In Cockney rhyming slang, "Tom" typically refers to "Tommy Tucker," which means "dinner" or "food." The phrase is often used in everyday conversation among speakers of Cockney to refer to meals in a playful way. This form of slang is characterized by replacing a Word with a phrase that rhymes with it, sometimes dropping the rhyming part. For instance, one might say, "I’m off to have my Tom," meaning they are going to eat.
