City Institution The Don Re-Opens Its Doors

- THE DON -
The Don in St . Swithin ’ s Lane is re-opening after being closed for four years . Under its new ownership , it has been completely refurbished and is being led by a new management team aiming to restore it to its former glory .
‘ The Don ’ is the famous caped symbol of Sandeman Port . The restaurant is next door to its sister establishment , a Portuguese wine bar called Bar 1790 . Both are in Sandeman House , the building to which the Sandeman family moved their wine importing and bottling business in 1805 . The opening is another step in the return of Sandeman to St . Swithins Lane , something recognised on the wine list .
