Blanch House In my job I get to meet a lot of interesting people, go to interesting places and do interesting things. One such interesting person that I met at a Brighton & Hove Food and Drink event recently is Jeremy Ornellas who is one of the owners of Blanch House, a hotel I only knew by reputation. He explained that it had been acquired out of receivership during an economic downturn in 2011 and that there had been a top to bottom refurbishment. He also very kindly invited me to come and see it for myself. So with my girlfriend Jo we went off to check it out.
