I often hear brits discussing having their meals at pubs, so it must not be
that
bad.

Pub food can be wildly variable, from some just doing stuff that is basically a reheated commercial pie and instant gravy with microwave chips, to some being near chef level cooking with quality ingredients.

There has been a massive change in my lifetime, following tighter drink-driving legislation. In my youth, pub food was a grudging addition to encourage lunchtime drinking. With decreasing consumption of alcohol, and increasing competition from supermarkets, the majority of pubs have at least increased the scale and variety of their offerings and a good many are now really restaurants with decent draught beer and a dartboard. My chef son produces Michelin-star food in pubs.

If you pick a slightly odd definition of "restaurant" all a pub needs to do is outperform Greggs.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with them but they aren't really "haute cuisine".
