About This Place

Founders & Co. Swansea is a vibrant culinary and social hub perfectly positioned in the heart of Wind Street, Swansea. Blending the lively spirit of a wine bar with the casual comfort of a food court, it offers an eclectic and exciting menu that spans multiple world cuisines—from authentic Mexican tacos to flavorful Indian favorites and classic American-style burgers and pizzas.

Step into Founders & Co. and you’re immediately drawn into an engaging atmosphere buzzing with good vibes and friendly faces. The concept of ordering directly from a variety of vendors via phone adds a modern, efficient twist, allowing guests to explore diverse plates with ease. As echoed by regulars like Charlie Whitehair, the seamless ordering system coupled with the high quality of food makes returning almost inevitable.

Culinary adventurers will delight in the broad menu selection. Mexican street food enthusiasts can savor Baja Cauli Tacos topped with a smoky chipotle & lime crema, or the succulent Pork Belly Carnitas Tacos bursting with mango and roquito pepper salsa. For those craving Eastern flavors, the Kerala Fried Chicken presents tender boneless thigh, expertly spiced with curry leaves and fennel seeds and perfectly crisped. Meanwhile, the New York Smash Burger and Fries is a standout, celebrated by many for its juicy, layered perfection, while the Truffle Pizza entices with its aromatic, indulgent toppings.

Aside from the rich tapestry of food, the drinks menu is a key highlight, boasting expertly crafted cocktails like the silky Espresso Martini and a diverse selection of beers and wines to complement every bite. Maggie May’s praise for the abundant and generous portions paired with friendly service perfectly captures the welcoming and satisfying experience that awaits here.

The space itself breathes a lively, yet comfortable energy. Whether you’re catching up with friends over chicken yakitori and a finely balanced cocktail or settling in with the flavorful Chicken Quesadilla alongside a glass of chilled wine, you’ll find the environment thoughtfully designed to enhance your dining pleasure. Tracy Martinez notes the lively music adding to the spirited vibe, making it not just a place to eat, but a destination to savor every moment.

Though some may notice the pricing leans slightly towards the premium side, as Hannah Sutcliffe and Maggie May attest, the freshness, quality, and impeccable flavor profiles more than justify the investment. Coupled with consistently cheerful and attentive staff, dining here feels like a rewarding treat rather than just a meal.

In summary, Founders & Co. Swansea is a remarkable dining destination for those who appreciate culinary diversity, quality ingredients, and a buzzing atmosphere that brings food, drinks, and people together effortlessly.

    This is a really nice place to come and visit for food and drink. Everything can be ordered easily on your phone from the various vendors. The burger I had was phenomenal. It is not the cheapest place to eat out but the quality is very good and the atmosphere is very pleasant. We enjoyed our visit so much that we returned the next day to try one of the other vendors which was equally delicious.

    Food was great, very filling and very good value for money, expensive ish BUT worth the money! Great cheerful, helpful, friendly staff. Loved my first visit, and will definitely be going again. Husband loved the tater tots and burger. I loved the burger and chips. Thankyou for a lovely lunch experience.

    Cool place to go for food, drinks and enjoy the music. Central location on Wind Street in Swansea. We were greeted by the friendly security guards on our way in. We easily found a table. Had to scan a QR code and order via the app, which isn't great if 1 person is paying for a group as they have to pass their phone around and put the orders through one at a time. Would have been cool if we could have ordered from menus at paid on ordering or when leaving. Some events and cafe in the daytime. Parties and themed nights in the evenings. Similar vibe to Albert Hall, but more cozy in my opinion. Food was good, decent portions, but it all came at different times because we ordered from different stands/vendors. Can be expected, it's not a problem. Board games to play if the conversation runs dry

    Hands down my favourite restaurant in Swansea, the food is top quality. We visited today for a halloumi burger and fries from MAG and while a little on the pricey side, it felt totally justified given how fresh and tasty the meal was. I would’ve happily paid twice as much, the food was that good! Staff are always smiling and helpful whenever we visit, great atmosphere and comfortable seating. Can’t recommend this establishment enough if you’re in Swansea!

    Quite a bustling vibrant atmosphere, chilled relaxed environment. Order via QR code and wait for the goodies to arrive. Service was swift. Staff friendly. Had a pint of the local IPA. Went for the tex mex food and had a mushroom veggie option which was awesome, good spice fairly warm. Loved it. Took a few minutes to be seated, sometimes it is crazy busy. You can reserve a seat as well.

    Outstanding food and a great atmosphere. 4 or 5 vendors available and you order your food and drink on the app. My burger was unreal and the missus had a wrap. The mozzarella fries were also out of this world!
