Not all Ryman residents can claim viral internet sensation status – but Patrick Hogan Retirement Village’s Doug Lineham sure can!

It was during the live televised name reveal for Ryman Healthcare’s new Cambridge village on TVNZ’s Breakfast that presenter Matty McClean happened upon Doug.
The resulting hilarious sequence of dry, but complimentary-to-Ryman, one-liners left the audience calling for Doug to have his own show. One fan even touted him as the next PM!
What viewers didn’t know, however, was that behind the droll exterior, Doug was dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Jan.

But post-Covid, this restaurant has lost its mojo and is just a shell of the reputation it had quickly and carefully built up.
Staffing shortages - deliberate or not - and the advent and the virtual taking-over of its takeaway arm have bitten into the establishment to the point that it will soon self-discover an undercurrent of customer resistance.
Waiting times for meals for sit-in customers who have ordered can be well over an hour, orders made by telephone can be lost in space, the meal preps are not as good as they once were and quality has taken a backward step. Efficiency has gone out the door and the meals have been down-sized.
One can only hope for an eventual revival for a return to its former glory. The competition is huge even in Upper Hutt.
Some Cafes in Upper Hutt can do better with not much effort. However they may also be experiencing the effects of a downturn in patronage or spending at such places as cafes, bars and restaurants which is likely to continue for most of 2024.

However they may also be experiencing the effects of a downturn in patronage or spending at such places as cafes, bars and restaurants which is likely to continue for most of 2024.
Of four recent cafes in Upper Hutt to open their doors, three have ongoing issues at this stage.
One has been operating for 6-7 weeks and despite the mostly good weather has yet to introduce outside tables and chairs to its patio which has a garden outlook. If it's not getting sufficient customers, maybe part of the answer is pretty clear to see why not.
Have visited another twice within the time frame published and on one occasion told that the cafe had closed early through lack of customers and the second time that the coffee equipment had been turned off through lack of customers.
Went to another cafe for a first visit and the coffee was luke warm.
More promising at a fourth, who told me they were going to extend their opening hours.
