You'll not read a feta story today, this is the wheel deal! What a whey to catch a thief, you'll cheddar believe how clever he was, definitely nacho average restauranteur! Who's it Gouda brie, though? 😂

Photo of restauranteur David holding a wheel of cheese

Story outline: David hides an air tag in a wheel of cheese as someone keeps stealing his dairy produce. He tracked the cheese across Yorkshire until it settled in Knaresborough on Christmas eve. He's passed the information to the police!
