23/03/24 - a visit showed no cask beers on sale - we do not know if this was a one off or is permanent - further news welcome.

28/03/23- open again with 2 cask beers and a selection of other beers such as Two Tribes Dream Pale Ale and Brooklyn Defender IPA

07/03/23 - Reverting to old name (see latest pic). Still in shopfit stages. Local word is the people who run The Island are taking over. Which by recent visits to both will be an improvement.

15/02/23 - just walked by the Rise in Kensal Rise and the place is clearly closed. Hopefully just a refurb and name change again. Interior has been cleared out. They say on Instagram they will reopen "early March".

On a visit in early Nov 2022 the GK IPA was not available, we do not know if this is just a temporary thing?

Renamed and refurbished from previous format 'The Chamberlayne' New food menu launched as 'Italian Kitchen' Three pumps, usually two on. Formerly the Chamberlayne and prior to that the Banker's Draught (previously a Barclay's bank branch), reopened in 2007 with the restoration of real ales after a long absence. One room with long bar at front, dining room at rear. Outside tables. Handy for Kensal Rise stations. The owner since 1999 is a company called Masseria Group set up by Rob Claassen, also running the Salusbury.
