The 'Monarch Mood Food' box has been developed alongside food psychologist Professor Charles Spence, who has worked with Heston Blumenthal and his team at The Fat Duck Research Kitchen in Bray and Josef Youssef, Head Chef at Kitchen Theory.

It follows new research which revealed over a third of Brits (33 per cent) don't relax until at least day three of their holiday, and 72 per cent find travelling to their holiday destination stressful.

Nils Christy, Chief Operating Officer at Monarch commented: ''We know how precious time on holiday is, so are delighted to be able to listen to our customers' needs and trial the Monarch 'Mood Food' box this summer enabling more people to relax, feel good and start enjoying their holiday from the moment they get to the gate.''
