A whole winter of pork-feast weekends lands in Mezőkövesd’s Matyóföld (Matyóföld), serving juicy hurka, crackling kolbász, richly seasoned roasts, and classic Hungarian flavors with live music and hotel comfort. From January through the end of April, then again in October–December 2026, the Hajnal Hotel spins old-school disznótor vibes into a cozy, well-catered escape with wellness access. It’s for anyone craving the warmth of traditional village-style feasts without giving up modern ease—and yes, dancing, singing, and laughter come standard.
The venue: 3400 Mezőkövesd, Hajnal St. 2 (Hajnal u. 2). Dates run in multiple blocks, and each weekend goes ahead if at least 40 guests book. Friday night sets the tone with a generous buffet dinner and live music, easing everyone into the communal mood from the first plate to the last chorus.
Saturday: The Big Disznótor Day
Wake up right into tradition. Between 7:00–9:00, pick up 1 pálinka per person and 1 cup of mulled wine at reception, then enjoy a hearty buffet breakfast from 7:00–10:00. At midday, the kitchen rolls out the classics: pork backbone soup (orjaleves) with fine noodles and vegetables, cabbage with pork (toros cabbage), roast meats with potatoes, and fresh strudel. The peak comes Saturday night: the disznótor with live music and a lavish buffet—soups; roasted meats and ribs; hurka and kolbász; mashed potatoes with onions; stuffed cabbage; and desserts including honey-cream slice and pudding. The combination of the band and steaming platters does the rest.
Sunday Send-Off
Wrap the weekend with a robust buffet breakfast featuring cracklings and bacon—because this story ends with a crunch. Then drift into the wellness zone, or linger as long as you like outside your room: parking, bathing, key-locker changing rooms, treatments, and meals remain available after checkout.
Wellness and Comfort
Beyond the feast, guests can use the Hajnal Hotel wellness area, making digestion and downtime part of the experience. Rooms come in two wings: the classic Hajnal Wing and the roomier, more modern Kikelet Wing. Arrival is flexible—once your room is ready you can move in at no extra charge, often from around noon, and wellness access can start even earlier. Key-locker changing rooms are available with a refundable 1,000 HUF deposit per key, about $2.76. Checkout is by 10:00, but everything else—parking, pools, lockers (same deposit), treatments, dining—can be used afterward.
