Breakfast at the Whistling Swan Inn

At the Whistling Swan Inn, we like to make sure our lodging guests are well fed. Each morning, you’ll wake up to the aroma of coffee brewed from freshly ground beans. Guests receive a menu for breakfast that is prepared individually and served in our dining room from 8:30-10:00 a.m. on weekends and 7:30-8:30 a.m. during the week. There's no need to stress about pre-set seating times, because you can stroll down anytime you wish during those hours and your breakfast will be served.

To accommodate individual preferences, our dining room has a table that seats ten, and additional tables of two may be found in our back parlor. If weather permits, guests can enjoy dining in the gazebo or on our wrap-around veranda, which overlooks the English garden.

The entrées are created based on the seasons, availability, and tried and true family favorites! There is always a “savory” choice and a “sweet” choice for the main dish. Guest favorites for sweet include our Bananas Foster French Toast made with fresh homemade bread soaked in an egg rum banana liquor custard and topped with caramelized bananas, served with fresh whipped cream. For our savory favorite, we have a delicious Sausage and Cheese Grits bowl. Steel Cut Oats layered with bananas and topped with Irish Cream, Yogurt Parfaits made with our own homemade yogurt, and other sumptuous side dishes round out a meal that should hold you almost until dinner. Fresh fruit, juices, and seasonal pastries are staples of our breakfast menu.

Special dietary needs don’t faze us. We can accommodate most dietary regimens including gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan preferences. We are happy to accommodate vegetarian and vegan preferences with dishes such as potato hash, lemon poppy seed muffins and banana bread. Simply let us know when you make your reservation so we can be prepared.

Hungry in the middle of the night? We have a 24-hour hospitality bar set up in our back parlor with complimentary soft drinks, snacks and a variety of fresh-baked chocolate chip, oatmeal, oatmeal raisin, and peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. You may even be fortunate enough to visit when whoopie pies are on the agenda!
