Goes down to get kitchen items (5)
I believe the answer is:
sinks
This clue is a double definition.
'goes down' is the first definition.
(sinking is a kind of going down)
'kitchen items' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'to get' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sinks that I've seen before include "Declines markedly" , "Basins" , "Dips" , "Goes down" , "Scuttles" .)
