Tasty bites meet live music, dancing, and laughter—just like the old winter weekends, only with a little extra comfort.

All-You-Can-Eat Pork Feast with Live Music

Running January through the end of April 2026—and returning October to December—the hotel’s buffet-style disznótoros weekends blend rural charm with a comfy hotel setting and wellness access. It’s tailored for anyone craving that traditional pig-slaughter vibe without giving up relaxation. Expect freshly made classics, friendly staff, and a homey atmosphere.

Friday: Arrival and Warm-Up

Arrive Friday and slide straight into a generous buffet dinner with live music. It sets the tone for a sociable, good-humored weekend. Note: Events run with a minimum of 40 guests.

Saturday: The Main Event

Start early with 1 shot of pálinka and 1 cup of mulled wine per person, available at reception 7:00–9:00, then a hearty buffet breakfast 7:00–10:00.

Lunch is all tradition: buffet orjaleves (pork rib soup) with thin noodles and vegetables, toros cabbage, roasts with potatoes, plus fresh strudel.

Evening is the headline act: the disznótor with live music and a sprawling buffet. Soups; roasted meats and ribs; hurka and kolbász; mashed potatoes with onions; stuffed cabbage; desserts including honey cream slice and pudding. Food and music combine for that unmistakable festive village feel.

Pros
+
Family-friendly pricing and room options make it easy to bring kids, with big discounts and even free stays for little ones
+
The theme—traditional Hungarian pork feast with live music—is unique and memorable, offering a cozy “village festival” vibe in a comfy hotel
+
Mezőkövesd is near Eger and the Bükk region, so you can pair the weekend with thermal baths and wine country day trips
+
No strict Hungarian needed: hotel setting, buffet format, and clear schedule make it manageable for English-speaking visitors
+
Getting there is feasible: about 1.5–2 hours by car from Budapest on good roads; by train/bus you can reach Mezőkövesd and taxi or local bus to the hotel
+
Great value for money by U.S. standards—two nights with multiple buffet feasts, wellness access, and live music for roughly $140–160/person
+
Compared with similar “food + folk” weekends in Central/Eastern Europe, this one’s more all-you-can-eat and hotel-comfy than rustic, so it’s easier for first-timers - Heavy on pork and offal; not ideal for vegetarians, light eaters, or anyone with strict dietary restrictions
Cons
The subject (disznótor/pig-slaughter traditions) is niche internationally, so expectations may need a quick Google before you go
Mezőkövesd itself isn’t a globally famous destination, so you won’t get big-city sightseeing or name recognition
Public transport from Budapest requires a transfer and short taxi ride; not hard, but less plug-and-play than events inside major cities
