Food for thought. We have lots of nonsense stuff everywhere and it generally gets a lot of very positive comments.
When first reopening nearly 15 years ago with fresh paint and clean floors some old timers did not appreciate the change but hopefully as the pub has grown our locals enjoy conversation starters. (Some even taking our items to be appreciated in the privacy of their own homes 🫠)

Walk into a big chain pub. Look at the walls.

Mass produced prints of vintage bicycles. Fake historical blueprints nobody can read. A typeface chosen by a brand agency to look "heritage." It looks exactly the same in Manchester as it does in Southampton as it does in a retail park outside Exeter.
Every detail on that wall was bought. Nothing on it was lived.

Now walk into a real independent pub.
The framed photo of the 1994 pub football team, half of them unrecognisable now, all of them still drinking in the same corner. The charity tin on the bar nobody remembers putting there but everybody still puts their change in. The dent in the bar where one regular has rested the same elbow for thirty years. The dartboard with the section worn pale from a thousand games nobody kept score of.
None of that was bought. All of it was lived.

Here is the mistake a lot of independent landlords make without realising it.
They look at the chain pub down the road with its bright colours, its matching furniture, its perfectly on-brand signage, and they think that is what professional looks like. So they tidy up. Smarten up. Take down the slightly faded photos and the mismatched chairs and try to look a bit more like the place with the marketing budget.
That is exactly backwards.

Chains can buy a marketing team. They cannot buy thirty years of a regular's elbow wearing a dent in your bar.

The thing that makes an independent pub worth choosing over a chain is the one thing a chain can never replicate no matter how big its budget gets — genuine, accumulated, lived-in history that belongs to one specific room and nobody else's.
That history is not a flaw to tidy away. It is the entire competitive advantage.

This applies to your marketing too, not just your walls.

A polished, professional, on-brand social media post that could belong to any pub is you accidentally trying to look like the chain. A photo of the actual dent in the bar, the actual team photo, the actual charity tin, with the actual story behind it — that is you reminding people why a chain could never be what you are.
Stop tidying away your mess, your history, and your local quirks.

They are not unprofessional. They are the one thing on this earth that cannot be franchised.
