Hotel chain bans garlic from Christmas menu to increase chances of festive kisses

A leading hotel chain is banning garlic from its Christmas menu, saying the move will increase workers’ chances of stealing a festive kiss from colleagues.

Holiday Inn said its Fresh Breath Menu, available at 70 hotels across the country, will be completely garlic-free - no garlic bread, sausage or sauces.

Spokeswoman Jane Bednall said: “With the party season fast approaching, we saw now as the perfect time to introduce a garlic-free menu to boost people’s chances of a kiss at their work Christmas party.”
