A MISSING 5ft fork which was stolen from the wall of a town centre restaurant has been found.
Staff at the Church Street Tavern in Colchester town centre noticed the 5ft decoration had been taken during a busy service on Saturday night, with the accompanying spoon left hanging alone.
After a public appeal, the wooden fork has now been returned to its rightful owners and the Church Street Tavern sent out a relieved tweet this afternoon.
Hurray...our Fork has been found. GIANT THANKS to @geppandsons on North Hill! pic.twitter.com/LP7pJoblDg

Piers Baker, who has owned the popular venue since February 2014, said although the fork was worth very little money, it had huge sentimental value having been in his family since 1976.
