British Holidaymakers Stunned by Benidorm's Incredibly Affordable Sunday Roast
A British tourist visiting the popular Spanish resort of Benidorm has expressed utter astonishment at the remarkably low cost of a traditional Sunday roast dinner, complete with dessert and a pint, at one of the city's favourite eateries.
The Viral Discovery That's Capturing Attention
Harry, who shares his experiences on TikTok under the username @harrytokky, documented his visit to Uncle Ron's, an establishment already known locally for its €1 (approximately 87p) pints. His mission was to sample their famous Sunday roast offering, but nothing prepared him for the value he encountered.
The total cost for two courses - a main and a dessert - came to just €9.50, which converts to approximately £8.27 in British currency. This price point left Harry questioning where one could possibly find comparable value back in the United Kingdom, declaring the meal an "absolute bargain" that he was eagerly anticipating.
A Feast That Exceeded Expectations
When the meal arrived, Harry was presented with a substantial plate featuring generous portions of chicken with all the traditional trimmings. The serving included a mountain of vegetables such as carrots and cabbage, alongside both mashed potatoes and essential crispy roast potatoes. The establishment provided an extra "lovely tub of gravy," with the Yorkshire pudding already generously filled with the savoury liquid.
"I mean, I just cannot get over how cheap this is," Harry exclaimed as he began eating. "It's an absolute bargain."
Quality That Matched the Remarkable Value
As Harry progressed through his meal, his enthusiasm only grew. He declared the food "so good" and went as far as stating that this was "one of the nicest Sunday roasts I've had in Benidorm." His recommendation to other visitors was emphatic, noting that while the quality was excellent, "price-wise is a big, big selling point."
The complete experience - including a pint - totalled just €10.50 (approximately £9.15), a figure that continued to amaze the British tourist.
The Sweet Conclusion to an Unbelievable Deal
The meal concluded with a dessert that maintained the establishment's theme of generous portions. Harry proudly displayed a substantial jam sponge pudding surrounded by what appeared to be more custard than the gravy that had accompanied his main course.
Local Reputation and Visitor Reactions
Uncle Ron's has developed a strong reputation among both tourists and locals. One commenter on social media praised the establishment, writing: "It is a great little place. Really popular with the locals. The best pork chop I've ever had. Love the place."
Another observer humorously noted the cultural juxtaposition, commenting: "Nothing says Spain more than a Sunday roast and pudding and custard..." highlighting the interesting blend of British culinary tradition within a Spanish setting.
This discovery comes as many British tourists express concerns about rising costs while travelling abroad, making such value-for-money finds particularly noteworthy for holidaymakers seeking to manage their expenses without compromising on dining experiences.
