A countryside classic meets spa comfort in Mezőkövesd, where Hajnal Hotel rolls out a live-music, buffet-style pig-slaughter feast on select weekends in 2026. It’s for anyone craving the full, old-school disznótor experience without giving up wellness, comfy rooms, and easygoing hospitality. The event runs January through April and again from October to December, with dates clustered Friday to Sunday—and it only goes ahead with a minimum of 40 guests.
Friday: Warm Welcome, Live Tunes
Check in on Friday and dive straight into a buffet dinner with live music. The spread and the band set the tone: generous plates, clinking glasses, and a sociable, festive atmosphere that carries the weekend. The hotel is at 3400, Hajnal St. 2 (Hajnal u. 2.), and the team keeps things personal and relaxed.
Saturday: The Big Day
Wake up to a traditional kickstart: from 7:00–9:00, ask at reception for one shot of pálinka and one cup of mulled wine per person. Then it’s buffet breakfast from 7:00–10:00.
Midday pulls you straight into classic flavors with a buffet lunch: pork backbone soup with vermicelli and vegetables, toros cabbage, roast pork with potatoes, and fresh strudel. As day slips into evening, the highlight arrives—Disznótor with live music and a stacked buffet dinner: soups, roast meats and spare ribs, blood and liver sausages, onion-mashed potatoes, stuffed cabbage, plus honey cream slice and pudding for dessert. Expect clinking cutlery, full plates, and an unmistakable celebratory mood.
Sunday: Hearty Finish
The weekend wraps with a buffet breakfast featuring cracklings and bacon—rich, rustic, and satisfying, the right note to end a flavor-packed escape.
Wellness Included
Beyond the feast, unwind in the hotel’s wellness area. Between meals, dip into restorative treatments and relaxation spaces—ideal for balancing hearty dining with downtime.
