Kitchen smells gross when washing machine fills up

I put the laundry in and turned the washer on, the washing machine was filling up with water ready to wash the clothes and a foul smell engulfed the kitchen. It must be coming from the pipes, the washing machine itself doesn’t smell foul. The washing machine is right next to the sink and I think the smell is coming from the sink.

What’s causing this and how do I solve this?

Start with putting boiling water and some bleach down the sink drain.
When the shops open, buy some drain unblocker and use it regularly
