the High Street," Kate said. “She put it in a doorway and I found it sheltering out of the rain. It is now back in pride of place in the pannier!”
