Brit flies to Spain and gets a full English breakfast for less than £15

If you think the price of eating out in the UK is getting a little too expensive, one man has a possible answer to save some money.

Content creator Ben Matthew Saunders revealed he wanted to try and get a ticket to Spain and eat a full English breakfast all for less than it would have cost him to eat out at home.

Saunders, from Fleet, Hampshire, revealed on his TikTok page that he wanted to set himself the challenge to see if he could get more bang for his buck by flying to another country.

After coming across an incredibly cheap ticket to Majorca for £10 and catching the flight, he revealed he got his cooked breakfast for €5 (£4.45) at a beach-side café, taking the price to an overall £14.45.

The TikTok star showed off his cheap breakfast on a plate piled high with sausages, hashbrowns, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, toast, and the questionable inclusion of fries.

On his TikTok page, Saunders said: ‘I wanted to see if I could fly across Europe to eat a full English breakfast all for the same total price of ordering one in the UK.’

The social media star – who has almost 600k followers on TikTok and 13.6 million likes – said the average price for a full English in the UK is £12.50.

In his video, Saunders said: ‘I need to pick a location that would be good for a winter getaway but also wouldn’t let me down on the quality of a classic British breakfast.’

Saunders, who goes by the name ‘beninternet’ on TikTok said there was ‘no better place’ for his European challenge than Magaluf.

Staggeringly, the content creator managed to get his hands on a ticket from Manchester to Majorca for just £10 – already cheaper than his breakfast at his local café.

He then set off from the airport with his challenge already half done. 

In his short clip, we next saw the 22-year-old at a beach-side café on Magaluf’s shoreline.

He ordered his full English – as well as the included coffee – for just €5 (£4.45).

‘The portion sizes were absolutely huge. There was no way I was going to finish this, he said.

The total cost of his flight and cooked breakfast was £14.45 – £1.95 more than his target or £12.50.

‘I was able to get double the portion size, a cup of coffee, and a day trip to Magaluf for only £1.95 more,’ he said. 

His full English arrived on a giant plate piled high with sausages, hashbrowns, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, toast, and the questionable inclusion of fries

 Despite not quite pricing his European brunch adventure at less than the price of a full English in the UK, Saunders was still chuffed with his effort.

While people were impressed by the TikToker’s European brunch adventure, many noted that he may have left out some crucial details, including the cost of his flight back and transfer from the airport.

One user wrote: ‘How much was the return lol?’

Another wrote: ‘How did you get from the airport to Magaluf then?’

Others questioned his claimed average price of a cooked breakfast in the UK: ‘Full English average is definitely not £12.50. Bro eating at the Ritz.’
