A veritable palace of culinary delights, it's impossible to forget that sprawling, opulent space.

To those who frequented it, POSH was more than just a restaurant; it was a destination, a place where celebrations unfolded, and memories were etched in the warm glow of candlelight and dimmed lighting.

Now, transformed into the esteemed Everest Nepalese Restaurant, POSH holds a special place in the hearts of many. 

It was within those walls that countless cherished memories were forged, from romantic anniversaries to boisterous celebrations with friends.

These photographs, frozen in time from a magical March evening back in 2005, forever capture the vibrancy and joy of that era.

They were taken during a fundraising night for Southampton General Paediatric Unit. 

But let's not simply dwell on nostalgia. The transition from POSH to Everest reflects a broader narrative of Southampton's dynamic culinary scene.

Restaurants, like the city itself, are in a constant state of evolution.
