A rustic winter tradition gets the hotel treatment in Mezőkövesd as the Hajnal Hotel rolls out its Disznótoros Weekend, blending a classic Hungarian pig-slaughter feast with wellness downtime and live music. Throughout the season, guests can tuck into freshly made toros dishes, soak up the family vibe, and enjoy a program that’s half culinary celebration, half cozy retreat. The event runs Friday to Sunday at 3400 Mezőkövesd, Hajnal St. 2 (Hajnal u. 2.), with a minimum of 40 guests required to go ahead.
Friday arrival sets the tone with a live-music buffet dinner. The generous spread and the band bring on that cheerful, communal, country-house energy right away, so the weekend starts social and stays that way.

Saturday: The Feast Day
The morning lands with a proper tor twist: each guest gets one shot of pálinka and one cup of mulled wine between 7:00–9:00 at reception, then a buffet breakfast from 7:00–10:00. Lunch keeps it traditional with a buffet featuring pork backbone soup with vermicelli and vegetables, toros cabbage, roast meats with potatoes, and fresh strudel.
Evening is the highlight: the disznótor with live music and a buffet piled high with soups, roasted meats and ribs, blood and liver sausages, mashed potatoes with onions, stuffed cabbage, plus honey cream slice and pudding for dessert. The music and old-school flavors do the rest—pure, big-hearted village atmosphere.
Sunday, Wellness, Extras
Sunday wraps with a hearty buffet breakfast featuring cracklings and bacon—just the right finish for a flavor-packed weekend. Between meals, guests can relax in the hotel’s wellness area for some post-feast recharging.
Extend your stay on Thursday and/or Sunday night and get a gift treatment: choose one from shockwave therapy, mofetta cabin, 3D massage chair, BEMER, or jade stone massage bed. Book both Thursday and Sunday and the gift doubles. Gift treatments aren’t automatic; request them at reception.
