The Don Restaurant and Bistro, in the very heart of The City of London, provides an unrivalled combination of history and modernity, plus some of the City’s best food and wine and service.

In 1342 the premises were purchased by The Worshipful Company of Drapers to use as their Livery Hall.

In 1798, the young Scottish entrepreneur George Sandeman took them as the headquarters for his newly established Sandeman Port and Sherry Company. For almost 200 years Sandeman shipped their barrels of fortified wine from Oporto and Jerez to blend and bottle them in the cellars below St Swithins Lane.

In 2000, the premises were converted by Robert and Robyn Wilson, owners of The Bleeding Heart Restaurant, to become its City sibling, The Don Restaurant and Bistro, with George Sandeman supplying many of the Ports on the award-winning wine list.

What Our Clients Say

I have used ‘Function Fixers’ now on many occasions and they are my go-to for literally any event I need help with organising. Heather is an absolute superstar who is always there to help and goes above and beyond to find me the perfect venue and make sure it is a smooth transition from start to finish.

I would highly recommend them to anyone and am so thankful to have found the company…absolute life and time savers, and certainly ‘fixers’!!
