Who is The New Englander?

Experience first. Hospitality always.

Founded in 2009 and owned by Chef Joe Armstrong, The New Englander was built from real restaurant work. Its concepts and recipes are not theory: they have been developed in working kitchens, served to guests and improved through direct experience.

The New Englander brings together Chef Joe’s culinary background, The Angry Tomato pantry collection, private and corporate catering, seasonal holiday meals and future hospitality concepts. It reflects the food, character and independent spirit of New England while maintaining the standards of professional kitchens and fine dining.
