Real reviews. Local knowledge. No nonsense. Hi, and welcome to Honest Guide Inverness. If you live in the Highlands, you know the struggle. You need a plumber now, or you’re looking for a cafe that actually serves good coffee, but you don’t know where to start. You search Google, but the reviews are mixed, or the “best” results are just big chains. I built this site to solve that problem.
Why “Honest” Guide?
The internet is full of directory sites that businesses pay to be listed on. This isn’t one of them. Honest Guide Inverness is a collection of genuine recommendations based on real experiences. If a plumber turned up late but did a great job, I’ll tell you. If a restaurant has amazing food but overpriced drinks, I’ll let you know. If a mechanic saved the day without ripping me off, I’ll shout about it.
What You’ll Find Here
I focus on the services that keep our local lives running and the places that make Inverness great: Trades: From emergency electricians to reliable joiners. Services: Removals, storage, and haulage you can trust. Food & Drink: The best local takeaways, cafes, and restaurants (and which ones to avoid). Local Shops: Highlighting independent businesses over big retail parks.
How It Works
I am a local resident using these services just like you. My reviews follow a simple format: The Job/Order, The Experience, and The Verdict. I don’t accept payment in exchange for a positive review. If a business is on this site with a recommendation, it’s because they earned it.

Do you know a hidden gem in Inverness or a tradesperson who deserves more work? I’d love to hear about it.
