For celebrations, gatherings and special occasions
Whether you’re marking a moment or bringing people together, The Packhorse Inn offers a relaxed setting for private dining and special events. Enjoy good food, a well stocked bar and thoughtful service.
At the centre of Moulton, on the edge of the village green, The Packhorse Inn is a traditional pub shaped by its kitchen and part of everyday village life. Menus follow the seasons with a focus on local producers and the best of the region. With bedrooms made for a good night’s sleep, it’s a relaxed place to stay and explore the surrounding area, just a couple of miles from Newmarket, Suffolk, the home of British horse racing.
Our menus change with what’s coming in – game in season, fish from the coast, and vegetables at their best. We keep things simple, working closely with regional and local growers and producers and cooking as it should be.
Our wine list balances easy and familiar with interesting and unusual, and there’s a Black Book for when you’re after something a bit special. Alongside that, you’ll find well-kept beers and a good range of spirits.
The Packhorse Inn is home to sixteen bedrooms, set across the pub, courtyard and barn. Each has its own character, combining thoughtful design with simple comforts, from good mattresses to Connock England amenities. Dogs are welcome too, making it an easy place to settle in and stay a night or two.
What’s on at The Packhorse Inn changes through the year, shaped by the kitchen and what’s happening locally. Alongside a few regular fixtures, you’ll find wine dinners and seasonal sharing suppers, to live music in the garden.

Butcher's Best
Once a month we roll up our sleeves and do things the old-school way: one half of a Suffolk cow, prepared in-house and served as a menu of premium cuts. No two are quite the same - expect the likes of ribeye, sirloin and picanha, simply done and paired with good wine. Bring a few friends and a healthy appetite. Served from 6pm.
Give a little something to look forward to. From a night away in the Suffolk countryside to a leisurely lunch, a good dinner or a few drinks at the bar, our gift vouchers leave the choice to them.
