Rabbit meat from somewhere in Kent (7)

I believe the answer is:

chatham

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'somewhere in kent' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'rabbit meat' is the wordplay.
'rabbit' becomes 'chat' (I've seen this before).
'meat' becomes 'ham' (ham is a kind of meat).
'chat'+'ham'='CHATHAM'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chatham that I've seen before include "N. Kent dockyard town" , "Medway town" , "Former naval town in Kent" , "Place in Kent" , "Historic naval town" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
