Quick info
About Ruperra Arms
On Caerphilly Rd in Newport, Ruperra Arms is a pub and restaurant serving real ales, wines, and a menu that runs beyond the usual pub fare into tapas-style plates such as king prawns, meatballs, and croquettes. Sunday brings a roast with beef or chicken, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, gravy, and cauliflower cheese, alongside a kids menu and desserts. The bar pours draft beer, cider, and cocktails, and draws a steady crowd of locals. Seating extends across plenty of tables, making room for larger groups, and service is walk-in. A 10% service charge is added to the bill, with the option to have it removed.

Customer Review Summary
Tapas draws the most praise, with the king prawns singled out by two reviewers and the meatballs, gyros and croquettes named as favourites. One diner wanted more variety beyond tapas, and another found the 10% service charge awkward to decline once the receipt arrived. The Sunday roast comes close behind, with reviewers praising the tender beef, the crunchy roasties, an out of this world yorkie and the cauliflower cheese, though one would have liked a thicker gravy. Others mention perfect scallops, lamb rack, a decent kids menu, and a good selection of draft beer, cider and cocktails. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and accommodating, and the pub is called buzzing, with locals at the bar. One family felt service suffered slightly when it was very busy. Even so, one couple who arrived at a busy time without a reservation were given a table that was no longer needed and describe perfect attention throughout.
