ARCOLA - When Jamie Lynn and Wendy Funk collaborated and opened their Little Coffee Shop on the Prairies in Regina, they had always dreamed of owning a restaurant.
Jamie loves to bake and Wendy loves to cook. They both have years of experience in the hospitality industry. Their food truck, Truck 鈥榥鈥� Delicious, followed with a passion for all things fun. The two have an entrepreneurial spirit and love new adventures and challenges.
So, when the Bite 鈥榥鈥� Brew dream in Regina was quashed, they regrouped and looked at the opportunities that began to unfold in front of them.
They decided Arcola and the High House is where their dreams would come true.
鈥淲e are so excited to bring The Pub in the High House, The Restaurant in the High House, The Bakery in the High House, and a soon to be Sweet Shop in the High House to the area.鈥�
Their vision for this adventure is nothing short of spectacular.
Buddy鈥檚 Pub in the High House is open for business as usual. No change will be made to the menu at this time. Current hours Sunday and Monday, 5-9 p.m., Tuesday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5-9 p.m., Friday, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5 p.m.-midnight, and Saturday 11 a.m.-midnight.
Their vision for The Pub moving forward is to bring it back to its roots and once again be the host of the cultural life of the community. They are planning on having special event nights, live entertainment and daily drink and food specials. You can expect to look forward to Monday Night Football, CFL, NHL, Bingo, fight nights, wine nights for the women, meat draws and Chase the Ace.
You can follow their Facebook page Arcola High House for daily specials, hours and upcoming events. They are also open to suggestions from the community on what they would like to see.
The Restaurant in the High House is tentatively set to be open on Dec 1. Details are still being worked out and hours of operation have not yet been decided. It will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with regular fare, but also some great speciality items.
A few exciting items on the menu are homemade soups, buns, poutines, potato jackets and so much more. There will also be a daily special for lunch and dinner. Sunday is a very special day and will be open for brunch at 10 a.m. and a special roast dinner every week that will rotate weekly from beef, pork, ham, chicken, turkey, etc. in keeping with Wendy's family tradition.
The dinner will change up each week. Also available will be specialty coffees, expresso, latt茅s, etc. as both Wendy and Jamie Lynn have barista experience.
The Bakery in the High House will have fresh baked sweet cinnamon buns, flapper pie, lemon meringue pie, cheesecake, custom cakes, cupcakes and sugar cookies for any occasions with edible images, just to name a few.
The Sweet Shoppe is set to open in the spring, and you can look forward to old-fashioned carnival food with homemade candies, ice cream, sundaes, cotton candy, snow cones, candy, baking and many other special treats. Jamie Lynn with the Bakery in the High House will also be hosting baking and decorating classes to one and all. Kids, adults and sensory friendly as well.
Wendy and Jamie Lynn's vision for the High House is to bring the community together and have somewhere for everyone to come and enjoy good food, family and friendships.
Welcome to Arcola, ladies.
