Rayleigh and Wickford MP Mark Francois recently attended the galla opening of local South American Steak and Fish restaurant, Los Amigos, in Wickford, where he was joined by colleagues from Basildon Borough Council including Councillor Christopher Jackman, Deputy Mayor of Basildon, Councillor Tony Ball, Leader of Basildon Council and Councillors Malcolm & Sylvia Buckley.
As well as attending the event, Mark was given the special honour of cutting the ribbon to officially open the restaurant, before guests including friends and family were invited to join staff to sample the extremely good food Los Amigos has to offer.
Commenting on the opening of Los Amigos, Mark said;
‘I thoroughly enjoyed the opening night at Los Amigos and the wonderful food that was on offer. It was a well organised event, and I was struck by the lively ambience of the restaurant, and the pleasant atmosphere, clearly created by so many people enjoying themselves. I firmly believe Los Amigos will be an asset to the town of Wickford, and therefore also to my constituents who live there.’
