Hi AnthonyB, thank you for your response

Staff accommodation above pub/restaurant with primary escape route via an external staircase. However, the FRA gives an alternative route using an unprotected staircase into a commercial kitchen to use the fire exit there. Is an alternative escape route via a commercial kitchen acceptable? In my opinion the fact that it is not a protected route and utilises a risk room it is not. Also an alternative route is not required due to small numbers present.
