Food and service were excellent. Tapas is 3 dishes for £20 Monday to Thursday and the value is insane, every dish was delicious. This place is a gem!

First time in this pub, it was really busy with locals having a beer at the bar which is nice to see. The staff there were friendly. The food was tapas, (would like to have had different options as well), but it was very tasty and well presented. Wife enjoyed the king prawns and i loved the meatballs. Only thing that i didn't like was the added service charge of 10%, was the option to remove after been given the receipt which is a big awkward to say no.

We had the worst service ever. Food could be ok but the atmosphere and service it’s horrible. We wait 30 minutes to get our food and when the food arrived we asked for plates and cutlery but the waitress brings us just knife no fork so we asked again! Absolutely disappointed. I definitely not recommend this pub.

Food is terrible. Bravette steak is tough and chewy but my dog enjoyed it, prawn pilpil is tasteless and it’s not really Spanish prawn pilpil and you have to peel the king prawns too but they don’t provide you with finger bowls and lastly the homemade nachos were soggy and glued together with a cheap yellow cheddar cheese. To make matters worse the lady who served us addressed my husband “lovely”. So my husband said I’m 30 years older than you so have some respect. Dreadful food what more can I say.

We really enjoyed our evening here. Great selection of drinks, good draft beer and cider and cocktails too. The menu was tapas with lots of meat, fish and vegetable options. We really enjoy it all but our favourites were the gyros and croquettes. They had a decent kids menu and desserts too. We will definitely be back soon. The staff were very friendly and accommodating too!

I have driven past this pub for 30 years and never called in. I have wasted 30 years of great atmosphere, good company, and excellent, friendly service. My partner and I called in tonight on the way to a restaurant. I was determined to go after driving past so many times. I'm glad we did. Another visit soon. And, we will try the menu. As promised, we tried the Sunday roast. It's really, really good! We will be back...again...

Had a hair in my beef and service was not good. Had to chase up my mains then told I had to pay at the bar that was surrounded by men drinking sat on bar stools (not want u do after eating your food then having to queue at a bar full of drinkers to pay) Then trying to get out of the carpark was a nightmare. Cars blocking u in and absolute bedlam trying to get out of the pub. Not a happy paying customer, I spent £72 and no money or drinks knocked off for a hair in my food. Will not be returning.

The food was pretty good but I'd advise getting a table away from the bar as having (loud) locals stood directly behind you when eating isn't ideal. They also seem to hog/block the bar, which isn't ideal

Service appalling....kept waiting at the bar for 20mins finally got served for a waitress to tell bar man to stop serving us to serve someone else. I identified we had a table booked to be told it was proberly not ready however as waitress was telling us this she was walking away from me. Soft drinks were disgusting...flat basically, told it was the soda and most proberbly need to be changed. Family member purchase small glass of wine, soft drink and a pint of beer and was charged £16.00 which does not sit right with me. Was directed to the incorrect table to be asked by other customers to move. Eventually sat down at correct table 30minutes late to be sat waiting for 20minutes with no menu therfore had to get up and ask for menus. Got served eventually had to ask for cutlery and condiments as food sitting going cold. Food was lovely although looked a little small but was lovely and just enough. Soft drinks remained flat. Then asked for the bill to wait 10minutes to see the waiter with his coat on leaving the premises. Asked for bill again and git over charged on our bill...it took 3 staff members to recalculate and provide us with correct bill. Spent nearly £300.00 in 3hrs at this pub restaurant. Food nice, soft drinks awful, atmosphere nice staff rude and incompetent.....not blaming staff but possibly more staff required at busy times. Safe to say lovely meal thankfully, had good time with family but won't return....disappointed 😞

One of my favorite Sunday dinners I've had this year (2022) The meat was tender and succulent, veg was fresh and had a little crunch which I personally really like, the roasties where plentiful and had a nice crunch along with an out of this world yorkie, the gravy was superb, but I personally prefer it slightly thicker but all in all a stunning bit of grub. The pub itself is a beautiful and cosy little place with plenty of tables and can sit large groups. The service was absolutely on point. The servers were really nice and accommodating.

Came here for Sunday dinner, not been here before but reviews were quite positive online. Was quite possibly the worst Sunday roast I’ve ever had (half cooked roasties, grey dry beef, burnt Yorkshire’s, and everything bland). I saw one review mentioning it being a microwave meal - I would agree with this.

Disappointing. Food bland. Incredibly, no spice at all. Salt and pepper would have been something, garlic, paprika expected but none used. Plain tinned chopped tomato and roasted potatoes passed as potatas bravas - paprika…. Nothing added! Similar with the meatballs; just tinned tomato! Of the 7 different dishes we had on our table, none were particularly flavourful. Clearly little effort made in the preparation of this precooked, supermarket style frozen food. Not somewhere to return to.

Food was lovely when it arrived, but they were short staffed and while we were told 25mins, it was actually an hour and a half which would've been ok if someone had just let us know. The bar is tiny so getting a drink took ages too. Fab singer somewhat made up for the waiting around

After seeing local adverts for the Ruppera I was looking forward to trying it out. Unfortunately it wasn’t great, arrived for a booking at 8pm, 20 minute wait for our drinks order to be taken, the food order was taken at the same time and the food eventually arrived at around 9.30. What came was ok, nothing special and not hot but warm. Lastly onto desert, two ice cream sundaes were ordered but we gave up waiting after 35 minutes and asked for the bill and left. The visit lasted 2 hours and 35 minutes and in that time we had 4 tapas dishes and two drinks. I definitely wouldn’t go here again and certainly wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Easter Sunday roast but I suspect a microwave meal for one may have offered more taste. I take no pleasure in writing such a bad review but the folk of Bassaleg deserve better. Pitiful portions (2 thin slices of beef), unseasoned veg, chip potatoes (not roast); all served cold. No idea how they have achieved such a good rating but please do yourself a favour and give it a wide berth until they appoint a chef.

The first 4 tapas I chose unavailable, although what we served was tasty, not what I wanted. Chocolate mousse is a milk shake, ask for a straw it's awful. Waitress chopsy and cash only, really is the tax man that concerned...... Disappointing evening in a pub with no atmosphere as very few people inside, won't be rushing back, very overrated at 4.2 on Google, I'd go to the Rhiderin inn 10 times before I went back here

After seeing that this pub/restaurant has reopened as a tapas venue I was keen to try it. We had a mixed platter plus 3 tapas dishes. Honestly it's too much but that's our fault for not being able to choose. The one dish I had I had never tried before was dates with goats cheese and bacon. Absolutely lush. Also the service was friendly and we felt well looked after. I would really recommend this place and hope it is successful.

Whilst this village pub is understandably trying to resurrect itself, it’s foray into food, especially Tapas, has been somewhat of a disaster. We recently stopped by having seen the advertisement, it was a Friday evening but the place did not have many customers, which should have told us something! We sat down- the staff were pleasant enough and brought us drinks and then we decided to look through the menu. The first thing that struck us was that the selection was quite restricted, still we thought, we’ll give it a try. We ordered potata bravas, along with meatballs in tomato sauce and another choice. Now I believe that ‘potata bravas’ should be small pieces of potato, cut into chunks and roasted, being served with a small covering of tomato and the addition of some aioli. What we got was potato ‘fritters’, which were obviously frozen and which looked like they had been deep fried. They had been placed in a serving dish and absolutely smothered with what looked like tomato cooking sauce from a jar. Really the amount of tomato sauce used was quite overwhelming. The aioli was served separately and was watery thin, being made up mostly of vinegar. The meatballs were lukewarm and were obviously not made fresh. Again, they had been placed in a dish and smothered with the same tomato style cooking sauce from a jar. It’s such a pity because it is obvious that the owner is trying to resurrect interest and introduce more customers. As a pub, it really isn’t a bad place, but my advice is to forget the tapas and get a chef in who can serve up some good, honest pub grub. As for tapas - best leave that to the likes of Los Reyes, who have made a far better job of it.

On a bitterly cold day it’s gratifying to walk into a traditional Pub with a blazing fire.Two courses £12/Three courses £15 which considering the quality of the food is worth every penny.Limited lunchtime menu but one which accommodates both the carnivore plus vegetarians.Started with Garlic mushrooms on toast. Small portion but flavoursome.The main...pork chop, roast new potatoes and spinach all of which was delicious and a proper chop not something fit for a Hobbit. The accompanying gravy only added to the overall tastiness.Pudding...small portion of sticky toffee pudding plus a scoop of vanilla ice-cream which ticked all the boxes.Friendly Staff, cosy environment and very reasonably priced food.

Soup warm at best then the long wait for mains only two staff waiting and serving at the bar .Beef was pink a good sign, it was tough and stringy ,veg not great and not hot.Time for pudding and a long weight and what a came was tiny piece of chocolate brownie.We gave you ago Ruperra back to THE GATE for us
