Brit in Benidorm reveals £4.50 brekkie and pint combo is 'one of the best'

Benidorm is known for its beaches, lively nightlife and reasonable prices, with hundreds of thousands of Brits flocking there each year.
One holidaymaker, Grumet White, often shares his favourite finds and tips for the popular destination on social media, @benidorm_grumet1.
He recently revealed, in a TikTok video, a bargain breakfast in the area that most Brits would struggle to pass by.
Uncle Ron's, which is located in the heart of the holiday hotspot, offers a full English breakfast and a pint for less than a fiver.
For just £4.50, visitors will be served a hearty meal including bacon, eggs and sausages, as well as a pint of lager.
For those wanting to skip breakfast, Uncle Ron's also offers pints for just €1, the equivalent to around 80p.
In the video, Grumet said: 'Here we are, the most famous bar in Benidorm for an 83p pint. You just couldn't make that up could you?'
The holidaymaker is a big fan of the area and in a separate interview was keen to express his fondness for his favourite bar.
'We have been going to Uncle Ron's for years,' Grumet said.
He described the breakfast deal as 'one of the best' and gushed over the value for money Uncle Ron's offers.
'The breakfast is one of the best in Benidorm, to be fair,' he added.
'If I go to McDonald's, it would cost more than a family of four in Uncle Ron's.'
Though the prices may be low, Grumet stressed the quality is good too.
He said: 'It's not that, it's just really cheap - it's nice too.'
The video attracted over 100,000 views, thousands of likes and hordes of comments.
One user said: 'Decent breakfasts to be honest.. especially for the price.'
Another commented: 'Brekie and a pint under a fiver is right, be rude not to.'
Someone else added: 'Great place.'
However, not everyone was a fan of the deal.

The Sun King: Charles's new mini solar farm now provides ALL power to Sandringham

While the latest heatwave is not being welcomed by everyone, there are some benefits – as the King has discovered. The eco-conscious monarch's new solar farm in Norfolk is fully powering his Sandringham Estate, as well as a small amount left over feeding the National Grid. The monarch started building the 2,000-panel facility on a former horse-grazing paddock behind the royal residence last October. It has now been connected up to the main house and its estate, so the King can make the most of the sunny weather. The 2.3-hectare solar farm is providing a combined total of 2.1MW of zero carbon energy to Sandringham House, the Visitor Centre and the Sawmill. It has an 'operational lifespan of 40 years', after which the field will eventually be returned to horse grazing. Tall trees means the panels are mostly hidden from view for the estate's 500,000 annual visitors. The panels are made from toughened glass and mounted on a steel framework. The King is determined to introduce as many renewable energy schemes to the royal landholding as possible.

Matt Damon, 54, flexes chiseled chest and biceps while snorkeling off yacht in Ibiza with wife

Matt Damon showcased his chiseled chest while aboard the 'Loloma' yacht during his lavish Ibiza getaway on Tuesday. The 54-year-old Oscar-winning screenwriter was enjoying a break from filming Christopher Nolan 's big-screen adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey. Matt - who was sporting black swim trunks - flexed his bulging biceps while fiddling with a snorkel before his swim. Damon - who recently shaved off his burly gray Odysseus beard - looked relaxed as he vacationed on the Spanish isle famed for its nightlife and EDM club scene in the summer. The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire champ reportedly relies on fitness trainer Jason Walsh to maintain his fit 5ft10in frame for the big screen. Matt was joined on the yacht by his wife of 19 years, Luciana Bozán Barroso, who flaunted her bikini body in a bandeau, floral sarong, and brown cowboy hat. The 54-year-old Oscar-winning screenwriter was enjoying a break from filming Christopher Nolan's big-screen adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey Damon and the Argentinian 49-year-old have a strict rule in their marriage to never go more than two weeks apart from each other.

Huge wildfires spread across Brit tourist hotspots with hotels evacuated ‘by the minute' as holidaymakers flee resorts

ENORMOUS wildfires have spread across British tourist hotspots as thousands have been evacuated from hotels. Holidaymakers are fleeing Greece's Zakynthos and Kefalonia islands "by the minute" as fires continue to rip through the Mediterranean. 8 8 8 8 Around 5,000 firefighters have been battling the ravaging inferno with the support of 45 planes and helicopters. In popular party-resort Laganas, officials ordered young Brit revellers to leave hotels as a "precautionary measure" after the fires shot clouds of black smoke over the area. One local official spoke of "an unending nightmare" as houses, farms and factories in the city of Patras and large parts of northern and central Greece have been devastated by the flames. Meanwhile, some 15 firefighters were injured overnight while hundreds of locals and tourists are being treated for respiratory problems in hospital. Fire brigade spokesperson, Vasillis Vathrakogiannis said: 'It will be another very difficult day, as the wildfire risk for most of the country's regions will be very high." And in western Patras, the country's third biggest city, hundreds of tourists were evacuated from their holiday homes. In a scene he likened to "doomsday", Giorgos Karavanis, a volunteer firefighter said: 'We came from Athens with our volunteer association Kleisthenis, we can't do anything more. He added: 'May God help us and help people here.' Meanwhile on Chios island, in the northern Aegean, the coast guard was forced to rescue tourists and residents by boat as the wildfires raged towards coastal areas. The fire on Zakynthos and Kefalonia is the latest in a series of bushfires scientists warn are being driven by global warming. Fresh wildfires engulf Turkey as 1,500 flee their homes and firefighter dies days after raging blazes killed 13 Earlier this week, the Keatea region, south of Athens was decimated by raging wildfires with up to 16,000 acres of land decimated. An elderly man was found dead inside his bed by firefighters who have been tirelessly battling against the numerous blazes. More than 260 firefighters with nearly 80 fire engines along with 12 aircraft were deployed near Keratea. Dimitris Loukas, mayor of the city of nearby Lavrio, said the Keratea fire destroyed dozens of homes, agriculture and forest land. Meanwhile, last month on the island of Kythera, authorities evacuated the villages of Aroniadika, Pitsinades and Aryoi. In the area of Messinia, west of Athens, residents of the Kryoneri and Sellas villages were also told to leave. 8 8 These sites were on a list of Greek regions on high alert for wildfires due to record-breaking temperatures and strong winds. Temperatures in Greece were forecast to reach up to 44 degrees Celsius on Saturday, the Greek weather service said. Wildfires, many of them destructive, have become a common occurrence in Greece in recent years Greece and other Mediterranean countries are in an area dubbed "a wildfire hotspot" by scientists, with blazes becoming increasingly more common. Some 1,500 people were evacuated after raging wildfires spread across Crete earlier this month. The night sky turned orange as the burning blazes left a trail of destruction on the popular island. Evacuations were ordered at three sites outside the port of Ierapetra on the island's south coast, authorities said. Homes were reportedly damaged as flames swept through hillside forests, fanned by strong winds. 8 8
