Before you go

  • Closed Sunday. Monday and weekend hours close earlier than Tue/Thu/Fri.
  • Arrive for lunch rather than a late afternoon plate.
  • Pair with Skylight Inn if you want two Ayden whole-hog reads in one trip.

About this stop

Bum’s pairs eastern whole hog with a steam-table vegetable board that still feels like a small-town meat-and-three, a short walk from Skylight Inn on Third Street.

It is a practical double-stop with Skylight when you want both the cleaver room and a broader plate of sides in the same Ayden afternoon.
