A BRITISH tourist has been left shocked after being charged for sachets of HP sauce in Spain.
The holidaymaker was visiting Benidorm with family when she decided to stop for breakfast the The 4 Kings bar on Avenida Mediterraneo.
But when she received her bill, she was surprised to see she had been charged €1 for two sachets of HP sauce, making them 50 cents each.
She shared a picture of her bill next to one of the sachets on a Benidorm Facebook page.
She wrote: ‘Be careful going for breakfast in this place, €1 for two HP sachets, rip off.’
The Brit’s order consisted of two ‘jumbo’ breakfasts, a jug of orange juice, on coffee and two sachets of brown sauce, which came in at just €15.90.
Other Brits jumped to defend the bar, insisting that all the other items were good value.
One commented: ‘That’s an absolute bargain, 2 jumbo breakfasts, a jug of orange juice and a coffee, plus sauce, all that for €15.90.
‘You’d be lucky to get one breakfast in Ireland for that, and with the extras, you could be looking at paying €28.’
Another said: ‘I think if anything this bar is now going to get more customers thanks to you.’
One joked: ‘Won’t sleep tonight after that.. gonna cancel my holiday’, while one jibed: ‘Thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.’
A regular added: ‘I always had good food & service at 4 kings … 50 cents is not an issue, if you want branded sauce then you pay.’
The Spanish Eye has contacted The 4 Kings for comment.
