Brit in Benidorm reveals £4.50 breakfast 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.

We own Benidorm's ‘biggest Brit cafe' where pints are €1 & thousands flock for whopping 4K cal Full English challenge
THOUSANDS of Brits flock to Benidorm every summer, but there's only one spot they can gorge on a 4,000 calorie Full English while guzzling a €1 pint. Holidaymakers rave about Uncle Ron's - the family-friendly diner where winners of a giant belly buster challenge will get their picture on the wall of fame. 6 6 6 The 4*-rated café is a hidden gem located on the Calle Londres, where platter-sized breakfasts go for just €12 and €1 pints pull punters in. Its famous €12 breakfast challenge consists of four sausages, four rashers of bacon, four eggs, four hash browns, four slices of toast and two slices of fried bread, mushrooms, tomatoes and baked beans. Not for the faint-hearted, it contains a whopping 3,800 calories - the equivalent of almost two days worth of a woman's recommended allowance. 'One in maybe 50 people manage to finish, sometimes it's more to be fair," owner Georgia Smith told The Sun. "Last week I was doing about 15 a day." The 59-year-old from Teesside runs Uncle Ron's with her partner, Ron, having moved to Benidorm 10 years ago. Anyone who eats the mega platter in 20 minutes gets it for free - and anyone who completes the challenge, will get their picture on the wall of fame with a free t-shirt. 'I started the wall of fame last year and there might be about 80 people up there," Georgia said. "I also do a €1 pint. Somebody came in the other night and ordered fifty. The full bar was covered. "He was a well known TikToker apparently. He gave them away to customers." While the cafe attracts its fair share of stag dos "dressed up as all sorts," Georgia insists Uncle Ron's is a family-friendly establishment. Service is "the same day and night" and "from the minute it's open to the minute it's closed you can get a belly buster". Georgia said: 'On a good day we do about 300 tickets a day, from 9am-3pm. I have drinkers on top of that. 'The euro pint drags a lot of people in and obviously people like a cheap pint, a lot of men mostly and obviously Benidorm is cheap and cheerful." Uncle Ron's has gained a loyal following since it was set up five years ago, with over 24,000 followers on Facebook alone. It comes as anti-tourism protests sweep their way through Europe, with hundreds of furious locals taking to the streets of Spain, Italy and Portugal to fight mass tourism this summer. Georgia, however, says her business has been welcomed by everyone. 'We get a lot of Brits, I've had a few Spanish, today there was Polish in, Americans, Australians, but mainly Brits," she said. 'We're welcomed by everybody. I have people that drink in my bar that are Spanish, this season I have had a few Spanish families come in for food which is quite unusual. 'Some of the Brits don't try very hard," Georgia said of the challenge. "They might be a bit hungover which is usually the case in Benidorm." When it comes to speed, the current belly buster record sits just shy of seven minutes. But not everyone is successful. 'I had somebody do it in seven minutes and ten seconds," Georgia said. "A lot of them have gone in the toilet and been sick because they are hungover or because they have eaten too much." 6 6
