As part of Wandsworth African Caribbean Food Month – and the Council’s Black History Month and London Borough of Culture celebrations – we invite you to discover the rich heritage of Tooting’s African and Caribbean communities.
Led by Geoff Simmons (Planet Tooting) and Dawn Burton (Caribburton Catering), this guided tour will take you to local food businesses run by families and individuals from across the African and Caribbean diaspora, including:
- Kimmie’s Jerk Joint
- Elsa’s Kitchen
- Pepi’s
- The Lone Fisherman
- Sunyani Market
- Ital Vital
- Mixed Blessings Bakery
Through conversations with chefs, cooks, producers, and shop owners, you’ll discover the personal and culinary narratives that bind generations and cultures together. You’ll also enjoy delicious tastings and learn about the deep-rooted African Caribbean culinary traditions in Tooting.
